Re: Tamil Tigers claim second air raid
you are expecting to match specifics like Umma and the afterlife which have very different concepts in Hinduism.
I distinguished between Islamic and Muslim forces, Islamic must be motivated by some aspect of Islam, whereas a force can be a Muslim force simply by composition. Turkey is widely regarded as a Muslim country for example.
With that connotation, Hindu terrorists is a correct term, even if not flattering and motivated obviously by a desire to associate Hinduism with terrorist. Whether or not that association sticks ofcourse is where all your justifications come in. I as moderator responded to the "off-topic" bit by one of the posters and merely clarified that Hindu terrorist isnt strictly an incorrect term based on the fact that most of the people fighting and blowng themselves up for the LTTE are Hindus.
Isnt it true that LTTE are or used to be suppoted by India? Is it a coincidence in your opinion that India is also a Hindu majority state?
LTTE has NO credible government support from India.
By credible government support, I mean providing them Arms, Training etc. like Pakitsan does in case of Kashmiri terrorists.
You might be knowing that Rajiv Gandhi the late Indian prime minister sent troops to help Sri Lankan Sinhalese government to suppress the Tamil rebels, and this became the ultimate reason for Rajiv Gandhi's assassination by LTTE.
In fact, India maintains a very cordial relation with Sinhalese majority government of Sri Lanka.
I am suprised such conspiracy theories are coming from Pakistani side when in fact that very Sri Lankan government has never said that India plays any role in LTTE.
In fact Sri Lankan government has requested India several times to act as a mediator between them and Tamils, but since India has already burnt it's fingers once..it wants to keep a safe distance from this conflict.
Not only Sri Lankan government, not a single country in the world has said that India plays some 'dirty' role in Tamil conflict.....this will be something new if Pakistan, now chooses to accuse India for this.
yess, it's true normally people from Tamilnadu have sympathy towards LTTE and a few politicians like Ravindra Vaiko has openly given statements in support of LTTE, but one should understand that such emotional supports are normally anticipated due to common ethnicity and Tamil language....this has nothing to do with Hindu India as you accused.
Further it's disgusting that Pakistan is trying to test the patience of India by meddling in this Sri Lankan affair. This may make the current Indo-Pak relations from worse to worst...as Sri Lankan government due to lack of support from USA and EU desperately needs military assistance from any country let alone it be Pakistan.
I really wonder what importance Sri Lankan Sinhalese carry to Pakistan given that both countries are seperated by thousands of kilometers with nothing in common( nor even islam).
I think it's a desperate attempt by Pakistan to further complicate the situtaion for India in Sri Lanka, by arming Sri Lankan Sinhalese military.
