Joe Biden offers full-throated support to India against China, Pakistan

Us Pakistani Americans always undergo witch-hunts by these people. After Bush came, crackdowns on Pakistanis in NYC got rid of 50% of our population. Then Obama came with Preet Bharara and NYC went after stalls, businesses, cracking down on Pakistani neighborhoods.

Alhamdulilah we had some respite during Trump, but only because others were being targeted.

I fear that with Biden, it will arise again.
You should expect this with anyone in power. It's American establishment policy to go against Muslims, and Indians have a little role in it. I just want someone in the US who can continue dividing the society (like how Modi has done) between black and white, Muslims and non Muslims, Indians and others, Maxicans and locals etc etc.

Muslims' situation is very bad in the US, brother. 25% of Muslim youth are leaving Islam and becoming atheist. Homosexuality and lesbianism in on the rise among us. NoI, Ahmadiyyas, Moorish Science are preying on vulnerable segments of ours like Blacks. CAIR and other MB organizations are pushing voting and becoming progressive, without any consideration for spirituality of Muslim populations. Then you have rampant feminism also.

Atleast, alhamdulilah we get some breathing room now that they are focusing on China.
 
.
Problem with Muslims of the US is that Democrats have pushed us too far liberal, and now we are completely at the mercy of Democrats.

Thank you CAIR and MB USA.

Should have been more cunning like the Jews... Fund both sides. But alas... Muslim advocacy groups or lobbyist groups have no $$$ to "buy" politicians...
 
. . .
Now that India has made its choices clear. Pakistan and China have two possible way forward:

- Sit quietly and get cut down like many others over the past decades by subversion and containment

- Go on offensive and launch a full scale hybrid warfare on the regional pawn and take it out of the equation

Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, will work with India in the Indo-Pacific to ensure no country, including China, “is able to threaten its neighbours with impunity” and will have “no tolerance” for cross-border terrorism in South Asia, if elected president, his campaign said in an expansive agenda released Friday for bilateral relations with India and the welfare of Indian Americans.

A Biden administration also will place a high priority” on bolstering ties with India, continue to strengthen India’s defence capabilities and bring the United States back into the Paris climate to work with India again to combat climate change, according to the agenda.

On immigration, which has been a major part of India-US relations, Biden will “preserve family unification as a core principle of our immigration system”, increase the number of visas offered for permanent, work-based immigration — Green Cards, overturning the Trump administration’s switch to a merit-based system.

His administration will also exempt from any cap recent graduates of PhD programs in STEM fields, eliminate country limit on Green Cards, which has created a 100-year-long backlog for Indias. He will support reforming the temporary visa system for high-skill — H-1Bs — to protect wages and workers and then their numbers.

The agenda was a first expansive plan released by any presidential campaign yet for aims and goals for relations with India and Indian Americas. And, thus, marked the importance being accorded to India. It was released just hours before a major outreach by senior members of the Biden campaign to the community.

On bilateral relations with India, the former vice-president will bring to the offie years of supporting India. As a senator, the agenda said, Biden had in 2006, said,“My dream is that in 2020, the two closest nations in the world will be India and the United States” In 2008, he led other Democrats to back the India -US civil nuclear deal. The Obama-Biden administration declared support for India’s claim to permanent membership of the UN Security Council and Declared India a major defence partner.

As president, the agenda said, “Biden believes there can be no tolerance for terrorism in South Asia – cross-border or otherwise”. The reference here was unmistakably to cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan, which had also been a sore point with the Obama administration.

On China, the Biden administration will ensure continuity. “A Biden Administration will also work with India to support a rules-based and stable Indo-Pacific region in which no country, including China, is able to threaten its neighbours with impunity.” There was no explicit mention of the border clashes but, once against, the sub-text was clear, aligning with growing bipartisan support for India in these clashes.

“Biden will deliver on his long-standing belief that India and the United States are natural partners, and a Biden Administration will place a high priority on continuing to strengthen the US-India relationship,” the agenda said, adding, “No common global challenge can be solved without India and the United States working as responsible partners.”

It added: “Together, we will continue strengthening India’s defense and capabilities as a counter-terrorism partner, improving health systems and pandemic response, and deepening cooperation in areas such as higher education, space exploration, and humanitarian relief.”

For the estimated 4 million Indian Americans, the Biden vowed adequate representation in the his administration if elected and pointed, as evidence, picking Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. “Our government will reflect the diversity of the United States, and Indian American voices will be included in shaping the policies that impact their communities,” said the agenda.

The Biden administration will address the rising incidents of hate crimes against “Indian Americans of all backgrounds -- Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Jain, and others -- (who) have been subjected to bullying and xenophobic attacks”. He will see a legislation to increase the punishment for certain hate crimes that occur in houses of worship and other religious community sites, such as gurdwaras, mandirs, temples, and mosques.

“We cannot leave our faith-based organizations to rely on donations and internal fundraising efforts to guard against deadly attacks. Biden will work with Congress to attain an immediate and substantial increase in direct security grant funding to faith-based organizations,” said the agenda.

The Biden administration will also work with congress to reform the immigration system and find a way to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, including 500,000 from India.

"Biden believes there can be no tolerance for terrorism in South Asia – cross-border or otherwise”

If he had meant Pakistan, he would have said Pakistan, American leaders do not feel shy about blaming Pakistan, even without proof.

He meant everyone including India, Afghanistan and Iran, everyone.

The article assumes what his foreign policy will be based on his 2006 views not what his foreign policy will be based on the 2020 reality.

Everything has changed now.

Trump had a strongman foreign policy and he couldn't stop China with it so what's Joe Biden going to do if he is unwilling to maintain that strongman foreign policy? Just compromise and compomise like Obama and Bush before him.

Muslims' situation is very bad in the US, brother. 25% of Muslim youth are leaving Islam and becoming atheist. Homosexuality and lesbianism in on the rise among us.

I find that very surprising, in the UK, Islamic/Muslim values are very strong.

I have a feeling you may be judging atheist category too harshly, how would you describe such a person. I for one am not religious at all, I won't go into details for now, but carry an extremely strong sense of my Muslim identity.

It might just be a case of perspective, how an outsider views a person vs how that person sees themselves.

Lol I remember how Indians celebrated Trump's victory.


Now repeating same, this dire need to be closer to west or loved by US or appreciated by whites is what has left India humiliated on several occasions.


Joe will protect its own interests, we know how Americans work.

Dear pdf, did I not say Biden+Kamala is a two headed snake that is worse than Trump by far? Someone actually said I was delusional for thinking this about the lovely innocent democrats. Well if I'm delusional, then the whole world must be my asylum.

A white man's pat on the back will get them to worship their feet.

He never named Pakistan because as far as we are concerned terrorism is emanating from India. You deluded fools can interpret it as you wish.
