With most of the Western hemisphere on holiday, another crisis appears to be developing on the India–Pakistan border known as the Line of Control (LoC). The incident started on Saturday, where at least four Indian soldiers were killed, in an exchange of fire with the Pakistani Army on the Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir, ABC News reported.
The two sides reportedly exchanged heavy fire in the Keri sector of the Rajouri district, about 222 km southwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The skirmish started when Pakistani troops used automatic weapons, small arms, and mortars to attack Indian positions in Shahpur area of J&K’s Poonch district. The Indian army said Pakistani soldiers violated the 2003 cease-fire, calling the attack an “unprovoked cease-fire violation.”

The Indian army must pay very well if all the soldiers were in kashmir.
Better call Debbie W. and Xavier Becerra.... see if this scenario is on their hard drives.
On a side note, if you every get a scam call from India, just ask the person if he is Pakistani because he sounds like one. They will cuss you out and hang up.
The Muslim craves mass murder and rape.
Don’t let the Sikhs find out.
I'm thinking the Persian Gulf is to shallow for submarines.
The Persian Gulf completely dried up during the Ice Age.
What are the following:
1. Major population cities in Pakistan
2. Nuke yield of indias arsenal
3. Number of warheads and their yields.
There are 189 million Muslims in India, 47% of the population.
(I was surprised when I learned that)

Worked for me when I called one a goat humping paki.
Indians need to improve their marksmanship
Another Tom Clancy book becomes real life.
“There are 189 million Muslims in India, 47% of the population.”
47% would be about half a billion.
Wars and rumors of wars as we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. Soon He will come as conquering Lord instead of tiny baby....
Where on Earth did you get the figure that Muslims account for 47% of India’s population? There’s over a billion people in India. (The site you linked says it’s 14.6%.)
There probably aren’t very many targets in Pakistan ‘worthy’ of a nuke. Suffice it to say, India has them covered.
Good question - Iran is huge - I remember Bandar Abbas is really far south. I’ll have to take a look at the map again.
The sheer size of Iran was a surprise first time I looked at it.
From the article I linked. Did I misread it?
Muslims in India - With over 172 million followers (2011), Islam is the second-largest religion in India after Hinduism. Muslims are the second largest community after Hindus forming 14.6% of the total population in Republic of India. Although history of Islam religion in India dates back to 12th century, the nation is currently home to over 10% of the world’s Muslim population. After Indonesia and Pakistan, India is home to third largest Muslim population in the world. Muslims or people following Islam are significantly present in large numbers all over India. Almost half of Indian Muslims (47%) lives in 3 states of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar. Muslims forms an important part of religious population in India as it’s the second largest community after Hindus. Hindus and Muslims together form an integral part of vibrant Indian culture.
Okay. I figured it out. 47% of the Muslims that live in India live in.......
China will NOT directly start the next world war. It will be either North Korea (especially if China continues to back them) or Pakistan (especially if China continues to back them).
I've seen the GDP of Iran compared to the GDP of Alabama. Alabama has less than 5 million people.
