Butchery in Mughalistan
26th April 2025
Last Tuesday a group of mujahideen acting as proxies for Lashkar-e-Taiba massacred at least 27 people and wounded a number of others at the Pahalgam resort in the Indian portion of Kashmir. Pahalgam is just to the east of Srinagar, and is only about 35 miles (55 km) from the Line of Control that separates the Pakistani and Indian portions of Kashmir.
Urdu and Hindi are closely related languages, and Pakistanis are not ethnically distinct from Indian Hindus. Therefore the victims of the terrorists had to be given a religious test to make sure they were valid targets for the jihad. If they couldn’t prove they were Muslims, they were shot.
The modus operandi of the terrorists in Pahalgam is similar the one used by Al-Shabab in the Westgate Shopping Mall massacre in Nairobi in September of 2013. Victims at Pahalgam were reportedly required to recite the “kalma” if they wanted their lives to be spared. The kalmasare a set of six attestations of the Islamic faith; a shortened version of the Second Kalma is commonly called the Shahada (La illaha ila Allah, wa Muhammadun rasul Allah), and is probably the recitation demanded by the terrorists in Pahalgam.
