Islam rejects false western concept of nationhood!

Following some links on your site, I reached the Minnesota Islamic Society (or something to that effect), of majority Pakistanis, which extols one Maududi as a towering ideologue of the 20th century, way above Ayatollah Khomeini! (His biography on the same website mentions that he died in Buffalo, but was ceremoniously interred (in an unmarked grave) in Lahore.

Among his significant teachings: a) A Muslim must not expose another before non-Muslims. b) The idea of the Nation State is rejected by Islam as a product of the decadent west. Muslims must adhere to the notion of Pan-Islamism above all!

This is what they are teaching their youngsters in the US! So much for the British policy-makers who hope that Soccer clubs for Muslim youth will lead them to integrate themselves better in British multicultural society.

Interesting that many of these Islamic websites have 'fatwa' pages, like agony aunt columns, which help spread the fundamentalist Islamic dictat on social conventions among the Islamic youth born in western countries, instead of encouraging them to align with local mores!

Like Mohammad, who preached tolerance when his forces were weak, and ultimate violence when strong, the Islamists are at best speaking with a forked tongue, saying how Islam does not condone violence against the innocent (in the context of the London blasts) while at the same time actively supporting terrorists under the false premise of Islamic victimhood!

Those who shed crocodile tears over Kashmir, fail to mention what they have done for the uplift of Kashmiris in Pak Occupied Kashmir, apart from developing terrorist camps and drug smugglers there. They fail to mention that Kashmir is a legitimate democratic Indian State which has had several free and fair elections to date, and is currently under the firm control of the elected government of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. This, despite the worst efforts of Pakistan-backed terrorists who have tried to prevent the democratically elected government from functioning.

The other issue which has escaped attention in the West is the ethnic cleansing (by the Pak-backed terrorists) of the Hindu Pandit community from Kashmir, currently living in refugee camps in other parts of India. Lastly, the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, continues to be a secular Indian state with a Muslim majority increasingly disaffected with the Islamists, and it also has significantly large minority groups of Hindus (in Jammu) and Buddhists (in Ladakh). Pakistan has tried for more than the last 60 years (Kashmir has been a part of India from the very beginning of time) to create a mirror-image of its own corrupt and violent ideology in Kashmir, but has miserably failed. It was once eulogised as paradise on earth, before the inhuman wave of imported terrorism destroyed its socioeconomic fabric. Now it is the sole ideological symbol negatively uniting the corrupt Islamo-fascist state of Pakistan, running on the batteries of hatred it imports to societies all over the world in the name of Islam (with Saudi funding and zakat collected from all Muslims in the world for funding its terrorism)!
