'I was told to kill to my last breath':
Mail online ^ | November 30, 2008 | Ian Gallagher

Posted on 11/30/2008 8:01:02 AM PST by Kaslin

The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it – revealing he was ordered to ‘kill until the last breath’.

Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people.

He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages.

Mercifully, the group, armed with plastic explosives, underestimated the strength of the 105-year-old building’s solid foundations.

As it is, their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces.

Would they have hesitated if the number were 50,000, or 500,000? If they could have killed 10,000,000 innocents; would they have proceeded along with their plan?


If they could get a nuclear device into an American city and kill a million people, they would do it and not blink an eye.

We're dealing with the spirit (read: demon) of murder here. There is nothing beyond that, no humanity, no soul, no civilization. Total nihilism.
This is what Islam offers the world.

Um, that's cool, but well maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list lol.

I uh meant things you could do using ordinary things or special techniques, too old for that karate stuff, but not too old to try to think of something. Makeshift was the idea here.

I know most of them didn't have a chance the way things were going, but I don't like the idea that a large group can be herded like sheep the way some were, all because they were probably too scared. That one guy did get away on the stairwell.

The Indian security forces appear to be incompetent cowards.

I heard he was now begging for his life. Granted, provided he is rendered blind and dumb, with his fingers and toes cut off and castrated. Let him keep his hearing so that he can hear his own screaming.

You certainly give me an idea.

They want to die in jihad and then then get 72 virbins...oh make that virgins.

So this is their hot button and the only way to destroy it and stop them from killing us is to make sure they who follow know the first ones did not complete the task.

So if we dip them in pigs blood just as they die, then they will be refused entrance into virginland.

Do we dip our bullets in pigs blood or just how do we accomplish this??

How a Muslim can see what is being done in the name of Islam, and still call his religion a ‘good’ religion is something that I cannot grasp.

Maybe you really didn't mean it that way, but if you did...

By that logic, no Christian can call his religion a 'good' religion based on past and current issues like the 'Christian' TV spots for $$$ and those people that go around 'protesting' at soldiers' funerals.

You probably don't really know a real Muslim, and therefore make those kind of statements. Much like how they come to conclusions that you're a piggish-devilish-infidel that should be killed.

Ignorance is bad.

Now you are gaining an appreciation for why gun owners are so uncompromising.

No, there is literally nothing you can do in real world circumstances when facing an armed, reasonably knowledgable, assailant if you yourself are unarmed.

Your only chance of survival is to be armed yourself.

"should America's war against terrorism started by President Bush come to an end when he leaves office?"

Please explain your question. President Bush didn't start the WOT, he just named it.

And how does one end a war on terrorism? capitulate, or just just accept it as a daily occurrence?

Comparing islam and the hourly examples of murder, institutional rape, terror, racism and sexism to Christianity is ludicrous.

Ignorance, indeed.

My position is there needed to be way more than ten people involved with this murderous plan. Even if only for the logistics of delivering ammunition, food, and water. To coordinate, dissect the geography, and overcome so many sites certainly seems a stretch for so few terrorists. Just my $0.02.

I've seen that for a long time now, but it's not as if it gives you total control because it doesn't because you can't tote them around doing your daily thing (nor would I want to).

No, there is literally nothing you can do in real world circumstances when facing an armed, reasonably knowledgable, assailant if you yourself are unarmed.

That's the part I hate. All my life I've been a passive sheep. Somewhere late in life I found some mettle and want to fight back any way I can (unless faced with genuine martyrdom). Knowing me, I'd want to at least cuss them out :-( which good little martyrs aren't supposed to do.

I don't like to take no for an answer. Most cases it's obvious there's no way to fight back against that, but just sometimes, maybe, with prayer and quick instincts, you might see an opening and risk it even if unarmed.

Terrorism will be redefined.

Under obama’s regime we will be the terrorists.

"Under obama’s regime we will be the terrorists."

Should that "regime" be abbreviated somehow, your prediction will be reality (which is what I believe the NWO's Master Plan is.)

Actually, you can, and many do, tote guns around all the time while doing their thing. No one promises “total control,” but to be unarmed is to be totally without control.

As for exploiting hypthetical opportunities...in real life there are none. The bad guys won’t let you have one. That’s their job. Hoping for such opportunities is like running up your credit card before buying a lottery ticket.

after first executing British and American tourists As I suspected when I'd first heard about it, this is a message to the West. From the reports I've heard since, the deaths of American's, Brits and other westerners was planned and deliberate. Westerners were sought out first.

There's a message here for Barak Hussein Obama, but I doubt he's going to listen. He and his ilk believe we should simply hold hands with the terrorists and sing kumbaya.

Such a personal attack; and you don't even know me. I'll let you in on a little secret - I work in the technology field. And while at Dell (before the great 11,000 layoff this year) I worked with many engineers who were Muslim. So, yes, I have worked with many Islamics. And like any other religion you have your zealots and your lukewarm. You had Muslims who drank and went to nightclubs to pick up girls. You had Muslims who insisted that they be allowed to take time off 5x a day to do prayers while everyone else worked.

You will find no shortage of Christians who flat out condemn those people on TV demanding $$$, or those who 'sell' salvation, or those that protest funerals.

So, exactly when was the last time you heard of a band of Christians going into a group of unarmed civilians and butchering them? Do you recall any Christian groups butchering children in a school in Russia? Or maybe blowing up a school bus in Israel? How about flying planes of innocent people into buildings? Perhaps you are talking about those Christians who took over a cruise ship and executed a man in a wheelchair? Or the Olympic Christian group that kidnapped and executed athletes?

Nope, no Christians in those examples ... those were Muslims. As an FYI, the slave trade is kept alive and healthy today ... thanks again to those kind, loving and warm Muslims in Somalia. Piracy isn't the only thing they love to trade in, young girls are both fun and profitable.

So, when do you suppose the Mosques be passing the collection plate to go to help the victims in India? My Christian church is already engaged in sending help.

Where are the Muslims who are protesting this sort of action? I see no outreach of sympathy from Pakistan, no aide, nor do I hear any condemnation of this cowardly act.

Ignorance may be bad; but knowledge of a criminal sect; and harboring and protecting that sect isn't bad ... it's evil.

It would have to be a handgun then w/CCW. Nowhere in the US can you tote around an AK47 I do not think unless you are military, swat, or cop.

Probably true in most situations, never been in one thank heaven. Two men gunned down 55 dead and don't know how many wounded in that railroad terminal.

I don't want to find out but in that stairwell might have been a chance to tackle them, probably 4 there though.

It just bugs me that so few could kill so many with no one resisting or able to other than flee and hide.

Lucky for the terrorists that such is so acceptable in Washington.
