Letter threatens to blow up Taj Mahal

Wrong target, the Taj is nor the normal thing with a slammite mosque built over top of somebody elses temple or church or synagogue, and it was made as a memorial to a woman and not as a devil-worship/I-slam religious site. Hindus should simple put some sort of a big sign saying "Hindu Temple" over the gate to the Taj.

Can you imagine any husband building something like that for his wife?

I'm sure he got very sweaty and took quite a while. ;-)

Of course, it seems that most times guys try to have great tributes built, the lady in question expires before completion (e.g., Boldt Castle)..if not already gone (e.g., the Taj Mahal). Too bad they don't get to enjoy them while alive!

Letters are now making threats? I sure miss the days when all they did was sponsor Sesame Street episodes.

"Or because the Taj Mahal is one of the finest examples of Islamic art?"

"Though some attribute the design to Geronimo Verroneo, an Italian in the Mughal service, evidence suggests that it was designed by Ustad Isa Khan Effendi, a Persian, who assigned the detailed work to his pupil Ustad Ahmad."

The Taj Mahal is not the Hagia Sophia.

There may or may not have been a Hindu temple on the site at one time, but the Taj Mahal was built new in the 1630s.

Well yeah, as long as she was dead.

[Hand em their arse]

GO AHEAD, I DARE YA! BLOW IT UP, AND I'LL FIRE YOUR ASS!!!

No comment needed.

Most of India's recent terrorist attacks have been perpetrated by the Marxists there. Why is Al Queda suddenly interested?

[tdewey10]

They want to destroy beauty and cherish ugliness.

[processing please hold]

Target rich environment?

[yooling]

You all just know that this wouldn't be happening if we wouldn't have invaded Iraq......or is it Israel this time? I forget. Oh....IT'S BUSH'S FAULT.

OK here is a math problem for the both of you. Find the minimum number of JDAMs and the points of release assuming they drop vertically, so that # of survivors = 0.

Alternatively, can the same result be achieved with a single Daisy Cutter ?

I've never known AQ to announce their plans

[jmcenanly]

You'd think they'd claim it as a mosque.

[WhiteGuy]

No way!
