Mumbai Terrorism Updates

Bad news from Mumbai about the hostages at the Chabad center, contradicting earlier reports that they had been freed: ’Five hostages killed at Mumbai Chabad House’.

Israel’s ZAKA rescue service earlier said five hostages and two gunmen were killed inside the center, one of 10 sites in India’s commercial capital that gunmen attacked beginning Wednesday night. The rescue service, which sent a delegation to Mumbai on Thursday, did not identify the victims. …

Israeli diplomat Haim Choshen told Israeli television by telephone from the scene that the bodies of five hostages were found Friday after Indian security forces stormed the besieged Chabad center in Mumbai.

“Five bodies of hostages have been found inside the Chabad House,” Choshen told Channel 2. “We still don’t know whose bodies.”


UPDATE at 11/28/08 8:42:39 am:

Indian authorities are saying that some of the terrorists in Mumbai were British.

Two British-born Pakistanis were among eight gunmen seized by Indian commandos who stormed buildings to free hostages, Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Mumbai, reportedly said.

The Foreign Office earlier said it was investigating reports on NDTV, a local television news channel, that the terrorists - who swarmed luxury hotels and other tourist sites in the city - included “British citizens of Pakistani origin”.

UPDATE at 11/28/08 8:55:18 am:

Some American Muslims are justifying the massacre and refusing to denounce it, and blaming it on either Israel or America.

For example: The Ignored Puzzle Pieces of Knowledge » Mumbai Attacks.

And then there’s this creep, “Yousef al-Khattab,” aka Joseph Cohen.

There isn't really any hostage situation. The people the media call hostages are intended by the terrorists as the bait with which they draw security forces into kill zones. The terrorists don't intend ever to release their captives.

The only answer is a coordinated attack with flashbang grenades, any sort of gas that the hostages might recover from, futuristic recon robots if available, and raw courage.

26 DisturbedEma  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 8:39:16am

Anyone know the history of the American Jewish population here in America during WWII?

One aspect that keeps gnawing at my brain is the fact that the reports of atrocities from Europe were met with skepticism at the worst, and activism at its best.

Two people stand out for me in that time frame- Wise and Berger.

Wise is alive and well- and Hollywood is his legacy.

If you read "A Race Against Death" you can see that there were efforts by Berger and many others, to publicize the threat to Jews in Europe.

"we will never die" was one of those productions, and along with ads in major newspapers, they were meant to bring a sense of urgency and public outcry to the growing machine of death in Europe.

What happened instead was many saw the production and the ads as hyperbole at worst, and as fiction at best. The Jewish organizations, for whatever reason, did not push for more help on immigration, and did not agitate against the closing of immigration to Jews fleeing slaughter. FDR, the foundation of Jewish support for a party that increasingly demonizes them, was deaf, blind and mute on these issues, even when his wife was at the front of the line calling for help for Jews in Europe, he did nothing until it was already too late.

Basically, American Jews were either unwilling or unable to understand and act on the reality of the Shoah. Secure in their countries and in their lives, they could not, would not fathom the barbarity, much like their European counterparts, but with the same deadly consequences- firm in their belief that such stories were false, or overblown.

The upshot? I think I know where my concentration camp nightmares are coming from.


Hollywood and mass media are content to make films that demonize the U.S. for fighting evil, , and glorify the causes of those who target Jews, Americans, and others, safe in the "knowledge" that they are safe. With the "absolution" (as a Jew, I am not sure if I used this word correctly. . .) of the one's election, they, those who write the narratives, and report the news are selling a whole new brand of denial. . .moral relativism is now the rage.

When people question their integrity or their bias, Hollywood is quick to point out how many of "them" are making the films. . .did anyone see Munich? And the cycle continues. We are being told constantly that OTHER factors are to blame, not evil or irrational pathological hate, and worse yet, a new president that also downplays and worse, the real threat of evil. . .they just need a good talking to. . .and they will stop machine gunning women and children to death. . .yeah right.

If you do not know much about Chabad, know this, no matter what their internal squabbles, they are, down to the last, a decent sort of people, and I have had my life touched by them on more than one occasion. Chabad House gave me a place to live, and helped me get back on my feet, along with my family, and I give to them without fail.

They are the personification of Chesid. . .and my heart aches

Somebodies situational analysis needs to be completely overhauled.
If the Jews were dead all along, the NSG didn't need to be so cautious nor to take such risks with their people.
If the rabbi and his household weren't dead from the beginning, the NSG needs to determine when they died, and how the NSG could have determined that when it happened.
Or just make sure the terrorists die badly at a minimum risk to the NSG troops. (that is a political decision).

Maybe he'll leave Gitmo where it is, but just nuance it a little. For example, he could appoint a special Human Rights Ombudsman to go over there and make sure that everything is cozy and happy for the detainees.

I'm sure the entire world would rise up and applaud together, happy that all of the evils of the Bush administration had been erased (even though nothing had changed at all).

Not trying to second guess- but I am thinking that the hostages were not hostages at all, they were fatalities from the get go, based on the way the attack started- they were trying to take out as many of the Indian soldiers as possible, and die in the process. . .
The Jews at Chabad did not have a chance. . .

Young Indians strive to raise themselves and their country from poverty and ancient hatreds. They have real ambition and energy to grow themselves a bright future.

Millionaire moonbat sel-help-guru blames America

Chopra: What we have seen in Mumbai has been brewing for a long time, and the war on terrorism and the attack on Iraq compounded the situation. What we call "collateral damage" and going after the wrong people actually turns moderates into extremists, and that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay. Now the worst thing that could happen is there's a backlash on the Muslims from the fundamental Hindus in India, which then will perpetuate the problem. Inflammation will create more inflammation.

CNN: Let me jump in on that because you're presuming something very important, which is that it's Muslims who have carried out these attacks and, in some cases, with Washington in their sights.

Chopra: Ultimately the message is always toward Washington because it's also the perception that Washington, in their way, directly or indirectly funds both sides of the war on terror. They fund our side, then our petrol dollars going to Saudi Arabia through Pakistan and ultimately these terrorist groups, which are very organized. You know Jonathan, it takes a lot of money to do this. It takes a lot of organization to do this. Where's the money coming from, you know? The money is coming from the vested interests. I'm not talking about conspiracy theories, but what happens is, our policies, our foreign policies, actually perpetuate this problem. Because, you know, 25% of the world's population is Muslim and they're the fastest growing segment of the population of the world. The more we alienate the Muslim population, the more the moderates are likely to become extremists.

