    Militant supporters urge Pakistan government not to create hurdles for Kashmir jihad.

    “As long as Jammu and Kashmir is under Indian subjugation, jihad must continue… Pakistan should continue political, diplomatic and moral support for the Kashmiris seeking freedom.

    If Pakistani rulers cannot help Kashmiris, they should let the field open for the Kashmiri militants, instead of creating any obstacles in their way,” said a declaration adopted at the “Solidarity with Kashmir” conference.

    Problem here is that the Kashmir liberation movement is only tangentially about Kashmir anymore since it’s been assimilated into the global-caliphate-seeking borg. For example, Lashkar-e-Taiba’s “director of transnational operations” running terrorist operations in Australia, Denmark and elsewhere to address concerns that have zero relation to Kashmir.

    And a separate but related point: the Indians have no reason to come to the negotiating table and sue for peace since elements of the militant movement have made it abundantly clear that they won’t rest until all 150 million Muslims in India are ‘liberated,’ and other extremists go still further and speak of the glory days when large parts of the subcontinent and its vast non-Muslim populations were under Muslim rule…in short, the Kashmir separatists can’t deliver a peace dividend, so why should India bother with them?

    Hizb ut-Tahrir holds first-ever conference in the US yesterday at the Hilton in Oak Lawn, Ill.

    Who is Hizb ut-Tahrir?

    The CBS News article about the conference and Wikipedia agreed on one major point and differed on another. Both agree that Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks the establishment of a global caliphate to unite the Ummah under one Amir to “establish the laws of the Islamic Shariah and to carry the Da’wah of Islam to the world.”

    Both articles also agree that the organization rejects terrorism. Wikipedia says that Hizb ut-Tahrir does not engage in charitable or social service projects or campaigns, but instead:

    its focus is on “ideological struggle” to establish its vision of the caliphate in the minds of Muslims.

    Where they differ is in a description of the means Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks to reach the end of a global caliphate.
