SRINAGAR, India (AP) — From Western capitals to Muslim states, protest rallies over the Israel-Hamas war have made headlines. But one place known for its vocal pro-Palestinian stance has been conspicuously quiet: Indian-controlled Kashmir.Indian authorities have barred any solidarity protest in Muslim-majority Kashmir and asked Muslim preachers not to mention the conflict in their sermons, residents and religious leaders told The Associated Press.The restrictions are part of India's efforts to curb any form of protest that could turn into demands for ending New Delhi's rule in the disputed region. They also reflect a shift in India's foreign policy under populist Prime Minister Narendra Modi away from its long-held support for the Palestinians, analysts say.India has long walked a tightrope between the warring sides, with historically close ties to both. While India strongly condemned the Oct. 7 attack by the militant group Hamas and expressed solidarity with Israel, it urged that international humanitarian law be upheld in Gaza amid rising civilian deaths.But in Kashmir, being quiet is painful for many.“From the Muslim perspective, Palestine is very dear to us, and we essentially have to raise our voice against the oppression there. But we are forced to be silent,” said Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, a key resistance leader and a Muslim cleric. He said he has been put under house arrest each Friday since the start of the war and that Friday prayers have been disallowed at the region’s biggest mosque in Srinagar, the main city in Kashmir.Anti-India sentiment runs deep in the Himalayan region which is divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety. In 2019, New Delhi removed the region’s semiautonomy, drastically curbing any form of dissent, civil liberties and media freedoms.Kashmiris have long shown strong solidarity with the Palestinians and often staged large anti-Israel protests during previous fighting in Gaza. Those protests often turned into street clashes, with demands for an end of India’s rule and dozens of casualties.Modi, a staunch Hindu nationalist, was one of the first global leaders to swiftly express solidarity with Israel and call the Hamas attack “terrorism.” However, on Oct. 12, India’s foreign ministry issued a statement reiterating New Delhi’s position in support of establishing a “sovereign, independent and viable state of Palestine, living within secure and recognized borders, side by side at peace with Israel.”Two weeks later, India abstained during the United Nations General Assembly vote that called for a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, a departure from its usual voting record. New Delhi said the vote did not condemn the Oct. 7 assault by Hamas.“This is unusual,” said Michael Kugelman, director of the Wilson Center’s South Asia Institute.India “views Israel’s assault on Gaza as a counterterrorism operation meant to eliminate Hamas and not directly target Palestinian civilians, exactly the way Israel views the conflict,” Kugelman said. He added that from New Delhi's perspective, “such operations don’t pause for humanitarian truces.”India’s foreign minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, sought to justify India’s abstention.“It is not just a government view. If you ask any average Indian, terrorism is an issue which is very close to people’s heart, because very few countries and societies have suffered terrorism as much as we have,” he told a media event in New Delhi on Saturday.Even though Modi’s government has sent humanitarian assistance for Gaza's besieged residents, many observers viewed its ideological alignment with Israel as potentially rewarding at a time when the ruling party in New Delhi is preparing for multiple state elections this month and crucial national polls next year.The government's shift aligns with widespread support for Israel among India’s Hindu nationalists who form a core vote bank for Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party. It also resonates with the coverage by Indian TV channels of the war from Israel.

