ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.
An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.
Wow, hindutva in the Fediverse. That’s new.
The points raised about Pakistan are true though. The government has always been pro-terrorism.
Modi is a piece of shit and is honestly an embarrassment for India. One of India’s strengths was relative tolerance of cultural diversity and a strong commitment to democracy (something you don’t often see with relatively poor countries).
-Them. Do you get what I mean? Whatever problems Pakistan may have—and however democratic India might be—doesn’t excuse lobbing rockets at mosques. Also what’s that about them being pro-terrorism?
I wouldn’t be so quick to portray the strike as solely a bombing of religious institutions. I don’t know which exact Mosque India hit and what its background is, but the situation is a bit more complex than you describe.
Many of the mosques in Pakistan are little more than extremist training camps and arguably have little to do with Islam. This isn’t unique to Pakistan, from living in the US, I got the impression that many Christian “churches” are more like corruption/tax fraud schemes and/or fronts for enabling political corruption.
Got a source for that? Because according to Pakistan 31 civilians, including at least two children, were killed in the strike, and while I’m not one to take belligerents’ words at face value these numbers are hard to fake.
The article you cited states:
This wasn’t a random mosque. It clearly had links to a terrorist organisation. The interviewees claim the place wasn’t tied to terrorism, but I am not convinced.
Note how they never explicitly mention what exactly they teach.
The broad spread of extremism in Pakistan’s mosques and their use by terrorist/Islamist groups is widely documented (just search it).
Note I can’t stand Mohdi and I think he is an embarrassment for India, but that doesn’t mean I am going to ignore the how fucking crazy Pakistani Islamists are (and that all Pakistani governments have supported and nurtured violent Islamist movements as long as they didn’t directly challenge the government).
Read the article again. It was taken over by the government in 2019. The guy who founded JuD was, again as stated in the article, arrested in 2019 and imprisoned for financing terrorism.
So you simply want to believe that the mosque was used by terrorists.
Nope, secular atheist from the US.
But Pakistan is a plague, they support terrorism for fun, they supported the worst terrorist in history while pretending to help find him.
Everybody should be anti-Pakistan as a matter of course.
Can I be anti-everyone involved?
I mean, that’s fine.
I don’t hate India because they actually were fairly progressive in the past, even if they’re backsliding now.
You’ve been spewing hindutva shit throughout this thread so if you claim to not be a Hindu nationalist then stop carrying water for fascists. You sound like Zionists trying to “prove” that Israel should be allowed to genocide Gazans.
I’m not pro-hindu at all.
But fuck Pakistan, fuck them to death.
Btw, it’s funny you mention zionism.
Becauae Pakistan expelled or massacred their Hindus worse than the dreams of Israel.
Also: “Everybody I disagree with is a zionist.” lemmy’s favorite game.
Not only Hindus. Their treatment of Ahmadis is deplorable. They can’t vote (unless they declare themself to be non Muslim). They can’t pray in public, quote the Quran or pray in regular mosques. They aren’t considered Muslim. The constitution itself discriminates against them.
