As President Trump stated many a times that this country is on a sliding scale - militarily, financially, economically, socially and culturally - and it requires a leader with a strong spine to initiate some drastic steps.  Country has lost its prestige in the eyes of world leaders due to weak foreign and domestic policies emanating from DC.  A drastic turn around is warranted very badly to restore its damaged prestige.  Hopefully, USA has found a leader to turn things around, and I think, it is the duty of all lovers of the USA to support him wholeheartedly irrespective of our party affiliation.  Election is over and people have spoken.  Let's put aside our political and personal grievances and work together to build this nation.

The problem in J & K is a long lasting.  It did not start just now,  It has been there since 1947.  The only difference is that this political turmoil has taken a little different shape in the sense that we all know that there are external forces who are helping the local inhabitants to create chaos in the Kashmir area.  Blaming Pakistan for this political upheavals is not the solution.  The solution rests with the job creation for these demonstrators.  They are unemployed and/or underemployed.  As they say, idle mind is a devil's mind.  They have nothing to do in life and they become an easy prey of external forces to participate in the destructive activities.  Needless to say, it is up to the incumbent local government to work with the central government and find ways to create an employment situation for these individuals.  One way to do is to be mentally prepared to make changes in the local Constitution and repeal an Article 370.  Deletion of this Article will encourage investment from other parts of India which will be helpful in creating jobs.  Once these unemployed becomes employed, the turmoil in the streets will be minimized.  Also, these new employed will be contributing revenue to the local exchequer which will be a win win situation.  All it requires is setting aside ego and politics.  When the original Constitution was written, the political situation was different.  Now with the changing time and political situation, it is prudent to change the Constitution - earlier the better.

These fatwas and Mullahs' version of Islam is the problem.  Most of the Mullahs are not spiritually enlightened.  They preach a distorted version of Islam to their congregation.  They have brainwashed their congregation in the sense that the audience is not supposed to ask any question or clarification of Mullahs' statement.  Hence, the audience is not using their brain to question and  analyze what the Mullahs' say in their sermons.  First thing Mr. Trump do is to deport all illegal Muslims from the USA that includes even the legal Muslims whose identity has been established as a follower of ISIS ideology.  Since, Mosques are the breeding and training grounds for the future martyrs, strict surveillance ought to be made as a mandatory condition.  Thirdly, no more construction of Mosques in the USA.  Fourthly, the Mosques which have been proven and known to the officials as the breeding found of fundamentalists should be closed for ever and clerics should be deported.  Lastly, any donation coming to any of these mosques from overseas should be monitored and stopped this funding.
