This can be interesting. A Sikh Prime Minister, a Muslim President, and a Christian head of Congress protecting "Hindu" shrines. If they fail, the consequences can be bad for Indian "secularism".

[siunevada]

neither their identities, nor their motives has been established.

Yeah. Their motives. There's a big mystery.

[Rooivalk]

Iraq, Thailand, the Sudan and India. The common link: the cult of islam

[jb6]

No, not Islam! Why it's the Religion of Pieces! After what they did to Joseph's Tomb, anything is possible from these animals.

[jb6]

A few more: Israel, Lebanon, Nigeria, Russia, Phillipines, China, AFghanistan, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Greece, Spain, France, etc.

New York City, Washington DC, Pennsylvania..

translation
"How many times do I have to tell you; you are in war. Fact is fact; either you wake up to it: or you find your house being occupied by enemy! You don't understand. I am telling you, wakeup and face reality, or face self destruction. You can't hide, neither can you hide facts; this is war: either you like it or not face it. Lets combine our forces and do what is necessary; don't hesitate, don't think, either fore make decision or face self destruction. At end there is a hope from above, before will you stand up?"

It's the inherent view of the less fortunate that their plight is your fault.

[dervish]

Indian Ping!

So what did the NY Times get wrong?

[neverdem]

So what did the NY Times get wrong?

That's not fair, because it's the NY Slimes, every single syllable must be a lie!

[RightWhale]

It will stay domestic. It doesn't go international until the Legislature itself is attacked.

[popdonnelly]

A good example of how the Muslim religion respects other religions. The Taliban destroying the statues of the Buddha in Afghanistan is another one. Now you all be kind to Muslims, hear?

[FormerLib]

There are some who would point out that because such wars pre-date Islam, it would be wrong for us to hold Islam or its followers responsible for such attacks.

No, seriously!

Yeah, I'm not buyin' that either.

[sergey1973]

Islam is a Religion of Peace--it's only ignorant bigots who keep on bringing such nuissances as 1400 years of Jihad and sometimes genocidal conquest, oppression of women (incl. genital mutilation), suicide bombing, etc. -:)))

[jb6]

Exactly. We the neadrethals of the world who can't seem to see the love in Islam's heart from all the gun smoke and scorched bodies. :-)

The media makes me sick: we just don't know what the motivation of the "militants" was!!! As if they're really that stupid.

[RedwineisJesus]

I like the way in India there were six terrorists & six terrorists are dead. The same can be said for Russia & China's way of dealing with these vermin.

No sending them off to Gitmo where they can complain that they are being brutally tortured because their rice has lumps in it.

was present when a Hindu mob, numbering in the thousands, stormed Ayodhya compound in December 1992, and with their bare hands, demolished a 16th-century mosque that had stood there. The Hindus accused Muslim rulers of building their mosque on top of a temple that had marked the birthplace of a blue-skinned Hindu deity, called Ram. In the ensuing riots, more than 1,100 people were killed, most of them Muslims.

That day was one of the proudest moments in India's history, and a shining example of how to deal with Muslims everywhere. Israel should have ripped the Jerusalem mosques apart in June 1967. Their failure to do so was a critical error.

I was raging when I read these guys were getting showers and hots while the valient MPs slept in tents and ate MREs. WTF? What are we doing and why aren't these scum having their bones picked clean by crows as they hang from gibbets?

[jb6]

Didn't stop the slamies from doing that to Joseph's Tomb.
