RAMALLAH, West Bank – Muslims from the Middle East to Britain and Austria condemned Sunday the Mumbai shooting rampage by suspected Islamic militants as senseless terrorism, but also found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion.

Intellectuals and community leaders called for greater efforts to combat religious fanaticism.

Indian police said Sunday that the only surviving gunman told them he belongs to the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The group is seen as a creation of Pakistani intelligence to help fight India in the disputed Kashmir region. Another group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, has also operated in Kashmir. Both are reported to be linked to al-Qaida.

Ten gunmen attacked 10 targets in the three-day assault including a Jewish community center and luxury hotels in India's commercial hub. More than 170 people were killed.

Many Muslims said they are worried such carnage is besmirching their religion.

Gollee, Gomer. I'm worried that my continual robbing of banks may be jeopardizing my freedom. What should I do?

"Many Muslims said they are worried such carnage is besmirching their religion."

Many Muslims said they are proud such carnage is befitting their religion.

Fixed

Sure thing. Muslims condemn attacks. Right up until the terrorist camps are hit and all those weddings get bombed.

I know what you mean.

I'm resigned to a very bad next few years. I'm also prepared for that eventuality ... as best I am able.

Plenty of supplies & extra shooting glasses.

Oh yeah. I’m REALLY reassured, now. Those ‘intellectuals’ are such ‘tough cookies’.

Are we ready for this? Are we profiling yet? Do we still have “gun free” zones? Or do we still have long lines at airports?
