Vatican deplores 'senseless violence' in Kashmir

The Vatican has said it deplored "senseless violence" in Jammu and Kashmir after rioters defied curfews and torched a Christian school in a surge of anger stoked by the desecration of the Koran.

"Unfortunately, violence yields violence, a senseless violence because it targets the life of innocent people," Pier Luigi Celata, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue, said on Monday on Sky Tg 24 news channel.

Top state police official Kuldeep Khoda and other local officials blamed Iran's state-run Press TV for fanning simmering anger in Kashmir with a report on a group of Christians who tore pages from the Koran in a demonstration outside the White House on Saturday.

Local authorities later banned the station from broadcasting on local cable channels.

"These reports are causing us a lot of pain," Celata said, recalling Pope Benedict's statement that "violence can never be justified as a response to a slight" and was not compatible with the sacred principles of religion.

It's the time for the sepratist to change their tactics and stop violence, riots, arson and targeting innocent kashmiri people.

Why stop the violence? Let them continue and see what result it yields for their children. Please listen to the separatists and carry on arson and loot. Let their children get impoverished while the Pakistan sponsored cronies like geelani sends his grandchildren to London/NY. Yes India's taxpayers money and some security forces will be sacrificed. But the mislead kashmiris need to learn the lesson themselves that there is no grass on the other side, let alone that it may be greener. Till then happy rioting!

^ point being that " Its not us responsible for stoking up all this ongoing trouble...."
and that " It wont be us who will be paying a price ...territorial , political irrespective....for this unwanted provocation...."


personally I feel it would have been better if with all due respect the Padre hadn't commented at all....