Doesn't this idiot give Muslims responsibility for their own actions? Does it not occur to him the rising anti-Muslim sentiment in the world is the direct consequence of 2 problems:

1. Islamic terrorism
2. Denial of terrorism by Muslims

If Muslims around the world would seriously address the 2nd probem, the threat of the 1st problem would be seriously diminished.

115 Cato the Elder  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 9:01:57am

Meanwhile, over at CNN.com, they have an article explaining why the Indian Muslims are all cheesed off and basically finding reasons and justifications for terrorism.

Money quote:

Still, many South Asian Muslims insist Islam is the one and only force that can bring the subcontinent together and return it to preeminence as a single whole. "We [Muslims] were the legal rulers of India, and in 1857 the British took that away from us," says Tarik Jan, a gentle-mannered scholar at Islamabad's Institute of Policy Studies. "In 1947 they should have given that back to the Muslims." Jan is no militant, but he pines for the golden era of the Mughal period in the 1700s, and has a fervent desire to see India, Pakistan and Bangladesh reunited under Islamic rule.

The Mughal muslims were a minority in India, except for those parts which later became Pakistan, ruling over the majority of Hindus and other Indians. And this guy thinks the exiting Brits should have handed minority control back to the Muslims. I wonder how that would have played out.

And they're still hoping "fervently" to reascend to power - as a minority. And if they can't, they'll just keep blowing things up and shooting and burning until ... ? I shudder at the future.

"His principle of peace was bogus."

Year 2000 Time Asia interview with Gopal Godse, co-conspirator and brother of the assassin of Mohandas Ghandi...

I found these quotes to be particularly telling and relevant:

TIME: Why did you want to kill Gandhi?
Godse: Gandhi was a hypocrite. Even after the massacre of the Hindus by the Muslims, he was happy. The more the massacres of the Hindus, the taller his flag of secularism.

TIME: Many people think Gandhi deserved to be nominated TIME's Person of the Century. [He was one of two runners-up, after Albert Einstein.]
Godse: I name him the most cruel person for Hindus in India. The most cruel person! That is how I term him.

TIME: Is that why Gandhi had to die?
Godse: Yes. For months he was advising Hindus that they must never be angry with the Muslims. What sort of ahimsa (non-violence) is this? His principle of peace was bogus. In any free country, a person like him would be shot dead officially because he was encouraging the Muslims to kill Hindus.

TIME: But his philosophy was of turning the other cheek. He felt one person had to stop the cycle of violence...
Godse: The world does not work that way.

The Jewish community has my full support and prayers, and as a Christian know where my loyalties lie. I do believe it's time for Israel to take the gloves off, we will fight with you if allowed. G-D bless those who die to sadistic hatred from subhumans.

re: #39 Walter L. Newton

I hope you were joking because there WAS a stampede at a Wal-Mart this morning on Long Island, and one employee was (allegedly) trampled to death.

There is a widespread belief among Pakistanis that the 'Jews are responsible for the conflict in Kashmir.' Part of the lie that never dies, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" transformed into "The International Jew" by Henry Ford, Sr. in the early 1920's.

Mumbai's Chabad House was a deliberate target. Now the rest of Indian Jews who have been living in India will make Aliyah to Israel, along with those Iraqi Jews who chose India in the 1970's after expulsion by Hussein.

Some problems can never be solved, only managed.

And history is always repeated, especially when it comes to Jews.

May the rabbi and his wife be remembered for their goodness, and their son grow into a strong Jewish man.

Now the rush really starts. Even though our Christmas show has been open for three weeks, things get really busy starting tonight.

You should see all the "holiday giving" attitude as our patrons try body slamming each other trying to grab the best seats in the theatre (general admission, no reserved seats). There is not a single seat in the house that is more than 20 feet from the stage (136 seats on three sides of the stage), but you would think it was a Beatles concert.

re: #107 big L
With respect big L - it doesn't matter how much security hotels have - or any place else for that matter.
These murderers are just that. Put more security guards there, more security guards will be shot or blown up.
We - the so called civilized world - have to go on the attack against the terrorists. And yes, that means things like FISA, warrantless searches of genuine suspects (not just folks who are Muslims) and, if needs be, going into countries that provide safe haven's for these scumbags.
THAT'S WHY there hasn't been another 9/11 here - we took away, by force, Al-Q's safe haven in Afghanistan, suckered them into fights they couldn't win in Iraq, and killed them by the truck loads in both places, kept them on the run and made it impossible for them to recruit, train, arm and plan out attacks and now they're stuck in the NW Frontier provinces of Pakistan (and probably other places I don't know about) - we kept 'em on the run, kept killing their #2's and #3's, disrupted their communications, took away a LOT of their money and ultimately did what we had to do: killed them like the mad dogs they are.
We obviously need to do more of that and faster.

And we cannot go after the wrong people, as we did after 9/11, because then the whole collateral damage that occurs actually aggravates the situation.

Mumbai attacks "senseless and inexcusable": US Muslims' body

An Islamic civil rights group in America has condemned the "senseless and inexcusable" terror attacks in Mumbai, while asking the Indian government to protect its citizens from possible retaliatory violence.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an advocacy group for Muslims, said the "cowardly attacks" were "senseless and inexcusable acts of violence against innocent civilians".

"American Muslims stand with our fellow citizens of all faith in repudiating acts of terror wherever they take place and whomever they target," CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad said.

The Washington-based group, in a statement also asked the Indian government to protect its citizens from any retaliatory attacks that might take place following the incident.

re: #40 Jhn1

I agree with you. This was a security response malpractice.
It is axiomatic that in a hostage situation the security response must be all out as soon as the security forces engage the bad guys. Even the Germans followed that at Munich, except that their implementation was faulty.
The news reports today indicate that Indian PM Singh turned down Pres. Bush's offers to send anti- terror teams. The Indians also turned down a similar offer from the Israelis.


It is likely that the Rabbi and his wife were killed on Wednesday, but the other three hostage could have been saved.

I think the Indian government owes their family an apology.

