Sept. 27 (UPI) -- In his address at the United Nations General Assembly Friday, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan warned of a potential "bloodbath" in Kashmir -- when the curfew is lifted and millions of Muslims clash with hundreds of thousands of Indian troops.
Speaking before the 74th General Debate, Khan accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being driven by a racial ideology to cleanse his country of members of the Islamic faith.
Modi stoked tensions last month when he stripped India-controlled territories Kashmir and Jammu of their decades of autonomy and placed the mostly Muslim residents under curfew, backed by hundreds of government troops. Thousands of residents were arrested and Modi's government restricted all communications.
Khan said Friday the curfew has likely left Muslims in Kashmir with nothing to do but get radicalized.
"What do you think the Muslims are thinking right now?" he asked. "If there is a bloodbath, there will be Muslims becoming radicals -- not because of Islam, but because they see there is no justice.
"You are forcing people into radicalization."
Khan added that anyone would take up arms in such a situation, a declaration that drew jeers from some in the Assembly crowd. RELATED 37 die, 500 injured in Pakistan earthquake
"There will be a reaction to this. Pakistan will be blamed," Khan added. "Two nuclear-armed countries will come face-to-face ... Before we head in that direction the United Nations has a responsibility. This is why the United Nations came to be in 1945. You were supposed to stop this from happening." Khan spoke further about Islamophobia, climate change and the siphoning of funds from developing nations. Modi, who spoke three slots ahead of Khan, didn't mention Kashmir at all -- but did condemn terrorism and urged the United Nations to unite against global terror.

"For the sake of humanity, I firmly believe that it is absolutely imperative that the world unites against terrorism and that the world stands as one against terrorism," he said.

After the partition of India and a rebellion in the western districts of the state, Pakistani tribal militias invaded Kashmir, leading the Hindu ruler of Jammu and Kashmir to join India[8] and starting the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947 which ended with a UN-mediated ceasefire along a line that was eventually named the Line of Control.[9][10] After further fighting in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Simla Agreement formally established the Line of Control between the two nations' controlled territories.[11][12] In 1999, armed conflict between India and Pakistan broke out again in the Kargil War over the Kargil district.
Since 1989, Kashmiri protest movements were created to voice Kashmir's disputes and grievances with the Indian government in the Indian-controlled Kashmir Valley,[14][15] with some Kashmiri separatists in armed conflict with the Indian government based on the demand for self-determination.

India and US forces in Afghanistan will seize or destroy Pakistan nukes if they become irrational. It will be a preemptive procedure.
Comforting thought, I only wish I could believe it.

Now I know who to root for, thanks.

Which U.N. troops do you suggest? If there were Muslim troops they likely would favor Pakistan. Since India is mostly Hindu that might leave a fly in the ointment. ;)

With all due respect, you do understand that Pakistan was allied with the US for the duration of the cold war, right? India was "non-aligned", which the Dulles brothers constantly assured us meant they were being fed mind-control radio waves straight from the Kremlin.
How things have changed...:)

USA! USA! USA! Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um

VN and Tibet were much more incursions than invasions.

HAHAHAAAA! You can always trust the US -- to act like the US.
During the events of 9-11-2001, those planes were controlled by the Flight Termination System which were installed in all commercial aircraft in the 1990s. That System can be activated in the event of a hijacking. It over rides the controls in the aircraft, sort of like flying a model airplane.
This System can be controlled by ground units from several hundred miles away. The pilots had no control over the airliners.
Some even say the planes were swapped out for others, and since the transponders were turned off there was no flight number on radar identification, just a blip that showed there was an aircraft there.
There is much that is still a mystery about it all.
And it is certain WTC 7 fell in its own footprint. That was a sure sign of a demolition. When the building fell, it pulverized the computer hard drives at the stock broker Smith Barney thus concealing the identities of whoever sold short the airline stocks of the companies involved in the events of the day. Someone made untold millions of dollars on that day, and we are not even looking at foreign stock exchanges. ;)