The reportage has been seen as largely in line with commentary used by Hindu nationalists on social media to stoke anti-Muslim sentiment that in the past helped the ascendance of Modi's party.Praveen Donthi, senior analyst with the International Crisis Group, said the war could have a domestic impact in India, unlike other global conflicts, due to its large Muslim population. India is home to some 200 million Muslims who make up the predominantly Hindu country’s largest minority group.“India's foreign policy and domestic politics come together in this issue," Donthi said. “New Delhi's pro-Israel shift gives a new reason to the country’s right-wing ecosystem that routinely targets Muslims.”India’s foreign policy has historically supported the Palestinian cause.In 1947, India voted against the United Nations resolution to create the state of Israel. It was the first non-Arab country to recognize the Palestinian Liberation Organization as the representative of the Palestinians in the 1970s, and it gave the group full diplomatic status in the 1980s.After the PLO began a dialogue with Israel, India finally established full diplomatic ties with Israel in 1992.Those ties widened into a security relationship after 1999, when India fought a limited war with Pakistan over Kashmir and Israel helped New Delhi with arms and ammunition. The relationship has grown steadily over the years, with Israel becoming India’s second largest arms supplier after Russia.After Modi won his first term in 2014, he became the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel in 2017. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, travelled to New Delhi the following year and called the relationship between New Delhi and Tel Aviv a “marriage made in heaven.”Weeks after Netanyahu’s visit, Modi visited the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, a first by an Indian prime minister, and held talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. “India hopes that Palestine soon becomes a sovereign and independent country in a peaceful atmosphere,” Modi said.Modi’s critics, however, now draw comparisons between his government and Israel’s, saying it has adopted certain measures, like demolishing homes and properties, as a form of “collective punishment” against minority Muslims.Even beyond Kashmir, Indian authorities have largely stopped protests expressing solidarity with Palestinians since the war began, claiming the need to maintain communal harmony and law and order.Some people have been briefly detained by police for taking part in pro-Palestinian protests even in states ruled by opposition parties. The only state where massive pro-Palestinian protests have taken place is southern Kerala, which is ruled by a leftist government.But in Kashmir, enforced silence is seen not only as violating freedom of expression but also as impinging on religious duty.Aga Syed Mohammad Hadi, a Kashmiri religious leader, was not able to lead the past three Friday prayers because he was under house arrest on those days. He said he had wanted to stage a protest rally against “the naked aggression of Israel." Authorities did not comment on such house arrests.“Police initially allowed us to condemn Israel’s atrocities inside the mosques. But last Friday they said even speaking (about Palestinians) inside the mosques is not allowed,” Hadi said. “They said we can only pray for Palestine — that too in Arabic, not in local Kashmiri language.”___Find more of AP’s Asia-Pacific coverage at https://apnews.com/hub/asia-pacific

Mirwaiz ‘disallowed’ to join Friday prayers at Srinagar’s Jamia Masjid

“I started for the Jamia Masjid around 12:40 p.m. All I intended to do was offer my namaz. However, policemen outside stopped me from leaving my residence. I told them that a statement on my release was made by a responsible person who heads J&K,” the Mirwaiz told The Hindu.

Throughout the siege & occupation of the Al Aqsa compound, Kashmiris have over & over again used social media to express solidarity with Palestinians. They understand the denial of religious freedom & desecration of Muslim holy sites because Indian occupying forces are engaged in the same aggression at Jamia Masjid in downtown Srinagar.

For the sixth consecutive week, Indian authorities have padlocked the premises to disallow congregational Friday prayers at the mosque. Denial of the right to worship is fundamental to the occupation & part of the international onslaught against Muslims. Standing with their right to religious freedom is part of the struggle against war, occupation, ethnic cleansing from Srinagar to East Jerusalem to Syria & Myanmar.

Public College Prayer: How God Lured Me to a Modest TexasTown

http://topicsofnote.com/?p=4932&utm_source=SocialAutoPoster&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Tumblr

To get started with, my youngsters presently lived in this article with their mother and stepfather. The varsity soccer crew, the Stephenville Yellow Jackets, was the winningest Texas football staff in the 90's and my sons, together with their stepfather, urged me to come and see these children enjoy. "They are phenomenal!" I was certain. I went to enjoy them play as they received the Texas Condition Championships in 98 and 99. They Were phenomenal! My youngest son played soccer at Stephenville Higher. His underclass groups received district and he played Varsity ball on a team that went to the Bi-District finals his Senior calendar year. This was more than enough to get me to criss-cross the large open up spaces of Texas from Arlington, chasing right after my son's soccer online games for four a long time, together with very a number of contests suitable in his dwelling city of Stephenville.

Activity by sport, the town was increasing on me.

Some unconventional factors had been taking place there that caught my interest from my condominium in Arlington. For starters, on a Christian radio clearly show I utilized to pay attention to, the host, Dawson McAllister, stated he would quickly be speaking at a rally in...in which else? Stephenville! Hmm. Intriguing. Turns out, my little ones attended that rally. I located out later, most EVERYBODY's young children attended.

