After brief but intense skirmishes between India and Pakistan, a tense quiet has taken hold over South Asia as the two powers agreed to a US-backed ceasefire.

Those battles came in the aftermath of a bloody terrorist attack in northwestern India on April 22 which killed dozens of people at the hands of Islamic terrorists.

That attack was not an isolated massacre, but just the latest salvo from Islamic fundamentalists in the region. While thousands of kilometres may separate Israel and India, both countries face similar threats from similar fanatical extremists hell-bent on murdering as many people as possible.