Parenthetically, I find despicable that the crowds aroud the Chabad House cheered the "successful" operation this morning, when it was a total failure.It took 48 plus hours to dispatch 2 terrorists? A NYC swat team would have resolved this in 6 hours, and may have even saved some hostages.

Barack Obama’s plan to enlist Pakistan in the fight against al-Qaeda in exchange for improving its relations with India has become one of the potential casualties in Mumbai.


Pakistan is fighting Al Qaeda already, it's the Taliban they're squishy on. India must love that Obama's going to fix this unfixable problem.

It is true we haven't seen terrorist attacks on the scale of 9/11 in the U.S., but there have been minor incidences of 'sudden jihad syndrome' that have popped up here and there. I hope Obama isn't as weak a leader as he has already projected to the world that he is.

Then why are these other Muslims not making more of a presence AGAINST those that sully their religion?

I understand what you are doing, and yes, it is probably based in some truth- but as the death toll grows, and WOMEN AND CHILDREN are the targets. . .where are these OTHER Muslims you speak of? Why are they silent?

They get no pass from me- if their religion is so damn important to them, why are they so quiet as people soak it in blood. . .literally the blood of children and women. . .

They do not, because their religion isnt being sullied. Whether they participate in or support violent jihad or not, they all agree with the goals of the violent jihadist, and that goal is a world wide Caliphate.

However, Mr Singh blamed "external forces" for the violence - a phrase sometimes used to refer to Pakistani militants, whom Indian authorities often blame for attacks.

The country's foreign minister was more explicit.

"According to preliminary information, some elements in Pakistan are responsible," Pranab Mukherjee said.

I mantain my theory that this was a Pakistani operation to way lay India's economic growth. The anti-Indian hatred is just the sort of crap that a London Iman would do the Friday rant on. The India moon launch has driven Pakistanis to mouth-foaming rabidness.

re: #217 littleben

I agree with you. This was a security response malpractice.
It is axiomatic that in a hostage situation the security response must be all out as soon as the security forces engage the bad guys. Even the Germans followed that at Munich, except that their implementation was faulty.
The news reports today indicate that Indian PM Singh turned down Pres. Bush's offers to send anti- terror teams. The Indians also turned down a similar offer from the Israelis.


It is likely that the Rabbi and his wife were killed on Wednesday, but the other three hostage could have been saved.

I think the Indian government owes their family an apology.

Parenthetically, I find despicable that the crowds aroud the Chabad House cheered the "successful" operation this morning, when it was a total failure.It took 48 plus hours to dispatch 2 terrorists? A NYC swat team would have resolved this in 6 hours, and may have even saved some hostages.

Yeah. I think we in America are spoiled rotten. We have world-class - heck - universe class SWAT and anti-terrorist teams. Things wrap up quickly because of that. Thank you American policemen. Thank you President Bush.

Given that this thing unfolded into a nightmare of huge proportions, I STILL think we'd have done better. That they turned down help is unreal. Who turns down help from experts, unless it is due to pride? Pride goeth before a fall.

OK, now I'm back to thinking this isn't an Al Qaeda operation but rather an internal fight between Indian Muslims and Hindu's, with of course help from Pakistani terrorists. Nevertheless it all comes back to Pakistan and the Tribal Areas. Someone needs to clean up those provinces and it doesn't seem that the Pakistanis have will or ability to do so.

This could still be an al Qaeda financed op, even if only in part. Or even just an al Qaeda sanctioned one. Jihadi operations are enjoyed by the leadership because it is yet another blow to the infidels.

You are no racist, but there is no such thing as a good and reasonable Muslim.

Muslims can be good or they can be reasonable, they cannot possibly be both. Islam is a sick cult which is murderous and insane right down to the core of its formative documents and its founder. If a Muslim is good, it is because he is not reasonable and does not comprehend what his so-called religion stands for. If a Muslim is reasonable, he is not good because he sees the mandate in the koran to convert, enslave or murder anyone who does not believe that an insane, anti-Semitic, homicidal pedophile named Mohammed is the mouthpiece for the Almighty. Yet he continues to be Muslim.

Islam has not been hijacked by terrorism, Islam is terrorism. Terrorists are not the extremists of Islam, they are the true face of Islam.

That sounds just a tiny bit like 20/20 hindsight.

Please do recall that the Indian Forces did not know how many terrorists were around, that there were attacks at the main railway station and at hospitals as well, and that both the huge hotels were actually on fire while this was going on.

And above all, please do keep in mind that the Head of the Indian anti-terrorist forces was killed, as were his two top assistants, on Wednesday night. A heavy blow for any force.

Also keep in mind that this was not just a few terrorists holed up with some hostages, in one location, and making demands - these were terrorists roaming the hotels and in fact the streets of Mumbai, like cobat troops.

So while criticism is easy, I think under these circumstances the Indian forces did extremely well, with less loss of life of innocent bystanders than might have been the case if they went in everywhere regardless.

It is not even "groups" as such, if you read Huntington or Lewis. Sharia law and Arab/Islamic culture simply allows no groups other than Islam, with the partial exception of family/tribal relationships. It is a religious compulsion, nothing between the individual and Allah, and besides, the groups are not mentioned in the Koran.

Granted, it was an English speaking, hyperventilating Indian journalist. It was sometimes hard for me to follow, but I distinctly heard the use of the term "IDF commandos" involved in some "action".

Through your post I ended up Jawa report who quoted Bilal from [Link: www.islam4uk.com...] :

"It was pleasantly refreshing to hear they targeted Chabad Lubavitch. Allah will destroy His enemies wherever they are in the world. You will know when the Muslims have ignited in an insurrection when there is blood on the streets of London and New York like there is blood on the streets of Fallujah (and Mumbai). There is nowhere they can hide from the wrath of Allah and His soldiers."

Sickening! I was wondering what else this website provides us. Enjoy:

"Walaa and Baraa is a part of Usul ud Deen, not an issue of hatred to the kuffar, we hate the kuffar as a matter of Deen for the sake of Allah (swt), it is nothing personal. We do not hate the jews for their noses or the way they look; Allah (swt) is the one who created their looks, our hate for them is for the sake of Allah alone."

and:

"The vast majority of terrorists in the world today are not Muslims – they are fundamentalist Christians and Jews. At present, we are witnessing international terrorism carried out and encouraged by non-Muslims on a mass scale against thousands of innocent Muslim men, women and children in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Even in the UK, Muslims are being targeted and terrorised by draconian laws, police brutality and indiscriminate raids and arrests."

and:

"There are many enemies of the Muslimah ranging from the Shaytaan to the Jews, Christians, Mushriks and secularists, who carry the same aim which is to poison her mind with the filth and oppression that the Western woman faces today. Under the guise of liberty and freedom, the Muslim woman is preyed upon by the media and various educational institutes as well as the national curriculum, from a very young age. With this, several strategies and tools are used as conspiracies to poison her mind so that she is no longer happy with her primary roles, such as being a mother or housewife; rather, she too wants to be subjected to humiliation and degradation in the current society in which we live."