A further going on that the Holy Spirit applied to lure my attention to Stephenville was the war versus prayer in the schools, significantly at sporting situations and graduations. The stories ended up on almost every nightly newscast. I seen through my temporary visits to town that there have been lots of kids sporting a vivid yellow t-shirt with the text "I Pray ahead of I Participate in" emblazoned boldly on the entrance. Subsequent are some items of articles I uncovered on the World wide web, the likes of which I appeared to be hearing routinely back again in the late 90's. They converse for on their own, portray an precise photograph of the local climate of those times:

"...the athletic subject is swiftly turning into a lifestyle war battle zone, as it did Friday night time at a match in Stephenville, Texas, over the problem of faculty prayer. Training boards and college principals throughout Texas are having difficulties with federal pointers on religious things to do, including the ban on formal school prayer. Before this year, the 5th U.S. Circuit Courtroom of Appeals dominated that some spiritual references have been permissible at university situations like graduation ceremonies, but ended up inappropriate -- not sufficiently sacred -- for the duration of other actions like athletic contests. Jurists ruled that the hootin' and hollerin' of a down-dwelling football standoff lacked the "singularly really serious mother nature" of other capabilities, these as a graduation celebration.

"That didn't cease a small group of 15 students on Friday evening, while, from smuggling a moveable community tackle system into a high college recreation in Stephenville, Texas, to lead supporters in general public prayer...

"One of the "prayer warrior" students at Friday night's video game explained to the Stephenville Empire-Tribune paper, "This was not about football, it was about God. We made the decision to pray for God (sic)." According to an Involved Press report, regional higher college superintendent Larry Butler stated that the impromptu prayer rally did not have support of authorities from the district. "With that currently being claimed," extra Butler, "I applaud them for carrying out something that they feel definitely strongly about. I assume the overall neighborhood of Stephenville thinks in college prayer."

"So far, there are no other experiences of spontaneous prayer outbreaks at weekend football games. Information accounts advise that most university district all over Texas are abiding by the Circuit Courtroom tips..."

FROM A different Report...

"A amount of "spontaneous" protest at soccer online games have taken put in Stephenville. Very last week, the Board of Trustees of the Stephenville Unbiased University District grappled with a coverage which would permit a pupil selected by well-known vote to deliver a pre-game "concept," supplied particular principles have been noticed. The nearby Empire-Tribune newspaper observed: "The rules are that the purpose of the information is to encourage good sportsmanship and pupil safety and to endorse the proper surroundings for the level of competition... The information could also be utilised to welcome or greet lovers and the opposing staff and/or to commend them for their achievements.

"When one board member mused that the new policy "would legally make an open up forum for a interval of time selected for the message and designate a location for the university student message," a further member noticed by way of the obfuscation. Referring to the 5th U.S. Circuit Courtroom determination disallowing pre-video game prayer, he advised fellow board customers: "This is the legislation currently whether or not we like it or not. Till this is cleared up, I personally think we go against the regulation if we let college student prayer, or any prayer, just before the sport..." "

Here's 1 Extra FROM '99...

Students Defy Federal Decide on Prayer at Large Faculty Game

Stephenville, TX - The August 27th soccer season opener for the Stephenville Large School Yellow Jackets was not only memorable for the lop-sided victory they had, but also for the braveness shown by the university student human body and the enthusiasts in the group. A district federal judge experienced issued a conclusion forbidding prayer at public school gatherings, even if initiated by college students. The college students of Stephenville Higher believe this is a violation of their constitutional proper to flexibility of religion. The pupil overall body not only usually takes pleasure in getting the defending 4A condition champions, but in training their constitutional rights.

Prior to the opening kickoff, one particular of the college students of Stephenville Significant grabbed a microphone and led a "spontaneous" prayer. Numerous students joined the younger gentleman on the sidelines, but what was even extra strong was the fact that not some, but all of the folks in the stands stood up, taken out their hats and joined in the prayer. Regional information stations were there to go over the video game and questioned the police and large faculty administrator as to what they planned to do about the "illegal" praying. There was no response from the police, but the substantial college administrator basically reported that no steps have been to be taken towards the learners. School officials also pointed out that because the college had not officially sanctioned the motion, it could not be held legally liable for what took place.

The federal judge, on listening to about the general public prayer, reported that the prayer was in violation of the constitutional separation of church and point out. Some supporters of the pupils pointed out that the Structure does not demand separation of church and state, but assures that there will be no laws created creating any formal faith or prohibiting the no cost work out of faith. Learners interviewed reported that they planned to pray publicly at their following recreation. A person factor that most area reports on the function unsuccessful to mention was that it was not just the Stephenville college students and supporters, but their soccer adversaries as properly that stood up to be counted. The Weatherford Superior College Kangaroos, and all their fans, honored the brave men and women that dared to problem the edict of a federal choose by standing with them for the duration of the prayer. With reporters scouring the group for an opposing watch, not 1 man or woman was located whom the prayer offended. Even now the choose finds this act illegal and irresponsible!

