| Muslim rightsÂ’ group warns India to keep troops out of Afghanistan |
| 2006-07-02 |
| A Muslim rights group has cautioned Prime Minister Manmohan Singh against sending Indian troops to Afghanistan to beef up the US-led forces, saying this would have “severe consequences”. “Even the slightest reflection of being with the American-led forces in Afghanistan would have severe consequences and would send disastrous signals not only to common Afghans but also to the domestic population in India, apart from putting the minute Hindu and Sikh population in Afghanistan at great risk,” Navaid Hamid, secretary of the South Asian Council for Minorities (SACM), said in a letter to the prime minister. Recalling the fallout of India's foray into Sri Lanka in the 1980s to broker peace between the government and Tamil Tigers, Hamid maintained it would be “disastrous, politically and historically, to align with the forces which are messed up in the situation created by their misadventures in the troubled nation”. |

| #6 I'd like to see Turkey offer 25 divisions to help the US in Afghanistan - by moving across Pakiwakiland in full destruct mode, especially in the NWFP and Kashmir. Leave no stone unturned, no armed muzzie alive. THEN help us clean out Iran and Syria. We'll help them at home with a few modern weapons - Strykers, M1A2 tanks, MLRS, and 50,000 brand-new Ma-deuce, with ammo, plus some veto power in the UN. |

| #5 Could it be that our "Muslim Rights Group" is a front for a terrorist organization? hmmm... I'm sure the reporter would have sniffed that out. Naw. The real news would be finding a Muslim "rights" group that isn't a terrorist front. |

| #4 Islamic groups were successful in preventing the deployment of a division of Indian troops to Iraq. With rumors of India offering at least a brigade to the US effort, they want to nip this in the bud. |

| #3 Afghanistan is a Muslim against Muslim conflict. So Muslim "rights" groups in India want to be under Taliban control? Could it be that our "Muslim Rights Group" is a front for a terrorist organization? hmmm... I'm sure the reporter would have sniffed that out. |

| #2 Hum, this muslim rights group seems to have a his priorities a bit mixed up, when it is in fact threatening its host body. Btw, this IMHO shows well its loyalties and concerns go to the ummah first, a deep trend among muslims I fear. |