If by moderate Muslim you mean one who does not support the establishment of a world wide Caliphate or the implementation of Sharia law, then no there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

This is really tragic. And the response by the Indian politicians has been shameful and demonstrates the inadequate resources & planning they've allocated towards their "homeland security" while they've been flush with cash the past few years. While the deployment of the military and the national security guard ultimately restored sanity, this (admittedly complex) situation has exposed India's pathetic intelligence, political inaction, and lack of a substantive crisis response mechanism.
Mumbai's top three anti-terrorist cops traveled in the same vehicle to the site without back-up and when they were killed, it created a leadership vacuum. And no shocker that they're excessively reliant on their army. And ironically, the Indian government pays its soldiers less than their civilian counter-parts because the soldiers are deemed to be "inferior" as the IAS bureaucrat lobby and the pay commission contends. This, after the Indian army keeps bailing India out of multiple rough situations (wars, domestic terrorism in Punjab/Nagaland, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, routine riots, etc, etc).
Makes me appreciate the work W & Cheney have put in to keep America safe after 9/11.

re: #433 doriangrey

It depend entirely how you want to define moderate. If by moderate you mean, one that will subvert your society slowly and quietly until they institute Sharia law and then ask you to submit to Islam by either converting or paying the dhimni tax or be publicly executed for treason to the Caliphate, well then I guess there is such a thing as a moderate Muslim.

If by moderate Muslim you mean one who does not support the establishment of a world wide Caliphate or the implementation of Sharia law, then no there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.

So- then, a Moderate Muslim is one who 1. Has not committed and overt terrorist act and 2. Will not praise the attack as pleasantly surprising and 3. Assumed to be out there. . .somewhere. . .the silent majority, like the ones who were supposed to elect McCain over dear nonleader. . .

re: #347 sattv4u2 I certainly understand what your saying - not advocating, mind you, just saying, but I think something like that could also be a tipping point for the millions and millions of Muslims who have NOT taken part in or supported the Jihadist terrorists.
Plus, while such a backlash might be understandable, it would still be the moral equivalent of what the Jihadists do: Murder innocent men, women and children just for the hell of it and from the jihadists' pov, to maybe terrorize the civilized world into allowing the next, new, Caliphate.

FYI, the DOW closed up about 99 points on the day.

This is the first 5 day straight raise in the DOW since the summer of 2007, and he best percentage rise in the DOW over 5 days since 1933.

Mortgage rates are down in the %.25 to5.75% range and refinancings are the busiest they've been in a long time.

re: #398 LindaMarie

There is an essential unquestioning defensiveness at the heart of Islam which has permeated their culture & hence, their psychology. Muslims will not engage in self-criticism, especially when talking with non-Muslims. In everyday life, I have met some very nice "moderate" Muslims. But very unlike the average Canadian, they will never engage in even light-hearted self-depreciating humor. It's never funny to accept blame. They will blame others, tools, time, traffic, rules & regulations, anything, but they will never say, "I screwed up".

Bernard Lewis wrote about this psychology in his book "What Went Wrong?" When confronted with problems, time and again, instead of answering that question with the assessment "We must have made a mistake", Muslim society has always responded with, "Who did this to us?"

Too true, that would be an explanation for targeting the Americans, Brits, and Jews. The actual terrorists seem to be acting in retaliation to attacks on Muslims in India but they aren't all Indian. In any case the WOT isn't just about Al Qaeda and the Taliban, it's about all jihadists including our own homegrown Sudden Jihad Syndrome imbeciles that CAIR says doesn't exist.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim, only Muslims who are not directly engaging in violent jihad. All Muslims, period, support a world wide Caliphate.

That's just wrong. There are about a billion Muslims in the world, and they have widely varying opinions and values. There are plenty of moderate Muslims in the world who are sickened by genocidal terrorism, and who are wholly deserving of participation in modern human civilization. By "plenty" I mean many millions. They're largely without any national or international political organization, and they lack the effectively infinite funding that Saudis and other oil-rich scum provide to the jihadists. I am increasingly convinced that moderate Muslims constitute only a small minority of the world's Muslims. Nevertheless, there are many millions of them, and it is wrong to automatically put any Muslim whom one meets in the same category as the murderers who are now terrorizing Mumbai.

Well

OK, now I'm back to thinking this isn't an Al Qaeda operation but rather an internal fight between Indian Muslims and Hindu's, with of course help from Pakistani terrorists. Nevertheless it all comes back to Pakistan and the Tribal Areas. Someone needs to clean up those provinces and it doesn't seem that the Pakistanis have will or ability to do so.

I agree with you about this not being an Al-Q op, but they may have helped plan it out, but those tribal regions are really not so easy to control. They have been truly autonomous since long before Pakistan was a nation. I think the BEST thing the Paki's could do, would be to tell the US and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan "Go ahead and do what you have to do there - we'll just verbally bitch and moan about it, but will privately thank you very, very much."

You sir, know nothing what so ever of which you speak... You make the mistake of thinking that Islam is anything even remotely resembling any of the worlds other religions. IT IS NOT. To be a Muslim is to be engaged in Jihad to establish a world wide Caliphate, PERIOD... It is their single most important theological tenet. ALL Muslims must do this or they are apostates. Their actions do not have to be violent, but they MUST engage in the struggle to submit the entire population of the earth to Islam.

Ya know, I had this good Muslim/Bad Muslim debate on here about a year ago. He seemed like a college kid & had all of the cliches, like "I feel sorry fro you, 'I have lots of Muslim friends, blah, blah , blah"
So I asked him if he ever discuseed whether his Muslim Friends loyalty rested with this country, or the Ummaah. I asked him three times & he refused to answer
I took that as an answer in itself.

