Mumbai All people trapped in Taj Hotel in Mumbai have been rescued and there is no hostage-like situation right now, says Director General of Police (DGP) A N Roy. "No negotiations with the terrorists. Either we will kill them or nab them alive," said Roy.

Meanwhile, 200 more NSG commandos being sent to Mumbai, according to a spokesperson.

PM Singh has cancelled his visit to Mumbai !

[ScaniaBoy]

Glad to see you are still safe and sound.

I assume a visit by the PM now would strain the resources of the security forces even more.

Good to hear “no negotiations” - capture dead or alive.

[GOP Poet]

Glad to see you are still safe and sound.

Good to hear “no negotiations” - capture dead or alive.

Yes. Blessings to all victims and their families.

""No negotiations with the terrorists. Either we will kill them or nab them alive," said Roy."

Yo! PEO! Mr. Roy may have just made your WOT philosophy here!! Please use his wise assessment to help keep America safe from similar terrorist attacks!!!

"He said five of the dozen terrorists in Taj have been killed while one has been captured and was being interrogated."

Is this the part where Austin Powers comes out and makes those air quotes when the word 'interrogation' is used? One of my husband's cousins in India accidentally hit an old man on a scooter with his car a few years ago, took the old man to the local hospital where he died. The cousin had the opportunity to run away, but he stayed and told the police what had happened. They took him (25 y/o) into custody and "interrogated" him for several hours. He died 'suddenly, without warning' the next day. We got the news a few days later when relatives were finally allowed to get his body for cremation. Upon getting the details in a phone call from his dad, it was the only time I've ever seen my husband put his fist through the drywall. :-(

we are fine here in North Mumbai .

However there IS a heavy police presence at all the main roads I saw two cops sitting at the bus stop when i went to purchase the Afternoon daily .

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

Someone needs to tell Zero that !

[Cronos]

Kill ‘em all. As Ann Coulter said — “invade their lands and give them a choice: convert or die”

[Carley]

Has Obambi sent India a message that waterboarding the captured terrorist is unacceptable?

[Gondring]

Kill ‘em all. As Ann Coulter said — “invade their lands and give them a choice: convert or die”

Ah, yes...just as Jesus taught!

Convert to what, I wonder.

[naturalized]

Well, does anyone really have any other choice? I am pretty sure that Jesus said that if you did not believe He was the One He claimed to be, you would die in your sins.

[70th Division]

That statement was just another Ann Coulter bit of sarcasm. This is what the Muslims say about Christians

[Cronos]

Convert to any religion. Islam is a blood-thirsty cult that preaches death to anyone who does not follow it and orders it’s followers to kill infidels. Think of this — in the 6th century Egypt, Syria, Libya, much of Iraq were all Christian. When the people of that side just turned the other cheek, that’s when Christians got hounded, killed, etc. The same is happening in IRaq now.

‘Eight Israelis held by terrorists in Mumbai Chabad House’
Nov. 27, 2008
DAVID HOROVITZ, matthew wagner, and jpost staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

Indian commandos and police were evacuating civilians and cordoning off the area apparently in preparation to storm the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, where a rabbi, his wife and several other Israelis were being held hostage, according to IBN, an Indian news agency.

Chabad spokesman in Israel, Moni Ender, said there were eight Israelis inside the house, including Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka Holtzberg.

Several other Israelis were reportedly being held at the Oberoi Hotel, Israel Radio reported.

Newscasters were calling it the “final assault” on the Nariman House, where Chabad headquarters are located, adjacent to the Leopold Cafe, a major tourist center in Mumbai’s Colaba area, which was also attacked Wednesday night.

"We don't negotiate with terrorists, we kill them or nab them." <<<<

Ok, maybe the Indians aren't so bad after all.

[Gondring]

Well, does anyone really have any other choice? I am pretty sure that Jesus said that if you did not believe He was the One He claimed to be, you would die in your sins.

Oh yeah, that was Jesus' buddy who said that thing about dust and sandals. Jesus was the one who said, "Blow them away if they won't convert."

