Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s Hindu and Sikh communities take tough decision after deadly Kabul attack
[KhaamaPress] The Hindu and Sikh communities in Jalalabad city, the historic provincial capital of Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
, took a tough decision to relocate to a third country after a deadly attack in Kabul city which targeted a Sikh temple, killing at least 27 people.

Only two Hindu families currently live in Jalalabad city who have also decided to move after the Sikh community in the town decided to shift the ’Saroop’ of Guru Granth Sahib to safety, apparently to a third country.

A source within the Sikh community in Jalalabad city told The Times of India that they predict more attacks after deadly attack on Sikh temple in Kabul city.

The source further added that the Sikh community will most likely shift the ’Saroop’ of Guru Granth Sahib to Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistain's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire...
Gurdwara in Pakistain.

This comes as a group of turbans attacked the Sikh temple in Kabul city late last month, killing at least 27 people including an Indian national and wounding many others.

The offshoot of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in Afghanistan, ISIS Khurasan, grabbed credit for the attack.

#1  Ironically the order does no such thing. To be able to apply for a domicile certificate (permanent residency) in Jammu and Kashmir,and be eligible for a job in the government service, the order requires the applicant to have lived in the state for 15 years. It is actually easier to become an Indian citizen than to become a permanent resident of Jammu and Kashmir. India does not practice demographic invasion.

#2  Thanks to the Tablighi Jamaat, coronavirus is spreading in India. From January to March, almost 8500 stayed in the Delhi mosque complex, sometimes 2000 at a time. Two thousand men eating from communal plates with their hands, with the plates being reused for the next group without washing. Two thousand men using a pool of water for wudu. Washing their feet, hands, arms, noses, mouths in the same pool of water with 2000 other men. India is quarantining as many of these imbeciles as it can but....

#3  It's only the muslim community that congregates with these arseholes that will be infected. The law abiding majority has quarantined itself and is safely out of the way.

If the GOI is smart, they'll let nature and the CORONA do what they do best, what a thousand judges and ten thousand officers couldn't do in decades - selective culling of muslims in India.

It is wasteful, stupid and callous of the administration to provide them nurses, medical attention and security. Fuck 'em , I say. Give them placebos and aspirins when they beg for drugs, burn the bodies when they die. If the thing infects the larger population of lawless muslims in the cities it will be a God send. All we must do is keep our citizens segregated. The disease stays active on surfaces for not more than eight days. At the end of the quarantine, all public facilities will have been disinfected anyway.

As many as are dead by then, the rest of us can tweet a 'subhanallah' for them. I would even advocate the propagation of rumour in the community that any vaccine or drugs provided will stunt your masculinity or make you impotent.

#4  The aftermath was shocking. In quarantine they sexually harassed nurses, smoked beedis, walked around the hospital ward naked, sang obscene songs, cursed and spat at female doctors.

#5  I wonder what else they expected. The lines have been drawn since last year. This is no unified, secular society or 'the most diverse democracy' anymore. Modi's afraid of his 'Gujarati Hitler' image given by the media; the judiciary is bought out by Soros or just plain incompetent; and Indian society can't stop whining about 'who is misleading our muslim brethren ?' All they want is 'Sallu and status quo, please'. But things are never going back to the way they were. The idea of Ghazwa is here to stay, until it's stamped out.

If this is the way things will be allowed to go, India will be another England or France in another decade or two.

The inability of the Indian Pols to entrust State Security to the military, especially against islamic jihad, is a result of their own dishonesty and hypocrisy. They're secretly afraid of us taking over, or covertly controlling government policies somehow. VK Singh's TSD established how effectively intel on personal vices and corruption can be used against not only pols but police, judges, media and corporate bigwigs. Everyone fears that sort of creature. But the truth is, something like it could have greatly helped against the leftist-islamist combine today. That, and guerilla warfare a la Duterte. If the UN or west didn't call that crazy loon on his 'war on drug(gie)s', why do our Pols fear a backlash if they reciprocate the jihad ?

