It would appear that while Muslims despise all non-Muslims, they have a special hatred for Hindus. India and Pakistan – once a single country – have been hostile to one another ever since the partition that created Pakistan:

     The partition of India in 1947 was the division of British India[a] into two independent dominion states, the Union of India and Dominion of Pakistan. The Union of India is today the Republic of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh. The partition involved the division of two provinces, Bengal and the Punjab, based on district-wise Hindu or Muslim majorities. It also involved the division of the British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Navy, the Indian Civil Service, the railways, and the central treasury, between the two new dominions. The partition was set forth in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, or Crown rule in India. The two self-governing countries of India and Pakistan legally came into existence at midnight on 14–15 August 1947.

     The two nations have been at war with one another more often than not. Today, after a period of (relative) peace, they’re back at it:

     This is consequent to a major terrorist attack on India:

     Suspected militants opened fire in a popular tourist valley in the Indian-administered Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least 25 people and injuring 15 more in one of the worst attacks on civilians in recent years, according to government officials.
     At least two gunmen opened fire on tourists in Baisaran Valley, a scenic meadow nestled in the hills of Pahalgam about 55 miles south of the lake city of Srinagar, two police officials said. The mountainous region of Kashmir draws thousands of Indian visitors daily, particularly during the summer as people seek respite from the intense heat farther south.
     Police said that most of the dead were Indian tourists who had reached the remote valley on foot or horseback, and at least two of the dead were foreigners, according to government officials. The attackers fled immediately after the assault.
     “Needless to say, this attack is much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years,” the region’s chief minister, Omar Abdullah, wrote in a post on X.

     Islamic terror attacks on India have been many and vicious, as tabulated here. There have also been several outright wars between the two nations. That India has taken action against concentrations of terrorists in Pakistan is quite understandable. Pakistani authorities have adopted the time-honored tactic of Islamic terrorists everywhere, condemning India’s response as “heinous:”

     “Pakistan will respond to it at a time and place of its own choosing,” [military spokesperson Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry] said. “This heinous provocation will not go unanswered.”

     Among the Gentle Readers of Liberty’s Torch, many would endorse India’s action. Very few would condemn it. Yet among the endorsers are some that would condemn Israel’s identical action against the terrorism that repeatedly emanates from Gaza. That action was provoked by the slaughter of 1200 innocents, including many children, by an incursion from Gaza.

     I could understand (though I might not agree with) approving both actions, or neither. I cannot understand approving of one and condemning the other. Only the renascent hatred of Jews currently afflicting the First World would explain it.

     Food for thought.
