It has nothing to do with Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin. Believe me it has nothing to do with them!
This is Kashmir. There has been difficulty with 'civil rights' and 'human rights' in that region of Paki-India for a long time. It has always been fertile ground for extremism. Now, extremism is not necessarily related to only ONE type of 'thinking.' It isn't necessarily about 'terrorism.' But, I don't expect bozos that believe 'rhetoric' is actually vital to an election to understand that.
The people of Kashmir are good people. They are always in distress because they want what every other person on Earth wants. Respect, dignity, food, water and shelter. But, then I wouldn't expect people that believe in 'rhetoric' as vital to an election to understand that.
...A mob on Saturday set on fire a police barrack and a vehicle of the police department outside the Harzratbal Shrine on the banks of the Dal lake here following which security forces opened fire.
Soon after Eid-ul-Fitr prayers, a group of people attacked the police barrack in the lawns of Hazratbal and set it on fire. They also set ablaze a police vehicle, official sources said.
Police opened fire to disperse the mob and prevent any further damage to public property, they said, adding there were no reports of anyone getting injured in the incident.

Indian police accuse Kashmiri leader of treason
By AIJAZ HUSSAIN (AP) – 34 minutes ago
SRINAGAR, India — Police in Indian-administered Kashmir formally accused a key separatist leader of treason Sunday for allegedly inciting violence after participants in a massive anti-India rally torched government offices.
Armored vehicles patrolled the streets Sunday and security forces used steel and barbed-wire barricades to seal off public squares and neighborhoods in Srinagar, the largest city.
Scores of people defied a curfew throughout the region and clashed with government forces, police said. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq could face a death sentence or life imprisonment if prosecutors follow through with formal charges and he is convicted. However, police have brought similar cases against other separatist leaders in the past and they have rarely been pursued.

Curfew back in Kashmir Valley - if one listens 'well' one can hear the people say interesting words. I wouldn't expect those that actually believe 'rhetoric' is vital to an election to know what those words are.
