Or she doesn’t like the girlfriend....
No, this time, unfortunately, there will be blood, and lots of it. Either internally or externally.
Terrible news.
Praying for God’s help all around.
How did they handle the pirates, I hadnt heard.
About 30 years ago I spent about 2 weeks in Bombay.
My favorite place was the Taj. I also spent several weeks in Columbo Sri Lanka on that trip. Just a few years before violence broke out there.
Oh, I think the girlfriend is acceptable, after all she did VOLUNTEER WORK FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. This is the same sister that, while my son was in Ramadi, Iraq, with USMC, said we should pull out of Iraq due to Bin Laden/Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan. I said, no, AQ is in Iraq now, and she said, “well Bush lied”. I said thanks for supporting our Marines and troops over there...
Carry on....
(sarcasm off)
“Religion of peace”, my ass! Religion of murderers and founded by a pedophile, PERIOD!
Ditto. Hey muzzie lovers, how is India involved with the Arab/Isreali conflict?????? The only good muzzie is a dead muzzie.
Clearly the Mormons. Just ask Mark Morford....
VOA is reporting on this now
The tourist season just started
OMG! Prayers for them and you.
I am listening to the live news stream from Mumbai and they are saying the muslim terrorists are specifically targeting a Jewish and Israeli section of the city.
Too many Americans are too young to remember that the Indian subcontinent included Indian and Pakistan. Even before Britain granted independence to India, Islamist terrorism ran rampant on the subcontinent and gave "birth" to Pakistan.
Islamist terrorists (that may be a redundancy) will remain with us until the civilized world exterminates the last Mohammedan murderer.
Belonging to a terrorist organization must become a crime punishable by death.
Make sure you note the obligatory article in your Thanksgiving newspaper: `Islam is a religion of peace’ and anyone who disagrees is a racist, so pay no attention to the murderers in India.
