Carley,
It IS unimaginable. I’ve sent my prayers for your friends in this tragic hour. Best wishes to you as well.
Dumbed down Americans are brain-washed to believe Islam is the ‘religion of peace’. Didn’t learn a d*mn thing from 9/11.
What will it take for people to realize the Koran (they consider every word of to be the sacred word of God) instructs them to kill us and take our lands?
The terrorists haven’t ‘hijacked Islam’. They are only followed instructions in the manual of murder and mayhem, the Koran.
THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .
MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:
“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).
THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO FIGHT CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND CONQUER THE WORLD FOR ISLAM:
(The following are only a few of the verses commanding Muslims to fight)
WARFARE IS ORDAINED FOR YOU, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. (2.216)
Fight those among the People of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] ... who do not profess the true religion, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (9.29)
“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193
Fight those among the People of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] ... who do not profess the true religion, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (9.29)
Quran 9:33 ISLAM WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS
THE FOUNDER OF CAIR HAS TOLD US PLAINLY OF ISLAM’S OBJECTIVE IN AMERICA:
“ISLAM ISN’T IN AMERICA TO BE EQUAL TO ANY OTHER FAITH, BUT TO BECOME DOMINANT. The Koran ... should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth. Everthing we need to know is in the Koran. We don’t need to look somewhere else.” OMAR M. AHMAD, CHAIRMAN OF CAIR,the mainsteam Muslim advocacy group.

Terrorist attacks by definition means Muslimes. Nothing else
news is that the terrorists came from Pakistan by boat to Bombay
The terrorists are from Pakistan — trained there at the very least and came to Bombay with their weapons by boat from Karachi, Pakistan
Yes, Bombay — population in the city island: 19 to 22 million, overall population including suburbs extends to 44 to 46 MILLION people
The mistake was not doing this after eradicating the Taliban in 2002.
Yes /sarc. You forget that Pakistan call’s it’s nukes, the “Islamic bomb”.
Um. It was not so long ago we had other groups to blame --and actually it continues today. IRA and ETA for example.
There is a difference — IRA and ETA never went to this extent of primarily targetting civilians. They attacked armed soldiers / policemen. This is different. What do the Islamies want? They want us to convert to Satanism (aka Islam), nothing else.
Folks, get prepared to see these attacks by feral Islamofacist Serial Killers happening on a regular basis when Zer0 is officially our dictator.
The Islamofacist Serial Killers know that they will not be bothered America any more.
Maybe if we travel, wearing an Obama Pin might help.
An Indian freeper who used to post here alot told me that very few Muslims in India - and even Hindus - have been taught the real history of India. No Muslims for sure know the truth of the Muslim invasions, slaughter, desecrations, rapes, and forced conversions, that continued for hundreds of years.
Yes, the difference between the good Muslims and the bad Muslims is that the good Muslims are just about as terrified of the bad Muslims as anyone else. That’s why precious few ever speak out about the Muslim atrocities. They want their heads attached to their necks just as much as the next guy.
You know that will never happen. The few that do speak out have to have round the clock bodyguards and hide.
