The Massacre in Mumbai: The Work of Maniacal Evil
North Star Writers Group ^ | December 2, 2008 | Jamie Weinstein

Posted on 12/02/2008 5:27:24 AM PST by Invisigoth

Last week, on the streets of Mumbai, we saw yet again the face of terror. We saw the face of deliberate destruction. We saw the face of maniacal evil.

While the details of Mumbai's massacre are still being sorted out, this much we know. We know that the killers intentionally targeted Americans, Britons and Jews. We know that the terrorists deliberately attacked, among other sites, a hospital. And we know that the savages that shocked our consciences last week were inspired by the same wicked ideology that has inspired radical Islamists to kill innocents in the past, from New York to Madrid to London and far beyond.

Whether these killers formerly belonged to the previously unknown terrorist group Deccan Mujahideen or were members of a better-established organization, the nature of their attack illuminates clearly enough to us what animated their wickedness. Make no mistake, what we saw in Mumbai last week was not the result of "grievances" perpetrated by India or the United States or Israel. No, the perpetrators were most certainly motivated by an Islamist ideology which seeks to institute a cruel, medieval vision of Islam on the world. They seek to upend governments in Muslim countries that they consider insufficiently "Islamic" and destroy Western liberal societies whose version of freedom disgusts them.

I am quite sure the Munich Olympics massacre was in retaliation for our invasion of Iraq.

Daniel Pearl’s murder as well.

And those embassy bombings, and the bombing of the USS Cole

If they try this outrage here...ordinary citizens will kill them...when the passengers on flight 93 realized what was happening they acted. I’d like to think 56 million of us would respond spontaneously...
