#1 Geelani = Gilani. His name pops up a lot in connexion with the Fuqra movement in the US. The DC sniper has some links to his organization.

#2 "India should allow a vote for self-determination,"

This idiot doesn't even understand the concept of self determination.

It doesn't mean independence or micro-nationalism.

Kasmiris have had self determination since 1947. They elect their own state government. They run their own affairs.

They elect their representatives to the Indian Federal parliament. Many Kashmiris have held posts such as Indian interior minister even Prime minister.

No law passed by the Indian parliament is legal in Jammu and Kashmir until that state legislature approves it. This includes taxes.

Imagine that... representation without taxation.

Kashmiris have the highest social indicators of any Indian citizen.. lowest child mortality, highest average income, calorie intake etc.

No non-Kashmiri Indian citizen may own land in Jammu and Kashmir. This is to protect the demographic status of the state, to prevent it being flooded by outsiders.

Imagine that..no immigration.

All these separatist leaders are alive because they have large security details paid for by the Indian government. Without the police protection, more extreme jihadis would have killed most of them.

They have no problem with Indian security forces when their own protection is the issue, only with the forces on the LOC facing Pakistan.
