I got dinged a bunch of “points” because of the below excerpt I wrote. If you go to the PA forum, there are a bunch of people posted views of hate, views of support for terrorist groups, language that is utterly inappropriate. I see people getting their comments edited all the time, and they’re still freely posting. The below excerpt has my viewpoints, none of which are anything I’d be ashamed for being thrown in prison for, and yet the free speech tolerance here is so low? I doubt it, especially with jihadi supporters posting freely here. Iconoclast is known for his conservative viewpoints (check all this past posts in religion and pa), and he has also gotten in numerous arguments with me as well (check past threads as well), and it is clear that this is nothing more than abuse of powers. I hope that moderators try to excercise a more balanced and objective use of their powers, as was done some time ago, and is still done in some forums. PA forum is a provocative one to begin with, and it is indeed hard to manage, but as I have not attacked any personal guppies or posted any personal offensive statements, there need not be such a reaction towards my posts. Meanwhile, people like Real Deal have been wandering into every post I make lately on PA with personal jibes in which their post is completely non-contributory. I have filed in a few post citations even, and nothing was done about their posts?
So anyone with a conservative agenda is free to write their viewpoints as they wish?

Regardless of what happened or didn’t happen, I don’t give a crap. At this point, this whole situation is costing the entire region way too many lives, and way too many people delusions about jihad and shahadat and 72 virgins, to the point that the lives of common Pakistani families are being destroyed when their kids get recruited to join organizations that are now flipping out and backstabbing the Pakistani people and also spreading false messages of what Islam is all about. If Kashmir is at the root of all the problems on the subcontinent, even if its a fueling factor, the only way for peace is to resolve Kashmir. Scrap all the old crap, sit down, get the two countries and their militaries and militias and guerrillas out of the Kashmir/Jammu region, hold a fair election, and give them what they frikkin want. Anyone who doesn’t get their way is free to pick up their bags and move to whatever country they want.
Of course, people here will come up with a bunch of counterarguments, but its all bullcrap in the end. At the end of the day, its really boiling down to land and old pride which neither country can set aside. Fine, the British played Pakistan and that was unfair, and we can boohoo all we want about how its always us muslims who get victimized, but the last time I checked, we weren’t being all that wise about coping with our global problems either. There really isn’t anything holding anyone back from peace in Kashmir except the egos of two governments more than anything else. And who suffers? The people stuck in between. Don’t lay sole blame on the Indians. We’ve made life hell for Kashmiris with our Jihadi crap that’s infiltrated their lands. Its not fair to have a family in Kashmir knowing that your kids will grow up to take up arms for a living, to defend an age old war that two governments don’t have the brains to just sit down and settle. Same crap problem in Israel and Gaza/West Bank - it boils down to resources and land. If I control this area, I have more power, and I will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means annhiliting an entire population to get it.
Kashmirs. The poor Kashmiris. Rich how Pakistanis feel so bad about them, and I post an ****video of life being complete morbid sick hell in Swat and no one sheds a friggin tear for the people of Swat and those people are muslim too AND they fall under the jurisprudence of your national boundaries.
I sense a lotta hostility here.
