Pakistan's Choice
IBD Editorials ^ | December 1, 2008

Terror: As India mops up from the devastating strike on its economic capital, evidence is piling up that the atrocity originated in Pakistan. Whether or not Pakistan was involved, its response better be a strong one.


At last count, Mumbai lost 174 people in a spray-shooting terror attack that raises the stakes in the war on terror. Like others before them, the enraged young nihilists struck targets that made them feel jealous and small. As a result, they tried to shake the confidence of an entire city.

India's visible prosperity since its 1991 opening to the world was evident in its grand old hotels, its transport system, its hospitals, its tourist cafes and its religious centers. Mumbai was its emblem.

Who could hate India's success so much? The lone captured terrorist was a Pakistani national. He told police he was trained as a terrorist in Pakistan.

His mission began in Karachi on Nov. 13 when he and some nine or 14 terrorists hijacked a fishing boat, murdered five fishermen, then slinked ashore by dinghy in small groups.

Although they aimed for India's proudest civilizational symbols, they also picked targets linked to the U.S. and Israel, coinciding with the targets of Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamic terrorists.

Here's a novel idea. Let's give the Pakistani government a few more billion in AID to help fight terrorism...

Get a grip... ISLAM is the cause.

Total nuclear devastation of Pakistan and Iran would top my list of Christmas wishes this year. I’ve f***ing had it with those two countries and the vile creatures that inhabit them.

Even IBD doesn't get it.

They don't hate India because she's succesful. They hate India because it's not islamic.

It's as simple as that.

How many dead-wrong assertions can one editorialist make in just one sentence fragment?

1) Enraged? No. They were calculating. Psyched, sure. Intimidating, sure.
2) Nihilists? No. islamofascists and terrorists. What idiot calls these guys nihilists? Nihilists desire chaos for chaos' sake; these guys foment chaos, to achieve terror, to achieve hegemony.
3) Feeling jealous and small? Feelings had nothing to do with it. It was calculated. Feelings are psychobabble.

And that's in just one part of one sentence. What a nimrod.

No, they hate India because they are non-Islamic, successful, and of the same ethnic stock. The only difference between successful Hindus and unsuccessful Muslims is their religions. To even the most casual observer, it is hard to ignore what that says about Islam.
