Hyderabad, India, August 25: Two explosions within minutes killed at least 20 people in Hyderabad on Saturday, police said.

"At least 20 people have been killed in the two blasts within a gap of 10 minutes," a senior police officer said.

One blast was at the Lumbini amusement park where a laser show was taking place, and the officer said it could have been caused by an 'improvised explosive device'.

Seven people were killed immediately in the park explosion, and two died later in hospital.

The same police officer said another explosion at a street-side eatery was caused by a exploding gas cylinder and killed 11 people.

A total of 50 people were wounded in the two explosions.

No one knows the details yet. But this is, again, as is now happening all over India, and of course in Pakistan, likely Islamic terrorism. You see, they set off a bomb at the Lumbini amusement park - this is where children play. You see? They set off their bombs against children. They will do the same at Disneyland, as soon as they get the chance.

The WOT is world wide.

India has suffered for generations at the hands of Islamic extremists.

Part of India was ripped from her side to become "The First Muslim State" of Pakistan in the 1940's, in part, in hopes, of appeasing the "modern" politicized Islamic movement. But we see in Pakistan, as the US Democratic Party weakens the US, and Western resolve to stand up against this world-wide threat, now the same Islamic movement begins it's next agenda - to overthrow the governments in Egypt, Turkey (pointing right at the belly of Europe), Pakistan (the nuclear bomb), and eventually Saudi Arabia of course long term, to establish their terrorist Khalifat state.

I heard some terrorists recently just crossed the border of Mexico into the U.S. - I don't know the details because the phony liberal news does not consider this news. Not when an important election is coming, and not when the phony liberal news is the campaign managers for the Democratic Party.

This War is going to be a long war. It has many, many fronts. When weakness and retreat is made, those who suffer under the threat, and that includes our children, will later only have to return to fight again only at even greater sacrifice.

They kill children. They do so in Thailand, Egypt, everywhere ... in the amusement park in India.

They kill the children of Democrats, too. Even Democrats may one day understand.

We don't know the details of these blasts yet. But, isn't it natural that the first thought is that it is them again?

Do I even need to say who them, is?

We need persistence for such a war.

That’s hard when patience is so out of style.

Christiane Amanpour (very rough paraphrase): Muslims in India are an oppressed people, 140 million of them, 13% of that population. Such a large minority must be heard!

Bush has force them into terrorism as their only last hope against the American alliance with the Indian government. As you know, peace is Islam's middle name. They need to be better understood. We need to open lines of communications with them. Perhaps if we give them back some land their forefathers owned and worked when they were not oppressed, we could show that we empathize with their oppression and they will stop.

We could give them money to stop producing nukes in Pakistan. Their promises will be trustworthy, as these people never lie to infidels the children of kindred religions.

When Bush is out of office and the Democrats are running the government, the peace-loving left will be able to put an end to this past nightmare of aggressive, far-right Republican madness.

If the language of choice is bombs, well, a lot of people speak that language.

The WOT is world wide.

Yet we are going backwards in our recognition of the problem. Partisanship trumps self survival. The most chauvinistic group worldwide is Islam yet they hide behind warped notions of multiculturalism in many countries including USA.

Our failure to see what is right before our eyes will cost up untold lives. All this for a Democrat in the Whitehouse??

I pray we put our finger on the "turn of phrase" that will "dissuade" them from their mayhem. We must muster the stomach for whatever it takes to stop them, lest we be forced to pay with not only greater taxation, but loss of blood and our otherwise pleasant, free culture. We then need to send that message and carry through with the action(s) to stop them, as the situation may be called for to protect our country's people.

Thereafter, maybe they'll live more as the Amish, in secluded groups that keep almost entirely to themselves.

Pre-emption is no longer an operative term for what we must do, even without further provocation, given the number of attacks the world has seen in the last several hundred years, with the ever-greater bent to maximal damage and death via WMD.

BJP blames UPA for Hyderabad blasts

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday blamed the Central government’s handling of internal security for the Hyderabad bombings and sought a high-level investigation into the explosion.

“We have been constantly warning the Centre that it should take adequate measures to strengthen internal security, but the Congress-led government has never bothered to rein in terror. These condemnable blasts appear yet another act of terror in the face of the UPA’s soft approach on terrorism,” senior BJP leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra said.

The BJP leader maintained that the government was required to revive anti-terror laws to combat the scourge.

“We came with POTA and they(UPA) scrapped it for their own vote-bank politics. Time and again, it has been proved that you cannot deal with terror with ordinary laws,you have to have tough measures to fight the scourge,” he remarked.

No doubt the Amish terrorism was in response to call center outsourcing by the leading Amish buggy manufacturer.

Do you think the Islamic immigration rate will increase or decrease in the future? It’s been running at about 70k annually since 9/11. That’s a fairly dramatic increase from before 9/11.
