[Dog Gone]

For some reason, you omitted the opening paragraph

WHILE THE Western World worries about Islam, the specter of Hindu nationalism carries the potential of threatening the stability of the Indian subcontinent and the world beyond. A bit of bad news out of New Delhi earlier this month was that the hard-line, Pakistan-bashing home minister, Lal Krishna Advani, had been named the number two man in the Indian government and a potential successor to the ailing and aging Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Okay, why exactly is this article doing its best to make Muslims seem like complete victims in all this? I seem to remember Islamists starting a big hubub by setting a traincar (and a few busses packed with women and children) on fire killing dozens and dozens of people. The alleged 'hundreds of muslims killed while police looked on' seems to be something of an exageration to make Islam look like the lesser of two evils...just my opinion...I could be wrong.

HDS Greenway is a notorious bleeding heart with a strong anti Indian bias he has expressed in many columns that he writes for the editorial pages of the Glob.

He, like so many others, is threatened by an india that can watch out for its own self interest.

The CongressParty is always touted as the solution to the problems of the current govt. Conveniently forgotten is their 50 year history of an antiAmerican bias, a socialist economy and their placating of the muslim minority that led to ever increasing demands on part of the muslim hardliners.

Next you'll be touting Maureen Dowd as an avatar of American political thought.

And of course, no mention of the original atrocity against Hindu pilgrims by whom......

One important distinction is overlooked here.

Hinduism is non-expanisionist.

The same cannot be said of Islam.

What do we mean by more secular? Do we mean Stalinism? I am worried at the assumed logic here; the more secular a state is the better for all. America isn't exactly secular. Here, even Atheists enjoy the rights afforded to them by principles extracted from Jewish/Christian philosophy. As much as we try to separate Church and State here we still fundamentally owe our current governmental philosophy to religion, which is, where the concept of justice is fundamentally defined.

Religion is not the antithesis to governance. (Constantine)

Let's see, who are the Hindus mad at? The Christian West? Noooo. Moslems? Why yes! And why are they mad at Moslems? Could it be that Moslem militants have been blowing up Hindus for decades? Methinks we have nothing to really worry about with the Hindus.

The BJP just succesfully nominated a Muslim to be the next president of India http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/716422/posts .
Some religious extremists.
This article and those like it on Anti-war.com and the mainstreme publications are an attemp by the left to discredit our allies. This is anti-anti-communism applied to the war on Islamist-terror.

Ping. You always seem interested in things sub-continental. parsy.

This is hilarious, I hope Greenway is just doing a favor for his Islamist buddies by trying to take some heat off them (not working). We have much bigger problems to deal with and this aint one of them.

At this point, I say one enemy at a time.

AFTER we wipe the Muslime and Islamazis off the planet, we can turn to the next group of inhuman scum that pop up.
