Kashmir Women Stand By Their Men

No, it most certainly is not.

What strikes me the most is the DEAFENING SILENCE from the Obama administration and the AmeriKan MSM on government troops mowing down protesters -- especially considering their coverage of the Iranian protests last year.

Not only am I stunned by the beautiful dress
, I'm thinking they really look oppressed by their men.

Kind of OUT THERE FOR THEM, aren't they?

SRINAGAR, India — Two people were shot to death by security forces yesterday as deaths continued to mount during weeks of defiant protests against India’s rule over the predominantly Muslim region of Kashmir.

And all we get since the last time is this one-day wonder, folks.

You see, mowing down Muslims is not really news. Happens everyday by the hundreds if not thousands.


Unrest that has killed at least 57 people since June shows no signs of abating, despite deployment of thousands of troops and calls for calm from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Maybe it is BECAUSE OF the deployment of troops, one-sided agenda-pusher?


And if you WANT CALM tell your SOLDIERS to STOP FIRING INTO CROWDS!!

In fact, why don't you JUST LEAVE? It is TIME!


Tens of thousands of Kashmiris staged angry demonstrations Friday after government forces killed four people and wounded 31 others.

Yeah, those MUSLIMS are ALWAYS ANGRY -- and yet somehow it is THEY who WIND UP DEAD!!!


The situation in recent weeks has been reminiscent of the late 1980s, when protests against New Delhi’s rule sparked the armed conflict that has so far killed more than 68,000 people, mostly civilians.

And MOSTLY MUSLIM; however, the Muslim-hating AmeriKan MSM conveniently OMITS that fact!


Paramilitary soldiers opened fire with live ammunition yesterday on hundreds of rock-throwing demonstrators in Anantnag, a town south of Kashmir’s main city, Srinagar.

A 35-year-old man was killed, and at least four people were wounded, said a police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.

The shooting triggered massive protests in the town as thousands of residents filled the streets chanting slogans favoring independence.

And WHY can't they HAVE IT?

A young man was killed in the northern town of Narbal after troops fired at a group of stone-throwing protesters, the police officer said.

I keep WAITING to read U.S. DENUNCIATIONS, readers!

Anti-Indian sentiment runs deep in Kashmir, which is divided between Hindu-majority India and Pakistan but claimed by both. Protesters reject Indian sovereignty over Kashmir and want to form a separate country, or merge with predominantly Muslim Pakistan.

Then LET'S HAVE a VOTE!

Authorities reimposed a strict curfew in Srinagar and in most major towns yesterday.

Displaying their defiance, however, thousands of people staged marches across much of the region.

Most of the protests were peaceful, but clashes broke out in some places after security forces tried to block marchers who were violating curfew.

And there are ALWAYS some GOVERNMENT PLANTS to GET THINGS GOING!

In Srinagar, police fired warning shots and tear gas after hundreds of worshipers at the revered Dargah Hazratbal shrine refused to leave after noon prayers and shouted “Go India! Go back’’ and “We want freedom,’’ the police officer said. At least three people were wounded, he said.

And NO ONE in the WEST can HEAR THEM?
