Burn 14 houses

"The protesters also burnt 14 houses in Khour area of the border tehsil of Akhnoor."?

So much for hue and cry on violence. What is the difference between these protesters and the militants? Both resort to violence when their demands are not met. Anyone stooping down to non-constitutional means should be dealt with Iron hand.

I probably wasn't even born when the alleged Hindu cleansing took place in Kashmir. But clinging on to history is not going to work.

Can someone claim that India was ruled by Muslims for hundreds of years and the land should be returned to Muslims? If you think Muslims forcefully convert people of other religion, then you wouldn't have found any non-Muslim worker in Middle East. Don't paint everyone with same brush.

Now, for the present facts:

"Jammu, Aug 01: At least two rioters were killed and eight injured in police firing in Samba district on Friday where they set two houses of the members of Muslim community and 15 hutments of Gujjars ablaze. The condition of two of the injured is stated to be critical. The rioters also tried to attack the District Development Commissioner’s residence, attacked Peoples Democratic Party office at Gandhi Nagar and clashed with police outside Raj Bhavan here, officials and reports said."

Hindus burned down places in majority Muslim community setting two people ablaze. Imagine what happened when Minority community allegedly attack majority recently. The very reason that there wasn't any retaliation shows the tolerance of the people of Kashmir. Don't you agree?
