Public sentiment regarding the Pahalgam terror attack is highly polarized. While many commenters express strong national pride and support for aggressive military responses to Pakistan, there is also significant frustration over the government’s decision to pause military action and concerns about national security. Calls for unity against terrorism coexist with criticism of political exploitation of the tragedy, showcasing the complexity of opinions on the issue.

I seriously doubt your hypothesis. Missiles going in on the airbase is one thing, but we sent in missiles straight into terrorist’s homes. Won’t dare to do it again. 

geodude84

It will be a huge blunder from Pak if it happens soon. They have already let their 'Trump' card exposed and I don't think that India will feel any major 'Trump' effect this time. Muneer will have to look for more viable option to play in the backdrop of the skirmish. Recently India has sent a message to US that they would reduce the import of Russia Oil only if sanctions are lifted from Venezuelan and Iranian Oil (Source - Global Eye News on X). So, it won't be easy for Pak to get Trump along in it anytime soon.

Playful_Umpire_8066

2017-19? Like a decade before that we had much crazier designs. Gear knobs, slider, flip, slide qwerty, music keys, twist. Nokia, Sony Ericsson etc. were pumping out truly quirky funny designs. Now it's all blocks.

pr1m347

This time, the attack will likely come from either Nepal or Bangladesh, and it'll hit a major city because Pakistan is assuming that it has American blessing. But at the same time, I am sure that there'll be very little pressure on India given Trump has already used up all his goodwill and leverage on the trade issue and Saudi Arabia never had enough leverage to deter India, what would be a scarier possibility would be China heating up the border instead.

nergal007

Slightly off topic but I'm questioning what Suadi is gaining by partnering with Pak? Could it be that they want another nuclear state by their side as USA slips down the list of dependable friends?

SabAccountBanKarDiye

Completely agree with your opinion 
But I feel this time the stakes are too high for Pakistan and it's adversaries

Outrageous_Gas6684

Because now he is busy dealing with America. The biggest negotiating point of pakistan is not that they will go nuclear. It is that they will turn into Iran. 
While dealing with Saudi and America is on, pakistan is not in a corner. He has to play ball.

He can not send his agents across the border while dealing with other countries.

He equated pakistan to a dump truck, and now that truck is carrying valuable payload. He can not risk jeopardising that for the sake of irritating india. 
There is no upside for the next attack.

Equivalent-Fee-5897

I agree with everything you wrote. But,  
  
Did you expect the destruction of terrorist airbases at no cost at all without SEAD ? And if so, do you genuinely believe they would not have evacuated said terrorist sites with the assistance of pakistan military within minutes ?

Rare_Turnover_420

Wait you think India caved under pressure for a ceasefire? I thought it was Pakistan that reached out to India for a ceasefire? There was also widely reported tension between India and the US because the Indian government rejected Trump's suggestion that he pressured them into a ceasefire. Do you feel the Indian government was lying about this and that it got pressured into a ceasefire with Pakistan?

G20DoesPlenty

Right now I think Pakistan will focus more on bringing in other countries into their defence setup, especially strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia and maybe even USA. That will give them more backing and confidence for such moves.

LibranduMan

US knows how to use pak army and saudi money against India better than anyone else in the world

Pure_Garlic_7454

I agree with your point but I don't think we didn't cause enough of a strategic deterrent. From Uri to Balakot and recently Pahalgam we have been raising the bar with our responses... And the amount of damage our missiles did in Op Sindoor was just too much. The sat pics literally reveal how insane it was for them alone. 

So yeah I do agree that pak will do what it does again and India can be diplomatically isolated but again we have China under who Pak pays it's allegiance too and china doesn't want the conflict so let's see

Those are not atheist. Those are anti hindu hiding behind atheist identify.

Being Atheist i condemn them. They are bringing bad name to us.

Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in god. Period.

Atheists have no business with supporting one religion and being against any religion. Doing this is hypocrisy and propaganda.

Atheist can respect religions doing thier own thing without following it.

Atheist is not someone who derespects religions. If someone derespects or involved in religious matters then he is not atheistism.

Political parties and religious fellows are hiding behind terms like seculism, atheism, feminism etc just to attack some religions. And for political gains. And due to them bad names is coming to these philosophies.

