(1,150 posts)Since you're talking about India and Kashmir, have you ever heard of East Pakistan?
Considering how pathetically you cherry-pick for information supporting your absurd claims, I expect that this will be a mystery to you. Of course, you'll do a bit of search-engine research in order to provide a retort.
East Pakistan does not exist. It was, once upon a time, a part of Pakistan, with a massive Muslim majority population. However, its mostly Bengali ethnicity, speaking the Bengali language, was neglected, then severely repressed, by the heavily Punjabi Pakistani government.
In 1971, East Pakistan went to war with Pakistan proper, in complete alliance with Hindu-majority India. Thus was born the Muslim-majority modern nation of Bangladesh.
My response is entirely responsive to your points concerning the never-ending conflict in Kashmir. It's a disputed territory, the likes of which can be found around the world. The religious makeup of the (shifting with the ebb and flow of the conflict) population has almost nothing to do with the conflict, other than to enable both governments to whip up recruits to serve as fodder.
Finally, do you suppose anyone in the world feels severely threatened by the massive constant export of American culture around the world? Do you consider American culture to be superior to 'Islamic' culture? Does the United States ever seek to impose (you say 'enforce,' which is logically incorrect) its way of life on others? Has Germany ever done so? Indeed, has any Muslim-majority country ever killed by terrorism anywhere near the number that Germany has, in any such effort? (The Ottoman Empire/Turkey worked pretty hard at it during WWI, but the scale is nowhere near Germany's).
How legitimate, comparatively, would Muslim-majority countries' concerns be regarding 'Americanization' of their cultures, compared to some imagined 'Islamization' of some European countries?
Well, I know you will only think about these things in order to come up with more nonsense to support your absurd position, but perhaps, someday, you might just approach something vaguely approaching wisdom. That's why I responded to you. Maybe, someday. But I doubt it.