It's times like this that I feel very disconnected without a TV. Were they killed incidentally in a firefight or were they ambushed? If they were ambushed I would say the likelihood of ISI involvement just went up.

Apparently this Anti-terrorist head was a 'follow-me' sort of commander - he went in with his people, into the Taj Mahal, Wednesday night.
But since yesterday, tehre have been no more reports. understandable, as stuff is still going on.
Oh - and two of the commandos getting into the Jewish compound. attempting to free the Jewish hostages, also got killed, according to the 'Times of India' earlier today.

It has been said, there is no "moderate Islam", but there are moderate Muslims. Meaning, Muslim who are not so thorough or intense in the application of Islam in their lives.

I disagree. That is like being a little bit pregnant. If you disagree with any part of Islam or the Koran, the Umma does not classify you as a "Muslim". We may approve of the term "Moderate Muslim", but in the world of Islam they are apostates.

They have never specifically condemned any terrorist acts committed by Muslims. If pressed, they will claim the attackers are "not real Muslims."

re: #458 Kenneth

There is an essential unquestioning defensiveness at the heart of Islam which has permeated their culture & hence, their psychology. Muslims will not engage in self-criticism, especially when talking with non-Muslims. In everyday life, I have met some very nice "moderate" Muslims. But very unlike the average Canadian, they will never engage in even light-hearted self-depreciating humor. It's never funny to accept blame. They will blame others, tools, time, traffic, rules & regulations, anything, but they will never say, "I screwed up".

Bernard Lewis wrote about this psychology in his book "What Went Wrong?" When confronted with problems, time and again, instead of answering that question with the assessment "We must have made a mistake", Muslim society has always responded with, "Who did this to us?"

You got that right - the culture of shame.
If no one knows I did it - it did not happen. Deal with it everyday.
For a Muslim to say they made a mistake is rare. It is not in the culture or the religion. Sad but true.

On CNN there's on right now a former swat leader -- Howard Robertson -- and he's noting all the mistakes which were being made by the Mumbai police (that was on the first day of the terrorist rampage). He watched how the Indian police were running around with weapons, oblivious to how they were holding the rifles...He noted how ill trained they were (again, India is not a First World nation)...Another problem for the later commando units -- they didn't have layouts for the hotels! (no blueprints -- no knowledge about where entrance and exit points were, how rooms were arranged, etc, etc.) This may have been what accounted for the length of time and how crippled these commando teams have been -- lacking this kind of basic info makes their job difficult to impossible...

re: #419 ploome hineni

Yes, by the fundamentalists. But the moderates call the fundamentalists ignorant bigots who don't understand what the "true religions" is really about. It gets down to an argument between literalists (the fundamentalists) and non-literalists (moderates and modernists).

The literalists point out that a central dictate of Islam is that you cannot re-interpret the Koran. The moderates point out that the Koran alone is not enough to run a society and so it must be enlarged upon and that the fundamentalists have always engaged in interpretation supporting their extremist point of view, anyway. At this point the fundamentalists try to kill the moderates.

This internal struggle has been raging inside Islam ever since Mohammad died. In modern times, this struggle has given us the Muslim Brotherhood & Al Qaeda. Their primary enemy is not the West, but the moderates or apostates in the ummah. The West was drawn into this fight by Al Qaeda as a means to polarize the ummah.

re: #508 kansas

Yeah. There are several new Mosques here in my area and the Muslims are always out protesting terrorism and going on TV and writing letters to the editor about how they oppose it. Oh wait...I made that up.

I too am infuriated by the almost complete failure of Muslims in America to speak up against the barbarity in their religion. Don't misunderstand me. The great majority of American mosques, about 80%, were built by Saudi money, and require that only radical, hateful, violence-inciting imams may preach in them. I personally feel that every mosque in America should be carefully investigated, most should lose their tax-exempt status, and most of their imams should be deported. And every mosque, regardless of who built it, should be routinely inspected by FBI agents, looking for both weapons and violence-inciting literature. I think that, for now, there should be an absolute halt to immigration to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I also feel that Muslims and people from predominantly Muslim countries should subjected to extra scrutiny when boarding commercial airplanes. If I were a Muslim, I would react to a courteous, professionally performed extra inspection not with outrage, but with a sad recognition that the horrific actions of my fellow Muslims have made this necessary.

Moderate Muslims in America, as elsewhere in the world, are not the ones with the money, power, and organization. They are nearly silent, and nearly invisible. They should be deeply ashamed that the sum total of Muslim voices raised against jihad amounts to nearly zero. Nevertheless, they do exist.

Tracking the rich tradition of Jews in India.
Post Date Friday, November 28, 2008

By the way, Oberoi is Sikh - the other religion persecuted by Political Islam.

And lets not forget the Hindus, the Indians mowed down by the terrorists emptying their guns into the crowds at the main railway station in Mumbai. That took place at the same time as the attacks on the tourist restaurant, 'Leopold', the two big hotels, and the Jewish Centre.
More Indians died than all foreigners together ...

Because, where ever he is, he needs to be watched like a hawk.

(Sure, us, too. We're not ''racists, you know.)
Muslims of "British'' origin were involved.
Let it set in that they DON'T assimilate.

I know Muslims who are good people.

That doesn't make Islam a decent religion. In this day and age, when pretty much every other religion is trying to get along, Islam wants to create the Ummah and slaughter those who live in Dar al-Islam. Some Muslims may not be in with that program, but it is an intrinsic part of their religion.

They need to update the religion. Unfortunately, the guys that came after Mohammed slammed the Muslims who wanted to do so. I do admire those Muslims who go public in trying to modernize and ditch the bad parts, but they are in a tiny minority.

The majority of Muslims I have met are either MINOs or atheists.

This is a tough one I've been working on. I see how hard the 'patriarchal' mentality has flourished in modern day 'christianity' for so long that only recently, IMHO, has it become more of a 'Male = Female' relationship. Yet you still have some groups where the woman should be in subjugation to the 'man', etc.

The Middle East has a culture of rampant 'patriarchy' dominance, now couple that with a book that is, again IMHO, a lot more questionable in divinity than the Bible, and I beleive that we are going to see a lot of growing 'pains' in the 'culture' war... I don't know if it is even possible for that 'renaissance' to happen, if it does, it is at least a couple of hundred years out and that is even with 'grassroot' movements from within Islam fighting their own system and questioning their own authority.

