The Thanksgiving Day Massacre in Mumbai

The Islamic terrorists in Mumbai targeted Westerners and wealthy Indians. They chose huge, 4000 room hotels and other large, highly symbolic targets such as cafes and the old Victoria railway station. But they also carefully chose a very tiny building, Nariman House, also a highly symbolic location. Chabad is a worldwide movement of Hasidic Jews who do not proselytize, who are not violent, who live to help others and who have “shluchim,” or messengers-in-service on every continent.

Have the Princes of Saudi Arabia, the mullahs of Iran, the imams of Cairo, Baghdad, and London, the various Palestinian factions condemned the carnage?

Did I miss it?

Have moderate Muslims and prominent anti-racists and anti-colonialists condemned the carnage as a racist, colonialist act?

Islamic fundamentalists have declared a major, global war against the West and against non-Wahabi Muslims.

To date, the world has refused to treat the Islamic/Islamist assault as the full-fledged religious war that it really is. No, it is not a traditional war which means that we will require non-traditional, as well as traditional means to fight it.

Bush’s accent is bad — he meant to call it “The Religion of P*ss”

The muslims are content with guerrila warfare. If they detonated a nuclear device in the U.S., they would be signing their death warrant. Nobody even remotely associated with islam would escape, and our government would be powerless to stop the ensuing battle

That's what you say -- after 9/11, we should have nuked Mecca and Medina. Instead Pakistan has nukes and it calls it's nukes: "the Islamic bomb". Pakistan is a failed country -- the terrorists may get their hands on some of those china-made nukes

"Odd. I thought Thanksgiving was a uniquely American holiday."

The left has been telling us for years it's all about killing Indians....

It would be the worst mistake the muslims every made. The government wouldn't be able to overcome the inertia for retaliation. Anyone who would stand in the way of retribution would be perceived as weak, and would be pushed aside as we sought vengeance. They might be able to destroy on our cities, but we have the capability to destroy entire regions with the push of a button. This may not make any sense to the fanatics. I like to use the hornet analogy. The hornets build a nest and are happy living their day to day existence. Until some jackass comes along and shoves a stick into it. Yes, the jackass may have killed some of the hornets, but all he really succeeded in doing is pissing the rest of the hornets off, who will make it their life's’ goal of stinging the jackass to death.

your words sound good, however remember that after 9/11, the US just got riled for a bit and then forgot.