</sarc>

[Gondring]

That statement was just another Ann Coulter bit of sarcasm. This is what the Muslims say about Christians

No, it wasn't. It was a misquote of Ann Coulter.

She wrote, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

[70th Division]

She was still making the point by being absurd. She is the master of sarcasm.

[Cronos]

I'm going to clarify my position -- the philosophy of Islam is wrong. Islam is fundamentally false and fundamentally wrong -- logically, factually, morally and philosophically.

What has islam given the world?:

1. every single terrorist attack this century,

2. Mohammed's massacre of the Jewish Meccans in the 7th century

3. Timur e Lang

4. Muhammad Ghor's slaughter of Hindus in the 10th century,

5. Muhammad Ghazni's attack on India in the middle ages,

6. The Iraqis destroying Assyrian Christian Churches and murdering bishops and priests,

7. Today's attack on a Coptic Church in Egypt,

8. Islamics attacking and raping children in Beslan,

9. Muslims beheading Buddhist priests in Thailand,

10. Muslim beheadings and terrorism in southern Philippines,

11. Muslim terrorists bombing innocent party-goers in Bali,

12. Muslim terrorists bombing trains in London,

13. Muslimes bombing trains in Spain,

14. Muslims bombing trains in Bombay, Bangalore, Jaipur,

15. Muslims killing Christians and forcing conversions in Northern Nigeria,

16. Saudi Arabia arresting people for possesing Bibles or Gitas or even having a Church or Temple,

17. Somali taxi-drivers in Minnesota refusing to take blind people with seeing eye dogs,

18. Muslims attacking Israel in '48, '67, '71,

19. Muslims slaughtering Hindus and Sikhs after partitioning INdia (and still leaving a remnant of Muslims in India),

20. Islam reducing Zoroastrians in Iran, Buddhists in Central Asia, Christians in the Middle East to dhimmitude and forcibly taking their sons and daughters and converting them and putting them as janissaries or into the harem.

I could go on.

The root cause is the philosophy of death preached by Islam. Islam is no more than a mish-mash of pre-Islamic worship of the moon god Sin (with his daughters allat, Uzzat and Amat) mixed with misunderstandings from Zoroastrianism, Arianism, Judaism and Nestorian Christianity.

Islam's holy book reads like the Mein Kampf -- zero coherence, contradicting itself and contradicting history.

Islam's philosophy is at root based on wrong data or wilful misinterpretation of data and history: e.g. for 2640 years the Israelites said Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, however Mohammed comes and says no, it was Ishmael (an attempt to link Arabs to Abraham and mish-mash Judaism so that Mohammed could form an Arab league).

Another one -- the Koran says that Mary gave birth to Christ under a tree in the desert: completely unlike the description in the bible and suspiciously like the other description of a birth in Revelations: proof that Mohammed mish-mashed bits and pieces to form his cult

There are more including the Hadiths that say the sun revolves around the earth (note: it's in the HAdith so is a tenet of Islamic belief).


The Koran also preaches death to infidels and mandates their killing. No other religion does that.

For Islamics, the only solution is for all to convert (or as they say it, to revert) to Islam. nothing else.

Tell me one good thing, one new philosophy that the profit brought? None. This cult started out as a personal chance to grab power by unifying tribes and it grew to a culture of death, worship of the demon Chemosh's lord, Satan.

If you read Revelations you read about the Dragon and his false prophet and how they have the dragon's number 666

Now Islam has it's false prophet and it has the number 786 as a holy number. In Islam, Allah is given many names, many beautiful, flattering names. Which fallen angel do you know who was supposedly the "most beautiful angel" and loved flattery?

In contrast, the God of the Jews and Christians says simply "I am I". HE has no need for flattery or a million pretty sounding names.

[naturalized]

Jesus told everyone who would listen to make disciples. How is that different than “converting” them? And Jesus’s teaching you quote was not some namby pamby passive live and let live. Read the next verse. Or maybe you don’t believe in Sodom and Gomorrah. Funny thing - Jesus did.
