1) all self proclaimed “activists ag Islamophobia” absorb lying and imagining history from jihadi toolkit: but this one pretends that Pakistan does not “occupy” parts of “Kashmir”. For him Pak is not occupier as it’s Islamist. But his history is as funny as Islamist chronicles.

2) if only he had stuck to gloating on US he cd hv got away with it, but he had to step into 19th c. France “ending” with 1903 and Vietnam in 1975. He carefully forgot end of illegal and military British occupation of many parts of the world including India in the same century.
3) in each of his itches ag US, he carefully forgets that unlike Brits, US didnt impose an US gov in Iraq, Vietnam, AFG. In each case it went in on invitation of a “native” gov against a regional adversary. It was NVietnam which mounted an invasion of an independent neighbour.
3) in Iraq, again US moved in on invitation of a “native” Islamic country. In all this talk of Islamic trauma, two things r carefully hidden : that US action was mil help to an Islamic power& Islamic countries r themselves fruits of violent foreign illegal military occupation.
5) legality of creation and recognition of countries in the 20th c wr all results of violent foreign military invasions and occupations as the power to create and dispose of territories wr obtained by war. Legality can’t be chosen at ones convenience.
6) if legality is based on results of military operations, then u can’t stop history only at the convenient point for Islamist occupation. The latest conquest will be legal. And future may reconquer territories from jihadi occupation and that too will be legal. Enjoy the sunset.