Honest question - Where is this beating, destroying their shops, forcing them to leave their homes happening? I have read one or two incidents of forcing them to say “Jai Shree Ram” but other things mentioned here? Like are you serious? In fact, in one instance, two Muslim youngsters beheaded a poor Hindu tailor for putting some pro Hindu story on his whatsapp. Recently, Muslims pelted stones unprovoked at Ganesh Chaturthi procession in Karnataka. It happened in two different districts of the state. But someone tell me where this alleged attacks by Hindus are taking place? Drop links to sources please

We dont hate islam, we hate the lack of accountability and calling out, instead coming out and saying bullshit politically coreect statements like " violence is not the answer" or "religion has nohand in this" etc

Then why this atheist people leave their religion if they don't like how their family tried to make them religious. If you use logic with them you will be banned like me

Gop_Gop_001

Most of terrorist attack done by muslims if that many of people are becoming terrorists from a single religion there must be something wrong in islam

knisq

Extremists exist in every religion but we must ask the question why extremists from only one religion are responsible for all the te*ror attacks across the globe? 


Anyways it's better to ignore these low iq idiots.

Spirited-Loss-7600

I hold the same belief. I loathe all forms of extremist actions, be it in Islam, or Hinduism, or any other religion for that matter. I strongly think that instead of targeting the entire religion, we should focus on the extremist elements because ultimately we are all Indians no matter what AND WE HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER NO MATTAR WHAT. Attacking religion as a whole is only going to drift us further apart. I totally understand that in case of Islam, at least from what I've read and seen, this extremist sentiment is a lot more and it definitely needs to be addressed. But at the same time we also need to reprimand people from other religion that indulge in such behavior.

TLDR: Target extremism and not religion because it'll only cause a bigger rift among us Indians.

Aggressive-Back2127

 But bro even some Muslims support that attack

callmeyourfriendokey

Such people are seen screeching against Hindutva and Hinduism when a single peaceful is barely touched.

RoutineOutrageous868

To a certain point he is right, but not in the way they might think. Don't confuse religion with Geo-politics, the Islam is simply a scapegoat as far as Pakistan is concerned. Jinnah didn't give a damn about Islam, he knew he won't be PM and he wanted his own paradise and the then religious sentiment was useful for him to get power. If instead of religion being the big problem, if caste was the dominant force, someone would have figured how to use that to get into power. What did you think Communists, Naxal and Mao extremists were trying to do?

Pakistan's new strategy is to throw Islam under the bus and create bad enough of an outrage and try to ruin the peace between the communities. I'm sure Muslims in India have their own interests about reservation for them, CAA and all that, but these are mostly civil and law and order issues that comes under the framework of constitution. Hindus and Muslims are not attacking each other daily like school shootings in America, but if it happens, that's a nice fault line that will become useful for predatory countries like US and more importantly Pakistan.

Pakistan would love nothing more than to turn the acts of terrorism they commit and convert the anger on the Muslims in India and create instability in India. If all they want to do is make an attack on India, they did it and they showcased it. What goal does 'go say to Modi' and targeting Hindus achieve? What do you think is the strategy behind it? If you think they are not dumb enough to successfully carry out an attack like this bypassing our good security measures, you really think they are dumb to waste time removing pants? They could have went around a few more people. And, they know we will hit back this time and yet they did it, why?

The problems Hindus have this the Muslim community and Muslim community has with the rest of India are issues that shouldn't be mixed up with Pakistan and make these terrorists issue as Hindu Vs Muslim. You are upset Hindus are selected and shot, but you din't react. next they will single out Hindu children and specifically behead them, they will hope your blood will boil a little bit more and maybe you will go kill a few Muslims and maybe they will get a videotape of it and spread it in the Muslim communities to show them how bad Hindus are and maybe they will hope this lead to riots like in 1940s India.

If you are dumb, you end-up being an useful idiot. What Pakistan would really love to have is total and complete support of Indian Muslims. Thankfully we have smarter leaders at the top level and a smart enough of a population to get into those rhetoric. And Pakistan will go into pieces before they ever get a double digit percentage of support from Muslim community in India. And America wouldn't like it very much because where else could they build another Nuclear storage facility to target China if not Pakistan. The entire Asian stretch from Iran till North Korea will be unavailable for them. And we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to the players who actually benefits from these terrorists attacks on India, especially if it leads to internal tension.

It's an issue with our nature of avoiding uncomfortable things and formulating theories/beliefs based on the limited information we have.

You are disagreeing on the fact that is most factual and logical in his post, something expected from this sub 😌

Ye koi atheist nahi he, sab propaganda felane wale he, har bar ek hi chij ko target karte he, Inko sirf "Hindu" hi dikhta he.

i_am_shivay

Atheists think only one way:
Anything that happens in any religion shit is just something I can watch and laugh about.They(believe of any religion) are never gonna accept it.
All I can do is laugh out loud because in a country like India we are a minority of the minority who just wear the mask of religion to blend with people.

Never seen a Hindu bombing while screaming Jai Shree Ram...

Kashmiri Hindu here. May I ask why I can't go back to my homeland, buy property, and feel safe living there WITHOUT any presence of security? Sure, it has nothing to do with Islam.