What happens heading forward from in this article is dependent on how identified the decide is to pressure his will on the folks, and how identified the citizens of Stephenville are to defend their constitutional rights. For a single night time at least, this was seen as a victory for Texans in the physical exercise of their rights. As for Weatherford High, it was the 1 bright location in a evening that resulted in a 34-7 reduction to the Yellow Jackets.

AND Another...

More Educational institutions Ignore Football PRAYER BAN

North of Dallas, Celina significant college football admirers prayed right before a soccer recreation with a Christian university. The apparently coordinated prayer by admirers, soccer gamers, cheerleaders, and band customers violates the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ban on faculty football prayers due to the fact soccer is not adequately solemn enough for God.

Rev. John Mark Arrington, pastor at Lighthouse Total Gospel Church in Garland dispersed 250 T-shirts with the slogan, "Celina Bobcats Pray In advance of They Play." Arrington want students to obey "God's legislation," which justifies the escalating revolt of evangelicals in opposition to the U.S. Structure.

In Stephenville, students introduced their very own sound program to soccer game titles and sent a religious concept applying the products. There was no report that college officers took any motion to stop it.

In Midland, scholar-led prayers at football online games nonetheless transpire. College officials explained the prayers would go on till anyone filed a lawsuit to make them halt.

FINALY, THIS FROM U.S. Information & Globe REPORT...

To pray--or not to pray" by Robert Bryce. U.S. Information & Earth Report, Sep 13, 1999 (Vol 127, No 10). Website page 26.

Joel Allen and Alan Ward, two Stephenville, Texas, large university learners,...refused to be denied the custom that surrounded their school's soccer video games. So to circumvent a federal court get barring use of a school's general public tackle procedure for prayer before superior college soccer video games, the two college students borrowed a little speaker process and led the group in prayer, considerably to the fans' delight.

The court ruling that influences Stephenville, Texas, handed down in February 1999, by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court docket of Appeals has revived a countrywide furor above the spot of prayer in general public faculty gatherings. The court's determination said that college student-led prayer in the course of graduation ceremonies is authorized, but prayer in the course of activities these types of as football games is not due to the fact they do not characterize a "solemn" sufficient celebration.

This hottest ruling is one particular of several conflicting federal conclusions on university prayer in the latest many years. In July 1999, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an Alabama college district could not ban scholar-initiated prayer at faculty pursuits, even when attendance of the celebration is required.

The Fifth Circuit Court's selection will most most likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Courtroom. In the meantime, some university districts in Louisiana and Texas say they will keep a minute of silence in lieu of prayer. Other individuals vow to disregard the ruling completely.

YOU GET THE Photograph.

I was fascinated, ready with baited breath for the following act of civil disobedience to come from the young children from this li'l ol' city in Texas I'd hardly ever listened to of right until my young children moved there.

Eventually, I turned quite ill and was confronted with a tough final decision. I experienced to leave Arlington, a location I would lived for 14 many years and a Church of which I was a Constitution Member and Assistant Pastor as effectively as a superior-shelling out position the place I held a prestigious situation. But I couldn't bend in excess of to load my dishwasher, wander a flight of stairs or carry groceries to and from my motor vehicle. I needed my children's assistance.

Stephenville, in this article I occur!

Crippled and in discomfort, obtaining a occupation was nearly unattainable. I came quite shut to submitting Medicaid papers and starting to be a ward of the condition. I couldn't convey myself to do it. Where God guides, He provides and He often despatched ravens to acquire care of my wants. My aged college roommate lived in Dublin just 12 minutes away. He directed a publishing corporation to speak to me as they desired an illustrator for a collection of kid's books. That occupation by yourself, a career I could do from my kitchen table or even from propped -up pillows, was adequate to aid me make ends fulfill. Amongst chapters, recipients of my weekly e mail Bible broadcasts would sometimes occur by way of with a love supplying.

I was living from wonder to wonder until eventually I acquired a phone from my previous school pal informing me that the community Chamber of Commerce was in need to have of a receptionist. I did not even know what a Chamber of Commerce truly did but I was emotion miraculously far better, nicely adequate to have utilized for perform at a nearby dairy reading through the ear tags on cows just the day prior to. Humorous, I can not recall a job job interview exactly where a future employer requested if I would head from time to time having "splattered with manure." (I replied that it sounded like my previous job. He did not chortle.) Any way, I went appropriate to The Chamber and I'll be there 5 years this July 7th. It's a fantastic task and the Lord has allowed me a lot of alternatives to tap into the non secular roots of the group from my situation.

