Seven terrorists infiltrated a bucolic mountain valley near the village of Pahalgam in Kashmir, India, last Tuesday. It is a popular and beautiful tourist destination. Armed with automatic weaponry, the terrorists accosted picnickers and other tourists and demanded to know who was Muslim and who was Hindu.

They forced their captives to recite Islamic prayers and checked to see if the men were circumcised. They then slaughtered more than two dozen Indians and a Nepali solely based on their religion. It was the worst terrorist attack in India in more than a decade.