I hope I am wrong and that it can happen quicker...

For all those wondering why it's so hard to get a straight answer out of a Muslim about condemning terrorist attacks, consider the following quote by Muhammed himself:

“Lying is wrong, except in three things: the lie of a man to his wife to make her content with him; a lie to an enemy, for war is deception; or a lie to settle trouble between people”

Double Tap has a very revealing video about the nature of Islam's practice of Taqiyya which, loosely translated, means "to bullshit".

637 Mich-again  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 10:44:12am

There is a statement from Britain's most celebrated terrorist recruiters, Anjem Choudhary. Question: Why does the UK put up with him?

Meanwhile, jihadists in the UK -- like their stealth jihadist brethren stateside -- claim victim status and claim anti-Muslim bias in news coverage:

"But firebrand British-based Muslim preacher Anjem Choudhary backed the terrorists and said any Britons killed or held hostage were legitimate targets because they should not have gone to India.

Choudhary, right-hand man to preacher of hate Omar Bakri, said Britain and America is at war with the Muslim world and their citizens must keep off the battlefield.

'Muslims are being killed in Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan every day through acts of atrocity against them. But the media only report events like Mumbai.'"

re: #472 notutopia

Do they read the text of Islam? If not, how are they really muslim?

The Koran is written in medieval Arabic. Most Muslims do not speak or read any Arabic. Even most Arabs are illiterate or semi-literate and cannot understand the Koran. They listen to the imams recite the Koran, and the khutbahs, or sermons, in the local dialect, and they accept them as authoritative. To be Muslim is to accept Mohammad as the Prophet, the Koran as the Word of Allah (even if you don't know what it means), to pray in the proscribed way and to do as the imam tells you.

Which means if you are in the mosque with a radical Imam then you are in for one indoctrination mindjob...

I personally know a pakistani who doesn't speak any Arabic and doesn't know what he is being told at Mosque yet he forces himself to read the Koran in Arabic, since to be a 'true believer' one must read the Koran in Arabic... that is most likely a good thing at the end of the day...heaven forbid he reads the book in Uurdu...(or however the language is spelled...)

The Taliban, Al Qaeda and the ISI all have something to gain from the Mumbai attacks. The new Pakistani president, Zardari, has been trying to purge the ISI of Taliban and Al Qaeda sympathizers; this tragedy, and the India-Pakistan tension fallout certain to ensue, could distract his attention from this task. Also it will prompt Pakistan to keep the lion's share of their troops, and their best ones, on their eastern border with India, and away from the western tribal territories, and even move more there, thus easing pressures on the Taliban and Al Qaeda elements there who have lately been receiving assaults from the Pakistani army.

Fog of war, methinks.
Yes, definitely a security fiasco, as apparently there were warnigns that terrorists might attack from the sea, in July.
As to the anti-terror head: obviously he was local, when he got killed i doubt people had an inkling about the extent of this attack, and about the totally different strategy. Tehse were not the usual suicide bombers who go in and blow up a huge truck and themselves to get maximum damage.
These were commando-like raids, made by what looks like well-trained terrorists. Rumors on Wednesday night had it that 16 teams were roaming Mumbai ...
I'm just very wary of condemning the Indian security forces a priori, on the say-so of some stressed-out tourists, before I condemn the men who went in, and paid with their lives, out of hand.

re: #618 Cattt

I believe the discussion is going in circles, of course there must be decent people among 1 billion, that's out of the question.
The real issue is what Islam really represents.

One could also argue, though, that killing the top anti-terror chief in Mumbai (early on) may have been done as much for its psychological impact as opposed to any actual tactical relevance...thus, the terrorists could assert that even the top officials in the Mumbai police force were "no match" for the terrorists (ie police were easy prey and vulnerable).

re: #666 pre-Boomer Marine brat

(continuing with my own 2 cents) ... And, in that illiterate form, Islam has little to do with deepening the spirituality of its followers. Rather, it is absorbed with, and corrupted by, issues of governance and control.

That raises a very interesting issue! The Koran is asserted to be the whole and complete guide to society, including governance. The problem is, it says almost nothing about governance. So the early Muslim leaders made up some new rules and found or created hadiths to support their political agendas. The Muslim people, & especially the Arabs, have always had a nomad's cynical attitude towards politicians & government. That may be one of the reasons their governments have almost always been corrupt & ineffectual: nobody ever expects anything better of them.

re: #678 2by2

I believe the discussion is going in circles, of course there must be decent people among 1 billion, that's out of the question.
The real issue is what Islam really represents.
Islam is more than a religion, it is a political system, a way to set up government in the name of religion, a militant movement with the goal to subdue the entire world to it's principles. There is no way out, it doesn't really matter whether there are 'good people' among them, what matters is that the declared goal (Endloesung) is that the planet we all inhibit becomes governed by sharia law.

We need to take the clues from Sept 11 1683, after that, they kept quiet for about 300 years.

The problem is that sooo many people are either completely incapable of or completely unwilling to understand that regardless of whether a Muslim participates in violent jihad or not, they all 100 percent accept and are working for the goal of the violent jihadists. That goal is represented by the very meaning of the word Islam. That word is SUBMISSION... As in the entire world MUST submit to Islam. And those who refuse MUST DIE...

I must say that I agree with you. And I also must say that my two Pakistani friends down here (one of whom has been a US Citizen for about 15-20 years now but still goes home to see his mother and family once a year) have very freely criticized the Pakistani governments for their lax attitude towards jihadists, but they have also told me that "NO ONE has EVER controlled the NW Frontier Provinces except the Warlords there for hundreds of years".

Thank you for posting that. At the risk of perpetuating a controversial line of argument that has earned me some flames, it is important to remember that there are Pakistanis who absolutely abhor jihadist violence, and desperately want to get the hell out of their cesspool of a country and get away from it.

It's also important to remember how many of them there are. In the most recent Pew Global Attitudes survey, the percentage of Pakistanis who expressed their disapproval of Osama bin Laden was 6%.

Oh, and it ain't PC that informs my hatred of the word.

I know that.
Here are some other previously hated insults:
1. imbecile
2. moron
3. idiot
All are former medical diagnoses which are now commonly used as insults. The reason they are no longer "hated" is that these terms are no longer used as medical diagnoses. Over time these terms were "hated" enough that they were replaced with other medical terms.

