Hizb offers truce during Ramazan
2006-09-21
The biggest militant group fighting Indian rule in held Kashmir on Wednesday offered a conditional cease-fire during Ramadan, which is set to begin next week.

Ehsan Elahi, chief spokesman for the Hizb-ul Mujahedeen group, said the limited cease-fire depended on Indian troop reductions on its side of the Line of Control. "If the Indian government agrees to scale down troop presence, stop human rights violations and release all political prisoners, we will also consider a cease-fire in attacks against them during Ramadan," Elahi told The Associated Press.

#4  Yes Bobby, but as the Indians were satellites of the Soviets for quite some time, they'll know all about that style of 'negotiating'.

Feh! - strike 'em hard all during Ramadan, and then take a few days off afterwards. That'll mess with their minds a bit...

The pony, fer crimeny sakes, they left out the pony! Have Muslims ever shown the least respect for Hindu or Jewish holidays? I'm confident they regard them as nothing more than target rich intervals. Screw these maggots and the turd they rode in on. Catch them while they're hungry and low blood sugar is interfering with their aim judgement and endurance.

#1  Translation: If we get everything we want, we'll think about giving you something.

Soviet-style negotiating.
