Solidarity with Kashmir

Today, 5th February, is Kashmir Solidarity Day.

India took the case of Kashmir to the UN in 1948, where it was ecided that Kashmiris have the right of self-determination. India agreed to this, but has denied them this right ever since. ANy demands of Kashmiris is brutally put down - murders, rapes, mutilations, disappearances, are the methods the Indian Army and Border Security Force, apply regularly.

The US, and other powers aren't bothered, because the Kashmiris are predominantly Muslim.

Muslims shold rely on Allah alone, and help their brethren/sisters wherever they are suppressed.

We are with the Kashmiris.

A new world?

I have not commented on protests in this blog. That does not mean I do not care, or that I am afraid. No, I am very much with the protesters - those who want freedom from tyranny, oppression.

I simply pray for their success. There is little I can do from here, at my age, and with my (ill)health.

There is also the knowledge that protests in the past have not delivered the people from tyranny. Instead, after a while, the old tyrannical faces are replaced by new figureheads. In many cases, the actual torturers retain the same faces.

My prayers are with the common people in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, ..., everywhere.

May Allah bring humanty to deliverance.