I expect that the same thing will happen with the term "retarded". It will eventually no longer be used as a medical term but will instead be completely replaced with "mentally challenged" or "intellectually disabled".

Once that happens, noone will care any more if "retard" is used as an insult.

How strange. Whatever happened to fairness? Whatever happened to learning about all sides? Why can students make up their own minds about evolution, but not about how to protect themselves from STDs?

That is a very interesting topic... and dangerous! The historicism of the Koran is deeply threatening to Islamists. The "official" line is that the Koran appeared hollus-bollus in it's complete form and has remained unchanged ever since. This is at the heart of the concept of the un-reformable, un-interpretable book. Too bad the myth is false. If more Muslims learn the truth, that the Koran was not finalized until a century or more after Mo's death and that it was substantially revised and edited, then the possibility of reform becomes possible.

I have little time to post, as soon the family and some friends will be arriving for a Shabbat/Thanksgiving dinner.

This intentional massacre of the Jews in Chabad House by the cult of islam, who had to have specifically targeted it has had me in tears most of the day, after a night that I must have woken up every 30 min., in case there was a radio bulletin. We were praying and hoping until the announcement that somehow Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg HY"D would survive...I cannot even begin to imagine what it will be like for the 18-month old son, who was saved by his Indian nanny. May G-d bless her.

The murdered couple were only in their 20's. Their parents flew to Mumbai, from Israel, yesterday...as the Sabbath began hours ago there, I cannot imagine what they are going through, with what happened that will forever change their lives. Here is information on the couple,etc., as a lot of misinformation has been given on TV and radio.

774 Zimriel  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 11:19:41am

Islam is what you get when you combine Judaism's idea of a code of law derived from God with Christianity's idea that worship of this God needs to be evangelised. Repairing the World under the Rule of God, one might say.

The Jewish and Christian positions cannot be reconciled without compromise. Jews don't care if non-Jews follow another set of laws. Christianity explicitly does not demand allegiance to the Jewish code of law; by extension, it views laws as secular. There are various ways in which these two models have interacted around one another: the ghetto system in which Jews practice their law in total isolation, the secular system in which Jews are barred from carrying out criminal punishments like stonings but allowed to carry out their cultural obligations elsewhere, etc. Since Jews nowadays aren't notably nostalgic about stoning people anyway, the secular model (practiced in the US) seems to be working pretty well.

Islam rejects the rabbinic compromise. Also, it is based on the Qur'an, the Qur'an includes sura 9, and that sura demands the ghetto model (the dhimmat, including the jizya humiliation-tax).

It's similar, but not identical. A major difference is that when Luther began the Reformation, he had a large ready populace angry at the Catholic Church and ready to rebel. He also had political leaders in northern Europe who wanted an excuse to assert political autonomy from Rome. Those conditions do not exist today in the Muslim world.

re: #706 yma o hyd

It also struck me as extremely odd that a 9/11 comparison would be drawn...and I'm wondering who started that? was it some CNN "reporter"? or someone else? I've heard the comparison made to 9/11 by an Indian politician -- but I believe the Indian politician was using this phrase for its political impact. I think that the 200 (approx) Indians who died due to the train bombings in Mumbai in 2006, I believe, they say that this was done so as to create waves of friction between the Hindu and Muslim communities...the terrorists wanted to see the two communities going after one another (as has been the case in the past -- that is, huge massacres/riots, etc.)...but the "riots" never materialized. So, now (so the analysts claim) the terrorists' tactics have changed -- now they're focusing their attacks on "foreigners" (target tourists from the West) in Mumbai, not the intent to inflame the domestic communal frictions, but with an international focus -- and it's this internationalization of the attacks which then bears some degree of similarity to 9/11...(in addition, it's the similarity with the "outsiders" -- outsiders from Arab nations fly a plane into the WTC -- and in Mumbai, terrorists from abroad arrive in boats and conduct a terrorist operation. I believe that's the "thinking" behind drawing the similarities between Mumbai's terrorist attacks and 9/11...yeah, I do agree, it's really quite a tenuous association. )

heaven forbid he reads the [Koran] in Uurdu...(or however the language is spelled...)

I don't know if you intended the irony here, but ex-Muslim websites are filled with stories from people talking about how their lives changed for the better (in that they began their psychological and intellectual escape from the chains of Islam) once they finally started to read the Koran translated into their native vernacular -- whether it was modern Arabic or Farsi or Urdu or Malay or whatever.

in Uurdu...(or however the language is spelled...)

"Urdu" seems to be the standardized modern spelling in English, by the way, although in the past it was sometimes written "Ordu" because the two u's are pronounced and spelled differently in Urdu. The first u is considered a "short vowel" while the second u is "long" -- thus you could arguably spell it Urduu to signify the long vowel sound, but Uurdu would be a bit illogical. (The wikipedia article about the language uses a macron, Urdū, instead of double letters to show the long vowel.)

I think its best to wait until some facts are actually on the table, rather than trying to interpret rumours.

Speaking of which, here's one - again unsubstantiated, and only heard yesterday once on the Beeb: a talking head said that he thought this attack was brought forward because there was a quiet arrest of a top man involved in terrorist activities in London/Heathrow last week, who was involved e.g. in the planning of terrorist attacks, such as the attempted shoe bombing.
This analyst thought the attack was planned to coincide with the local elections in India this weekend, and that the terrorists acted now because they were afraid their plot might ahve been blown ...

The Razor/Printer is almost free - the Blades/Ink is where the profit is. The advantage of the All-In-One is that if you don't like it to the extent of refusing to buy ink for it, you still get a passable scanner for 8.5"x11" inch paper. Matters little whose name is on it, though I have MY favorites. If B+W only works for you, there are also bargains to be had in Laser Printers priced any- where from $50 - $150.

Sorry for my digression. I had an earlier discussion with my spouse about the weapons being used. The early reports (Wednesday) clearly showed 7.62 Russian cases strewn about (funny how the photog zoomed in on them) but then there were reports they were using "sophisticated" MP-6's.

After 9/11 the concept of hostage should have been reevaluated. A hostage is no longer a negotiating tool. A hostage is someone that is to be primed for maximum terror impact.

And Deepak Chopra is a dope. By his logic if we take over mid east oil and control it then we defund the radicals.

