For all drooling gutless liberals trying to placate them, the placators are cannon fodder in their eyes but aren't smart enough to figure it out. http://clusty.com/search?tb=firefox-1.1.1&locale=en-US&query=Muslim%20Brotherhood

konane hi! fortunately not as I don't live in Mumbai but we've had bombscares the entire weekend, which is really not nice..my kid wanted to shop at the malls this weekend and I had to stop her.....cn't take the threats lighty either...the problem is that in our country the terrorism is funded by muslims outside India...also the govt. which is so keen to placate the ever growing muslim population for its votebank, is not willing to take firmer measures to rein in the thought process that is happily growing in India as well.....every second mosque is busy becoming a madrassa where they encourage fanaticism....in the last ten yrs I have seen our previously moderate muslim country men fuelled by a certain kind of hatred...a pity...the imams are constantly giving anti hindu, anti india tirades at their friday prayers......I wish they wouldn't do that....even their dress code has become radically conservative and islamist in the last 4-5 yrs...need I say more...go to London and you could call that country INGLISTAN !! And thank you for showing concern...appreciate it! :)... [ More ]

Shalini, really good to hear from you!! Was hoping neither you nor any of your family was impacted by the recent bombing.

I wouldn't sleep well at night if they were my neighbors, not at all. After all I'm an infidel ... all infidels exist in their crosshairs.

Hi! I personally feel Israel is justified and do not condemn their attacks on Lebanon.......I admire the jewish people of Israel...always have and always will....thram the crap out of hezbollah and other such .....what are the muslims whining about..they are far more savage and merciless in their attacks..........Syria and Iran are dangerous countries and Iran for one will not stop at anything...please remember that these people are driven by fanaticism and not reason.

I admit I am not as well informed on current events and world politics as I used to be, so many of my comments are based on emotion, although I try stay impartial. In my heart I detest all wars. I cry for every father, mother, son and daughter who has lost a loved one in all the violence. I sympathize with all the Palestinians who live in deplorable conditions under Israeli oppression. I often want to raise my voice and yell at Israel "Shame on you!" However, how can a government open its arms to those who have a deep-rooted hatred of its people and would destroy everything they love and cherish? The Palestinians live in a world where they're filled with daily propaganda promoting hatred. Beautiful children who are created by God to spread joy are being by brainwashed by radio broadcasts, videos, books and other depictions of Jews as monsters who should be murdered without compassion. Do you blame them? They are told that the wine served during the Passover service is the blood of Muslims. One newspaper described a traditional Jewish meal as being cooked in the blood of Christian and Muslim children. A couple of years ago I got upset after seeing a film showing the living conditions in the Palestinian camps. After all they are human beings. But then a pregnant Israeli woman and her children who were traveling near a Gaza settlement, including a 2 and 7 year old, were pulled from their car and murdered. Their throats were slit. Hamas, a terrorist group, took credit for the murders. They cheer and dance in the streets after babies have been slaughtered! I wonder if any of us would welcome these people as neighbors....

That is just one of the litany of reasons I've been critical of the UN and thank Pres. Bush for appointing John Bolton as US Ambassador to the UN. He just vetoed UN condemnation of Israel's present actions which I feel have been a long time coming after having used highly remarkable restraint and made every effort toward lasting peace. I personally hope Israel pounds Hezbollah into a cube then takes on whoever else comes at them. It's the only language 7th century savages un... [ More ]

Thanks for your post. The expression about how politics makes strange bedfellows certainly applies here. I rarely agree with President Bush, but when he defended Israel in discussions with Russian President Putin, I applauded him. I've heard many people blame Israel for their aggressions, when the people they are fighting are terrorists who would happily destroy everything the United States represents.
