in India , to start with , the Gov should immediately close every single madrassa ,and especially those of the Deoband school. They should designate a small hellhole island offshore somewhere and all terrorist ‘suspects’ get thrown there and forgotten . Sound familiar ? make it a 100 x’s worse than the cushy comforts of Gitmo. The radical muslims need to be made to live in fears worse than the fear of death .

The Deccan Plateau being a place that is not at all in dispute and never has been. Don’t stop Muslim nutbags, though. EVERYWHERE they live ‘belongs’ to them and ANYWHERE they are, they will kill.

That would be the Indians’ call. What’s more, why should we attack innocent people in Peshwar, when these Jihadi’s could be home grown in India, which has more Muzzies than Pakistan does.

I had heard on the radio that the Muha- jadin had claimed responsibility. Prayers going up for the people over there.

This is the disgusting, predictable side-effect of giving Muslims their own homeland when they become too uncivil to live within the country they've been welcomed in. Pakistan is a faux country. It is a carved-out side-show piece of India given to Muslims in a stupid effort to create a "behave" zone for a religious suicide cult.

Go...India!

This is from Yeshiva World News:

As soon as the news broke of the Mumbai terror attacks, YWN contacted Chabad officials to inquire if the local Shaliach was assisting in rescue efforts - as is the case when tragedies occur across the globe. We also inquired if there were any Jews R”L killed and/or injured.

“We will get back to you as soon as we reach the Shaliach”, was the response.

Several hours have passed, and the local Chabad Shliach, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, and his wife Rivka cannot be located. Numerous attempts to locate him have failed.

According to some reports, one of the bombs was detonated near the Chabad House located on 5 Hormusji Street - Nariman House in Mumbai’s Colaba area. Another Chabad official told YWN that there are unconfirmed reports that the Chabad House was “taken-over by the terrorists”.

“We are working closely with the American and Israeli Government’s to try and get credible information”.

“We are waiting for them to contact us,” the anxious mother-in-law of the Shliach, Mrs. Yehudis Rosenberg told a Chabad website. “It’s possible that the phone system in the country crashed - which is a frequent occurrence there.”

The Tzibur is requested to say Tehillim for Gavriel Noach ben Freida Bluma; (his wife) Rivka bas Yehudis; (and their son) Moshe Tzvi ben Rivka.

[Numerous locations were attacked by gunfire and bombs - injuring close to 1000 and killing 80.]

Who against and where? Shooting that bunch of terrorists (oops, I meant to say militants) in Mumbai will result in only a temporay solution.

Declare open season on the wealthy financial backers of the terrorists, such as the Golden Chain organization.

Without funds, the terrorist organizations dry up and blow away.

Spraying a Chabad House, which often serves as an unoffician synagogue, with pigs blood would be a grave insult to Jews.
Pigs are unclean.

Capture some terrorists. let then be questioned by people who lost family in the attack. Find out what nation state is supporting them and then attack them with WMDs

Smite the jihadists wherever they are to be found. If non Muslims have no rights that Muslims are bound to respect, then it is axiomatic that Muslims have no rights that the rest of us are bound to respect..

Gavriel and his wife were very nice to us. My wife and I had a child in India and his wife helped us with medicine for the child and she was so kind when the child was crying telling us to stay at their dinner. They are wonderful people and because the insane religion of Islam hates Jews and infidels they are in great danger.

101 killed as gunmen rampage in India city
By RAMOLA TALWAR BADAM,
Ramola Talwar Badam
Associated Press Writer

MUMBAI, India – Teams of gunmen stormed luxury hotels, a popular restaurant, a crowded train station and a JEWISH group’s Headquarters in India’s financial capital, killing at least 101 people, taking Westerners hostage and leaving parts of the city under siege Thursday. A group of suspected Muslim militants claimed responsibility.

Police and gunmen were exchanging occasional gunfire at two luxury hotels and dozens of people were believed held hostage or trapped inside the besieged buildings. Pradeep Indulkar, a senior official at the Maharashtra state Home Ministry said 101 people were killed and 287 injured.

Officials said eight militants had also been killed in the coordinated attacks on at least 10 sites that began around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Gunmen also seized the Mumbai headquarters of the Ultra-Orthodox JEWISH outreach group Chabad Lubavitch, the New York-based group said.
Indian commandos surrounded the building Thursday morning and media reports said gunfire was heard from the building.

Police loudspeakers declared a curfew around Mumbai’s landmark Taj Mahal hotel, and black-clad commandos ran into the building as fresh gunshots rang out from the area, apparently the beginning of an assault on gunmen who had taken hostages in the hotel....”

Retaliate massively without mercy Take the gloves off entirely

NOOOO. You need to negotiate with these members of the Religion of P**s. After all, Islam has a message of peace. You just need to convince these people to all convert to the religion of P*Ss.

Ok, now I need to go and puke.


Kill all the 'slimes

The root cause of these is Pakistan. Eradicate that land,then SAudi Arabia. Or, better yet, just nuke Mecca and Medina first