Dapper_Pollution5811

This guy in that exact post said the right thing, extremists exist in every religion, but you cannot blame an entire religion for it. The Quran never told the terrorists to launch such attacks or terrorise other religions? It was their own twisted version of it, that they spread around their communities and as long as people don't fight against the leaders of these organizations, nothing will happen

Also current BJP government is absolutely thriving on fearmongering Indians in the name of muslims, showing them as some form of historical threat to hinduism, and once they get the chance, they will make it hell for that community in the country

Going against someone's extremist ideology doesn't mean you support the other side too, like criticizing Modi does not make me a Rahul Gandhi fan, similarly criticizing the Hindus who blame an entire religion for some terrorist attacks doesn't make me pro-jihadi or pakistani whatever you guys like to call

I also assure you I will get and see comments of people selectively/cherrypicking quotes from Quran without context, make sure to check the context online or just ask ChatGPT to scan through the internet for the literal context of that line

Mean-Afternoon-6275

Islam doesn't say to kill humans. Terrorists are not muslims imo.

Mutthal8

And these same "intellectual atheists" are quick to label all Hindus as casteist, misogynist, superstitious, dirty

Arav_Goel

Don’t even waste your precious time in listening or hearing to these things which are purely paid ones. If you give them attention which they seek to make money, you lose. If you continuously ignore and moe forward with our own agenda, we can actually make progress in making India terrorists free country.

ramchi

honeslty i have people who are muslims and are if not the kindest but the most caring ones ever. its not about any religion,  its about liberation. gareedb aadmi ko tum esa doge and bachpan se uske dimag mei betha doge toh u cannot do shit. no one is born with hate inside them its imbedded into them after it. tum ko random unemployed bajrang dal ke members ko pese deke road pe la sakte ho religion ke naam mei danga machane. yes alll terror orgs have mulsim leader yes there is something very wrong in the manupilation. no god teaches anyone to hate it's own kind. the way they teach is the problem. its really not the religion u guys its the one teaching them

kelpweed079

dude i want someone to actually respectfully tell me that are the rumours of islam promoting violence against non muslims, and then some very horrifying ideologies true? or is it just misinterpretations that blow actual sentences out of proportion... im just really confused since, everywhere i go i see people saying all this stuff, but then how can a religion be so extreme! it doesnt make sense..

Visible_Pepper_3132

Extremists are in every religion. No religion is the best one.

Prestigious_Piano247

Hindutva goons who force others to say jai shree ram or murder people in the name of "gau raksha" should definitely be considered terrorists. I agree with that. Also, the Pahalgam attack was Islamic terrorism. But uske liyea apne local muslim ko marna, without any reason, is wrong.

Inubin

kan447

Does Hinduism has anything to do with the crimes hindutva groups commit? Take for instance the murders cow vigilante groups commit. They do so since they think cows are sacred in their religion

Hope his interrogation will help debunk more local terrorist supporters and sympathizers and avert future attacks. Eventually, it’s necessary that this guy, if found guilty, is hanged to send a strong message among local.

Lol , pahalgam attack was an insider job done by bjp , its clear everyone can see , but wont accept it. In past also BJP has done same things like pulwama attack.

farhankk

Almost all Kashmiri muslims and indian muslims condemned this attack openly. Yesterday, almost whole Kashmir was shutdown in solidarity with the victims. People raised their voices, did candle marchs and what not.


Still these low life uneducated scums, to justify these actions and attack muslims, make excuses like "They're doing it because of loss in tourism, this is just for drama, the attack wouldn't be possible without local support".
Now, imagine if we hadn't condemned it, they would've been saying "Look, no muslim/kashmiri condemned this attack, these guys support the terrorists".


Honestly, what the hell are we supposed to do then? These guys have problem with both. No matter what we do, they'll come up with excuses.


In reality, they just wanna hate muslims and are using this sad situation to justify their hate

For these people issue is islam. These bigots gonna hate no matter what IM do. So IM should not follow their lines IM do not need anyone validation and those people that preach apologism are only emboldening these bigots.

LifeSail8498

People are stupid and get easily angry on “others” (i.e. not them) everywhere.
It’s sad but this terrorist attack can and will be used for internal politics. There are elements on both sides of the border who want this divide to keep flourishing for their own distinct means. 

It’s ALWAYS up to us as people as to give in and be their puppets, or stand up and think rationally for ourselves. 

Note: I am a Hindu and believes in the good aspects of the Sangh. So, please don’t generalize us either.
Also, I strongly “believe” that this Kashmir attack was orchestrated from the shithole country next to us. I also assume that this video is probably true (as in it maintains the context of what it appears to convey). Every tragedy can become opportunity for some.
