IIRC, Kashmir was supposed to go to Pakistan because it has a Muslim majority. However, the raja was Hindi, so he asked India to intervene.

The ultimate blame falls on the courtries' leaders who in over five decades have not come up with a polical solution to the problem.



A nuclear war between India and Pakistan would be the greatest disaster in the history of the world. Millions would die in the initial exchange, but the eco-disaster which would follow would dwarf those initial losses.

IW, the province of khasmir was Muslim. Not Hindu... India really had no business occupying it. No matter what there leader said. The british were stupid enough to listen.

I (and my muslim friends) dislike Islam

how can muslims dislike the Islam?

Not all of India was under the direct control of Britain. Quite of bit of it was under the rule of the Rajhs. Britain had no place in telling those countries to which other country they would belong.

Her parents force it one her - she's bi and hates the homophobia, oppression of women, etc.

And I agree with her. I'm not a hige fan of any religion, but Islam seems to be the worst of the main ones.

I'm actually on neither side in ME discussions, both are in the wrong.

Of course it's a blame game. Just like the Israeli/Palestinian mess.

Both sides point at each other and scream "he started it!"

Because Israel's as democratic as South Africa was under Apartheid, i.e., not very.

And because Arafat was democratically elected, and fairly.