#6  Wikipedia:

Ghazi originally referred to individuals who participated in ghazw, meaning military expeditions or raiding. The latter term was applied in early Islamic literature to expeditions led by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and later taken up by Turkic military leaders to describe their wars of conquest. In the context of the wars between Russia and the Muslim peoples of the Caucasus, starting as early as the late 18th century's Sheikh Mansur's resistance to Russian expansion, the word usually appears in the form gazavat. Other forms of the term have been used in recent times by jihadist groups. In English language literature, the word often appears as razzia, a borrowing through French from Maghrebi Arabic. In modern Turkish, it is used to refer to veterans, and also as a title for Turkic champions such as Ertuğrul, Osman Gazi and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

#7  Yes, TW. Though the connotations have changed somewhat, because now that they don't have horse mounted champions of conquest, just bagpacking criminals and some IT trained nerds with delusions. So the doctrinaires of the jamaat have found a way to invoke the appeal of the historic 'Ghazis' with the current concept of ghazi and shaheed.

In modern jihadi parlance, you can be either a Ghazi or a Shaheed. If you carry out an op against kuffar and survive it you are a ghazi. If you perish in the act, a shaheed. A ghazi is seldom used again in a near suicidal op, since he/she has attained to a higher estate. But are afforded the proper respect, but a ghazi is often approached and elevated to a higher position in the jihadi hierarchy. Some agencies try to create ghazis too, to infiltrate higher ranks.

The idea of Gazhwat-ul-Hind (conquest of the Indian subcontinent) is the second part of the Ghalba-e-Islam (total domination of world)in the sasquatch eschaton.

#8  A razzia is a raid or plunder for new slaves or women. I understand the confusion a historian may have between the two. You see, medieval sasquatch warlords may record their paltry thuggery as a Ghazhwa and when inquired about, officials and locals may report it as a razzia, leaving the European to infer that they're the same thing.

A gazhwa is total take-over, the replacing of indigenous government and application of Shariat on a land. In our time, it is a word hidden and never uttered. Replaced by things like 'tolerance', 'secularism', etc. But it is the doctrine at the heart of all islamist lawfare - the CAIR, ICNA, ISNA, everything. The extremist cousins are just the enforcement arm of the ummah. The larger ummah is involved in the Gazhwa too. Just by populating their communities in our lands, they contribute to the gazhwa. The cleric or Qazi that blesses a wedding or a newborn often uses blessings like 'may this union produce many ghazis', or 'another ghazi is born today'.

#9  Ugh. Thank you for explaining, Dron66046. It had long been unclear to me what razzias were. I’ve only thought in terms of the soft jihad of the law, the hard jihad of the sword, the fun jihad of rape — all in Dar al Harb, the house of war. Dhimmitude laws and jizya accomplish the submission and encouragement of the remainder of permitted unbelievers — the Peoples of the Book (Jews and Christians) — to move to Islam in Dar al Islam.

Iran Accuses US Diplomats of Staging Coups, Arming Terrorists Amid Spat Over Slain Journalist
[SPUTNIKNEWS] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
of using "agents of terror" disguised as diplomats to carry out liquidations and engage in bomb plots across Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
on Thursday amid reports citing US intelligence that an Iranian hit squad was behind the death of a dissident Iranian journalist in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
late last year.

Iranian Foreign Ministry front man Abbas Mousavi has shot back at Secretary of State Pompeo over his claim that Iran’s diplomats are really "agents of terror" in disguise.

"Undisputed fact: US ’diplomats’ have long been in the business of coups, arming terrorists, fueling sectarian violence, supporting narcotics cartels, bullying governments and companies, spying on even US allies, flirting with dictators, butchers and terrorists, etc.," Mousavi tweeted Saturday, accompanying the tweet with a screenshot of Secretary Pompeo’s claims.
