If Israel vs Palestine dispute is perceived to be Jews vs Muslims dispute then why is the Pakistan vs india enmity not seen in hindu vs muslim terms??
What are your views on this issue
Many Muslim Arabs think of the Pakistan v. India issue as one of a minority foreign Muslim invader taking over Hindu lands with Hindu majorities. They regard this as the same as a minority foreign Jewish invader taking over Arab lands. I am not going to comment on whether this view is right or not. Just pointing out this is their view.
As far as the Jewish population of Israel is concerned, half of them came from Europe. However, more than 80% of European Jews still retain Middle/ Near Eastern paternal ancestry. So, it would not be fair to say the majority of them have European paternal ancestry.
As far as the Muslims of India and Pakistan are concerned, most of them are Hindu converts not descendants of foreigners, Muslim or otherwise. The only exception are the Shia of Northern India, specifically, Uttar Pradesh, who have a significant percentage of Iranian/ Central Asian paternal ancestry.

LOL have you met every single Arab and asked their opinion on the matter? Arabs like Punjabis or Pashtuns are not a monolithic group, each one is different, you get liberals, conservatives, religious, secular etc.
Muslim missionary Saints from the West and Central Asia came to South-Asia before the invaders..
You are right that South-Asian Muslims are mostly of South-Asian descent that's why there land has always belonged to them..
Shame India is settling Hindus in occupied Kashmir to change the demographs.
PS. It doesn't make any difference to Muslims whether they be descended from Arab-Pagans or Hindu-Pagans because Alhhamdulillaah we're Muslim now and forever just as our first ancestors were..

First of all, I said "many" not "all" Arabs, which means not every single Arab, necessarily thinks this. In addition, I feel there is a difference between how we treat Israelis in Pakistan (because of the Palestinian issue) and how Arabs treat Indian Hindus in Arab countries (regardless of the Kashimiri issue).
