Germanys Air Defence System Deal With Pakistan Exposes Wests Double Standard On Terrorism
A recent report has sparked controversy over Germany's deal to supply Pakistan with IRIS-T air defence systems. This move contradicts Germany's earlier stance on terrorism, where it acknowledged India's right to self-defence after the Pulwama attack.
The IRIS-T system can detect and destroy aerial targets within a range of 12-80 km, with missiles travelling at Mach 3 speed. Pakistan's interest in this system stems from its performance in the Ukraine war, where it successfully intercepted supersonic missiles.

Analysts believe Pakistan aims to counter India's BrahMos missile capabilities with the IRIS-T system. This development raises questions about Germany's double standards, as it has previously fought terrorism in Syria but now supplies arms to a country known for harbouring terrorist groups.
In 2009, Germany lifted its arms embargo on Pakistan, allowing the sale of military equipment like pistols, small rockets, and radar devices. However, after the Pulwama attack, Germany seems to have found a new business partner in Pakistan.
This arms deal has sparked concerns about Germany's priorities and its stance on terrorism. As the international community watches, Germany's actions appear to be driven more by business interests than a commitment to combating terrorism.

Are Muslims A Threat To Japan? Surge In Population Altering...Protest Erupt Over...Identity Crisis Looms...
In Indian culture, guests are considered deities. In Japan, the word Omotenashi is used for guests, meaning to welcome them with warmth and respect. However, in Japan today, public anger against Muslims, particularly Kurdish immigrants, is evident on the streets. This means a major campaign against Muslims is currently underway in Japan. The images you're seeing are from Japan's Saitama Prefecture. Thousands of people, carrying Japanese flags, have taken to the streets against Kurds. We want to clarify that Kurds are not native to Japan; they are people from Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, mostly Sunni Muslims. When persecution against Kurds increased in these countries, Japan showed humanitarianism by granting them visa exemptions. Following this, the Kurdish population in Kawaguchi and Warabi in Southern Saitama continuously grew. The Kawaguchi and Warabi areas effectively became a "mini-Kurdistan." As the population grew, the fear of Kurds in these areas also increased, leading peace-loving native Japanese people to take to the streets to protect their homeland. Protests demanding the expulsion of Sunni Kurds from Japan have been ongoing since 2023, fueled by years of pent-up anger.

In January 2024, some Kurdish individuals were accused of sexually assaulting a Japanese woman. One suspect in this case was later accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In September 2024, an unlicensed Kurdish driver ran over and killed two Japanese motorcyclists. In 2023, 69 Kurds were arrested in Japan for criminal offenses, representing 6% of all foreigners arrested for crimes. This means 6 out of every 100 criminals were found to be Kurdish. The increasing involvement of Kurds in crime has exhausted the patience of Japanese people, leading to calls for their expulsion from Japan. The root of native Japanese anger is not just crime, but also an anxiety about preserving their cultural identity. In 2005, the Muslim population in Japan was 110,000. By 2023, the Muslim population had grown to 350,000. In 18 years, the Muslim population in Japan has tripled. We also want to mention that about 48% of Japan's population follows Shintoism, which is Japan's indigenous religion. Around 46% follow Buddhism, and the remaining 5% follow other religions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism. Although the number of Muslims in Japan's total population is small, the rapid growth of the Muslim population has increased concerns among native Japanese about their culture.

Himachal vegetable seller arrested for sedition after he shares ‘anti-national post' on Indian Army's strikes in Pakistan
The Himachal Pradesh Police arrested a vegetable seller in Paonta Sahib, Sirmaur district Sunday on charges of sedition for allegedly posting anti-national content on his Facebook account following the air strikes in Pakistan. A case has been registered against Suleman Khan, 45, a native of Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh, under section 152 (sedition) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Paonta Sahib police station. On Monday, Khan was sent to four days' police custody. The police said he has been residing in Ward Badripur, Paonta Sahib, for the last 15 years. According to officers, Khan's antecedents are being verified, and his mobile phone has been seized for forensic examination. Manvinder Thakur, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Paonta Sahib, said, 'A delegation of local residents filed a police complaint against Suleman Khan. The delegation submitted a printout of one of the posts shared by the accused, in which he criticised the Indian military action against Pakistan following the Pulwama terrorist attack. We found that the post had been deleted a few days ago. In the deleted post, the suspect had also praised Pakistan. The matter is under investigation.' According to the First Information Report (FIR), 'Khan indulged in anti-national activities by criticising India's military response to Pakistan following the Pulwama terrorist attack. He also made derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister of India and posted the slogan 'Pakistan Zindabad' on his Facebook account.' Members of the delegation that lodged the complaint include Abhishek Verma, Amarjeet Singh, Kapil Sharma, and Vinod Kaushik. In the last week of May, the Himachal Pradesh Police arrested a 21-year-old man from Kangra for allegedly keeping 'sensitive and objectionable material' on his phone, and being in touch with individuals in Pakistan through online platforms. After the arrest, Mayank Chaudhary, Superintendent of Police (SP) Dehra, told The Indian Express, 'Indeed, sensitive and objectionable material was found on the suspect's mobile phone, which could endanger the sovereignty of the country. However, we have not yet found any conclusive evidence that he was directly involved in acts of spying'.
