The train that was attacked was filled with militant Hindu nationalists who were chanting slogans about building a Hindu temple on the site of the most revered mosque in India. They also bought food from a vendor and then refused to pay for it. When he made an issue of it, they took his daughter and held her captive on the train. The rioters were provoked.

But it's not just that incident. Some of you Indian apologists can't see beyond the small incidents that the Indian government wants you to see.

The Indian government has practiced oppression against Chrsitians, Sikhs, Muslims, Dalits, Bodos, and other minorities. According to the January 2 Washington Times, they are sponsoring terrorism in the Pakistani province of Sindh. According to India Today, tehy created teh Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

The Indian government admitted to holding 52,268 Sikh political prisoners, according to a report by the Movement Against State Repression (MASR.) Some of these have been in illegal detention since 1984! India has murdered over 200,000 Christians in Nagaland, over 250,000 Sikhs since 1984, over 75,000 Kashmiri Muslims since 1988, and tens of thousands of other minorities. According to teh Hitavada newspaper, it paid the late governor of Punjab, Surendra Nath, to foment terrorist activity in Punjab and Kashmir. About 50,000 Sikhs have been made to "disappear." Minorities of all kinds are killed in police custody.

Chrsitians are being singled out. Priests have been murdered, nuns have been raped, churches have been burned, missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons were murdered by these Hindu militants and all India does is throw his widow out of the country. A Chrsitian religious festival was broken up by police gunfire.

Does this sound like a secular democracy to you, or does it sound like Nazi Germany? Rep. Dana Rohrabacher knows. On August 2, 1999, on the floor of the House, he said that for the minorities, "India might as well be Nazi Germany."

According to India Today, tehy created teh Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

Would that be the LTTE that killed the Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi?

on the site of the most revered mosque in India

Most revered mosque in India . . . third most holy site in Islam . . . yawn. Are these rankings listed somewhere because everytime something happens it happens someplace more holy or more revered than the last?

I'm waiting for Dearborn, MI to be given an Islamic name and declared holy ground.

I refer to your post #7 specifically the comment:

India has murdered over 200,000 Christians in Nagaland

The population of Nagaland as per the latest census (2001) is 1.988 million. Yes, just 1.988 million. The population of Nagaland since the last census in 1991 has registered a more than robust 64.41% growth (up from 1.209 million).

May I say the census results do not support your statement of 200,000 dead Naga Christians as it would imply the Nagas are gifted with a fecundity that would create an inferiority complex in rabbits.
