Who is at fault; India or Pakistan? An overview of the Kashmir conflict and an unravelling of the “coincidental” similarities between the Kashmir occupation and the occupation of Palestine. India has sent additional troops into Jammu & Kashmir and is oppressing the people (particularly the Muslim population). With the rise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, (a Trump-like nationalist in India), there has been a significant rise in extremist Hindu groups throughout India, and Muslims are being targeted. Tensions between Pakistanis and Indians has increased and the Muslims of the region face yet another fitnah that threatens to divide them. Who are the main perpetrators in the region? What is the stance of Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Leader? What does the history of Kashmir reveal to us about the #EnemiesOfIslam?

The US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke has arrived with high ranking American military commander, Admiral Mike Mulle, in India for top level meetings.
Their trip comes amid India's concern over Barack Obama, the US president's new strategy towards Afghanistan and Pakistan, which it fears is biased towards Pakistan.
But, as Al Jazeera's Todd Baer reports from Kabul, Pakistan is also worried about the motives behind India's increasing aid to Afghanistan.

The Indian occupied Kashmir is subjected to oppression, bullying, terrorism, murder, rape, and immense psychological torture by the Indian government and the Indian army. This treacherous plot of the British continues to be a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since 1947. For all these years, the innocent Kashmiri population has been paying the price of resisting against the continued oppression and occupation by India.

More tensions along the border between India and Pakistan; at least a dozen people have been injured as the two sides exchange fire over the Kashmir border.
Several children were among those injured. The fresh round of violence started at border posts along the frontier on Thursday. Pakistani officials have accused Indian troops of initiating the violence by firing along the frontier and injuring two people. Similarly, India has accused the Pakistani side of violating the ceasefire by firing mortars on at least 50 Indian border posts. Skirmishes along the border have intensified despite the first face-to-face meeting between the Pakistani prime minister and his Indian counterpart in New York last month.

Canadians pack Nathan Philip Square in Toronto to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Kashmir
Sunday August 18 (Toronto) – thousands of Canadians packed Toronto’s iconic Nathan Philip Square in Toronto to raise their voices in support of the oppressed people of Kashmir.
Organized by Friends of Kashmir Canada, people from all walks of life and belonging to all faiths attended. They included Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and people of other faiths.
Young and old, children as well as people in wheelchairs were there to lend support to their Kashmiri brothers and sisters.
At its peak the crowd was so large that it could not be accommodated in the square so people had to climb to the overhead walkway to watch the rally below.
The rally was held to coincide with India’s independence day celebrations paid for the Indian Consulate in Toronto where an India Food Festival was also held.
Realizing the size of the rally in support of the people of Kashmir, Indian consulate staff maintained a low profile and cancelled a number of events including a formal opening ceremony, settling for music blaring from their loudspeakers.
The several dozen vendors peddling greasy Indian food were also subdued, preferring to adopt a low profile aware that the rally participants were highly charged although organizers repeatedly reminded people to ignore Indian vendors peddling their wares.
Speakers were not just from the Kashmiri or Pakistani communities but also included such well-known Canadian society figures as Sid Ryan, former President Ontario Federation of Labor, Journalist Phil Taylor of the famous Taylor Report, Peace Activist Ken Stone, Karen Rodman of Just Peace Advocates and Human Rights Lawyer, Stephen Ellis.
Framing it in the context of International law and based on UN Security Council resolutions, speakers repeatedly called upon the Canadian government to take a more forthright stand on the long-festering problem of Kashmir.
Several speakers also highlighted the fact that with federal elections due in October, the question of Kashmir should be made a part of the election campaign. Rally participants were told that when candidates come knocking at your door seeking your vote, ask them about their stand on Kashmir.
“If they don’t support the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, tell them they will not have your vote,” said Zafar Bangash, Convener of the Friends of Kashmir Canada and one of the principal organizers of the rally.
Ken Stone reminded rally participants that it was a retired Canadian general, Andrew MacNaughton who was instrumental in formulating the earlier Security Council resolutions. “Canada, therefore, has a moral and legal responsibility to fulfill its obligations in implementing the resolutions that it drafted.”
Sid Ryan, the former Labor leader and now an accomplished author, called upon people to unite for justice and peace causes whether these relate to Kashmir or Palestine.
Human Rights Lawyer Stephen Ellis said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be investigated for war crimes, a sentiment echoed by another lawyer, Jatinder Singh, who is with the group, Sikhs for Justice.
A number of young Kashmiri students among them Salma Khawaja, Khaoula Siddiqi, Shaheen Siddiqui, Ayesha Malik (not her real name because her parents are still in Srinagar and she managed to get out of there with the help of the Canadian High Commission staff in Delhi) and Mueen Hakak also spoke narrating passionate accounts of the suffering of the Kashmir people.
There were also a number of speakers from the Sikh community that came to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
Rally organizers vowed that the struggle for the rights of the Kashmiris will continue until they achieve their legitimate aspirations to hold a referendum as contained in a number of UN Security Council resolutions.

[07 June 2012] 'SCO can prevent terrorism in Asia' - English
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has lashed out at NATO's eastward expansion, saying it's aimed at stopping the growth of the member states of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Ahmadinejad said NATO members are trying to resurrect what he called past colonialist relations, adding "the colonialists are equally opposed to the development of China, Russia, India and Iran as well as other members of the SCO." He further called for a new world order, saying the current one has failed because of its "inhumane and unfair nature."