UNITY IN THE Local community

At the Chamber, I've been privileged to get the job done for and with superb Christian individuals. Several several years back, one woman I worked with experienced the idea of putting on an party that would give teens some thing to do following college ended in could. as we brainstormed, the celebration developed into "The Intense Issue." In no time, other church users and ministers jumped on board. In the end, we had 29 churches concerned, 9 bands, bouncy toys, structured online games, 1,000 attendees and quite a few ministers. The function was shut by a fantastic Church of Christ choir and their pastor. It was wonderful!

In 2002 and 2003, I structured a July 4th parade entry which I referred to as "The Declaration of Dependence." I designed a T-shirt and matching banner and about 50 Christians suited up and took portion. The next calendar year, over 150 Christians took aspect from 11 distinctive church buildings - such as Hispanic Church buildings. We had the largest entry in the parade that 12 months.

A person day, a man from the Assembly of God Church took me to lunch. He experienced an concept for a door to door prayer ministry he termed "Operation Jesus." I designed a brand for a T-shirt and, in the earlier two years, hundreds of contributors have prayed for pretty much just about every dwelling place in town. We are about to start over and the numbers of taking part churches is raising each and every time we go out.

A younger Youth Minister from the Disciples of Christ experienced the eyesight to organize an party he identified as "The Unity Conference." In the conclusion, hundreds of believers attended from different denominations to pay attention to seven different ministers converse on a variety of topics and worship alongside one another in song with numerous church worship teams. I was honored to have been a person of these who ministered. Just a handful of months back, I truly preached the Sunday morning companies in that exact church on two consecutive Sundays.

My individual ministry has expanded to include things like prospects to speak at the large faculty and the area faculty the place I recently participated in a panel dialogue on homosexuality in a grad level counseling/psych course. Past Sunday, I completed my 6th and remaining week of educating at the To start with United Methodist Church. I've been invited back again. The Pastor known as me at work just now to thank me for "sharing my present" with his congregation. Awesome male.

The pastor from the community Cowboy Church - a Baptist group that has blossomed to 500 associates in its 1st calendar year - has questioned that I arrive and educate the Cowboys about the cults. Although I am not Baptist, I have taught far too several instances to depend at the Sunday meetings of the neighborhood Baptist Ministry. I go to a weekly property church conference that involves numerous Pentecostals, some Baptists and a pair of Catholics. We have prayed with each other and ministered to other folks and have noticed miracles and non secular items in operation.

Jesus prayed that we would be a single as He and the Father are one. Unity instructions a Heavenly blessing.

Which is MY Tale...

That is how I bought to town and what God's demonstrated me in the suggest time. Has it been devoid of its trials? Barely. Apart from loathe mail by means of my laptop or computer, I when frequented a female in the county jail and even helped set up her release. She later accused me of a criminal offense and filed a restraining order from me. Not only did that situation hardly ever make it to trial, but that woman has been despatched to the point out jail for a different crime. On best of that, there have been a couple of individuals who would not allow for their young ones to sit beneath my educating mainly because they learned I've been divorced. At the very least no one's capturing.

Oh, one final bit of good news is this: I moved to a cabin in the woods and, when I met my amazing wife, Barbara, we not only moved in this article and really like it, but we acquired a Victorian property in town that my mothers and fathers moved into from Las Cruces, New Mexico and are managing as a rooming household. We call it Vanderbilt Spot. Barb is a registered nurse and got a work at the medical center found just 2 blocks from my downtown business at The Chamber. I see all 4 of my kids, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren routinely. I can remember the times that I was often so all by yourself and sickly.

I am not positive what it is the Lord is carrying out right here in this fantastic small town but, realizing Him, I know it is really gonna be terrific! I encourage any one looking at this now to improve where by you might be planted, no matter of situation. I've uncovered that anything at all we can see with human eyes is issue to improve. Even at my sickest, I was mailing Christian Gospel tracts to Center Eastern-sounding names from the cellphone e-book on the possibility the recipients could possibly be Muslim. I built it to the letter "J" as I remember. My stamp-licking tongue wasn't broken, after all. Later on, a dear good friend gave me a superior utilized pc and my e mail ministry was on its way. I Nonetheless only type with 1 finger (40 wpm, not bad, huh?).

Now, scroll down and Forward the message. Level it if you like.
