While I don't buy the "innocent muslims" aspect of this editorial, it does highlight the hypocrisy of the Arabs and others who are so critical of israel.

[germanicus]

The Israeli incursion into the West Bank is dwarfed by the Muslim on Muslim, Muslim on Christian, Muslim on Hindu and the Hindu on Muslim violence. The sad part is that Israel is the worlds favorite whipping boy. It's similar to how the media handles hate crimes in the US.

"While I don't buy the "innocent muslims" aspect of this editorial, it does highlight the hypocrisy of the Arabs and others who are so critical of israel."

Right on both counts. As I understand it, the Hindu actions are a response to the same kind of "Islamic separatist" agitation that has been going on with various atrocities commited against non-Muslims.

Under Islamic law, dhimmi (non-Muslims) are only entitled to such rights as the Muslims choose to give them for only as long as they choose to give them. In civil reparations, dhimmi are only entitled to half of the reparations due to a Muslim suffering the same loss. Similarly, if you want to loan your car to your neighbor in the States, it's no big deal...if you want to loan your car to a neighbor in Saudi Arabia (for example, while you are out of Kingdom for your re-patriation visit), you must appear in front of the Shourah court with 2 Arabic-speaking adult males, etc., etc.

In India, it isn't only Muslims who are the targets of Hindu Nationalist religious violence. We've had a brand new church there bulldozed at the instigation of a multinational company based in Great Britain and another pastor's house and car burned. He barely escaped with his life. He and some others are in hiding. Their "crime" against Hinduism? They're providing homes for aged church members.

Gee, why isn't Andrea Mitchell hystrionic about this?

Interesting sentence. What word is common to all those situations?

[ventana]

Christians around the world, oth, seem to be behaving. V's wife.

[ShadowAce]

No, No, No--You're obviously obsessed with that word. It's a religion of peace!!!

[Publius6961]

What's the outrage all about?
I say the UN fact finders should be there now.
But I don't expect any will show up any time soon, just as they never show up at the daily truly horrific events world wide.

It's a pity too. It would be a good way to solve the UN "problem".

Yeah, but if these mobs are deliberately targeting Muslim civilians, they're terrorists. The appropriate response to the train massacre is a crackdown by the Indian government to detain, try and jail or execute the terrorists -- not a rampage by a mob that indiscriminately kills families who are minding their own business.

[js1138]

Of course the Hindus have given us the caste system, proving that racism can transcend skin color.

[kapn kuek]

Wherever the muslims go there is death. It is their religion. They are reaping what that have sown.

[DooDahhhh]

Wonder why those muslims want to concentrate so hard on death and don't really see the fun of living?

[liberalism=failure]

The reason Arabs hate Israel is not because they love Palestinians. Far from it. If they did they would give them some of their own land. If they did they would condemn this, and the true massacre of 40,000 Palestinians in Jordan.

No, it's all because they can;t stand the idea of Jews (infidels) living next door to them. And that's all it is, and ever will be, about.

Wonder why those muslims want to concentrate so hard on death and don't really see the fun of living?

Ahhhh, but they do have fun living....concentrating on the death of NON-muslims.

[xm177e2]

The Muslim victims in India, just like the Hindu victims, are almost entirely innocents.

The problem is that muslems are by definition of their own holy book, terrorists. Have you ver read the koran? It commands them to kill unbelievers where ever they find them.

I think that the hindus are just acting in self defense. Perfectly legitimate. Of course it would be far better if they gave the mohammedans a week or two to convert to some other faith before they killed them. (You know, give up this terrorist religion or die.)

God Save America (Please)

Apparently the Murdering Morons of Mad Mo don't anticipate there being a murderous response to their murderous provocations. The blood of the "innocent" Moslems lies entirely on the hands of their brothers in Islame who wage this type of violence across the ENTIRE world. It is not likely the result of just the train attack but a long chain of death from the willing hands of the Moslemaniacs. There are many terrorist attacks the Moslemanatics have carried out within India in just the last year. So the Hindus (one of the least provokable religions) finally said enough is enough.

There will be no peace until the followers of Islame are beaten into submission and killed in large numbers far larger than anything we have seen so far. Islame only understands force and death so that is what it must be met with.