His idea that future radicals can be appeased to stay calm by non participation of the US in foreign affairs is bogus.

The onus isn't on the west to behave better to make the terrorists go away. It's on the Reilgion of Islam to fatwah against violence at every possible moment. If you don't see an Iman speaking strongly against the violence that that Iman is supporting the violence. Probably directly.

And two doctors and a clinic escort gunned down in two separate incidents by two different prolife murderers, one of them a Methodist minister. And the perpetrators of four of those clinic firebombings, all of which took place within hours of each other one Christmas Eve, were offered up, according to the perpetrators, as a present to Jesus on His birthday.

Analysis: Mumbai attack differs from past terror strikes
By Bill Roggio

The Mumbai attack is unique from past terror strikes carried out by Islamic terrorists. Instead of one or more bombings at distinct sites, the Mumbai attackers struck throughout the city using military tactics. Instead of one or more bombings carried out over a short period of time, Mumbai I entering its third day of crisis.

An attack of this nature cannot be thrown together overnight. It requires planned, scouting, financing, training, and a support network to aid the fighters. Initial reports indicate the attacks originated from Pakistan, the hub of jihadi activity in South Asia. Few local terror groups have the capacity to pull of an attack such as this.

To pull off an attack of this magnitude, it requires months of training, planning, and on-site reconnaissance. Indian officials have stated that the terrorists set up "advance control rooms" at the Taj Mahal and Trident (Oberoi) hotels, and conducted a significant amount of reconnaissance prior to executing the attack. If the news about the "control rooms" is accurate, these rooms may also have served as weapons and ammunition caches for the assault teams to replenish after conducting the first half of the operation.

The planners of the Mumbai attack appear to have chosen able military-aged males. Witnesses have described the men as young and fit. Some of the gunmen appear to have been well trained; some have been credited with having good marksmanship and other military skills

This was no amateur operation. These terrorists had serious training, planning & money.

Indian security officials found what they believe is evidence linking the boat to the attack, as well as linking the attackers to Pakistan. "A GPS map of south Mumbai was found along with a satellite phone on the ship, Coast Guard officials confirmed," The Times of India reported. "There were reports that this phone was used to make calls to Karachi immediately before the shootings began in Mumbai."

Indian police also detained three terrorists from the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terror group closely allied with al Qaeda. The three men are said to be Pakistani nationals, and claimed to have been part of a 12-man team that launched from the MV Alpha. They said the MV Alpha departed from Karachi.

Indian intelligence believes the Indian Mujahideen is a front group created by the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Harkat ul Jihad al Islami. The Indian Mujahideen was created to confuse investigators and cover the tracks of the Students' Islamic Movement of India, or SIMI, a radical Islamist movement, according to Indian intelligence.

The Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Harkat ul Jihad al Islami receive support from Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence to destabilize India and wage war in Kashmir. Both of these terror groups are local al Qaeda affiliates in Pakistan and conduct attacks in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

The Implications of Mumbai

The attack on Mumbai is game changer. Believe it or not but Indians have this crazy notion that they are entitled to go about their daily lives without psychotic maniacs racing into their cities and slaughtering people and setting their best hotels on fire. They also have a long border with the nation from whence the miscopulated scum, who perpetrated this attack, came from. For America, Afghanistan and Pakistan are half a world away, for India, it is right next door.

The Indian government was unable to defend her people from this attack. The ugly truth is that NO government anywhere can defend her people when advanced terror organizations can prepare, train and plan an attack without interference from the host national government. This was the lesson of 911 and the reason Afghanistan is under NATO occupation. Pakistan, Somalia and Sudan are textbook failed states where terrorism festers from weak if not nonexistent governments. All notions of the continued status quo in Pakistan are out the window. India is not going to take this attack. The smartest thing Pakistan could do right now is nuke their own territory because that is the best way for them to remove the problem and prevent an even more drastic response from India. The western Tribal areas are going to get cleaned out, it is only a question of who does it.

The terrorists had all the targets perfectly scouted, key police responders were cut down in the first moments of the attack. This means the attackers had first rate, nation-state quality intelligence and planning, the implications towards elements of Pakistan's government, especially after the car-bomb attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, are dire. India's Muslims will now bear an added burden of suspicion: the planners and scouts for the raid, in some way, and at some point, lived in their midst , they might even still be there. Watch the last reel of Gandhi to see what real ethnic violence looks like.

Attacks like this can unravel the entire fabric of a country. It took enormous effort by responsible American leaders to prevent violent backlash in the US after 911. India is a much different society with a much different history. India was enslaved for hundreds of years by Islamic invaders; many Indians do not consider Islamic domination to be natural and the message of the attacks, "be our slaves again: OR ELSE!" causes Indians to think very dark thoughts.

To call the situation explosive is understatement. There is the possibility of war and massive ethnic violence engulfing the entire subcontinent and parties involved have nuclear weapons.

For Jews, this attack has huge implications and a very simple message- every Jew everywhere is not just a target but the appetizer for these monsters. While this was an al Qaeda operation, Jews should be very aware that al Qaeda and Hezbollah operationally support each other worldwide and have bases in every country and every major city in the world and every Jewish institution has been scouted at some level or placed on the enemy's "to-do list." Saad Bin Laden liven in Iran as a welcome guest and he is not there to bake cookies.

All in all, the Mumbai attacks' impact can only be guessed at this moment but, events will unfold and rapidly, this is how the gates of hell open.

884 Kenneth  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 11:55:52am

A unique attack

The Mumbai attack differs from previous terror attacks launched by Islamic terror groups. Al Qaeda and other terror groups have not used multiple assault teams to attack multiple targets simultaneously in a major city outside of a war zone.

The only attack similar to the Mumbai strike is the assault on the Indian Parliament by the Jaish-e-Mohammed, aided by the Lashkar-e-Taiba, in December 2001. A team of Jaish-e-Mohammed fighters attempted to storm the parliament building while in a session was held. A combination of mishaps by the terrorists and the quick reaction of security guards bunted the attack.

The Mumbai attack is something different. Foreign assault teams that likely trained and originated from outside the country infiltrated a major city to conduct multiple attacks on carefully chosen targets. The primary weapon was the gunman, not the suicide bomber. The attack itself has paralyzed a city of 18 million. And two days after the attack began, Indian forces are still working to root out the terror teams.

This is a game-changer.

885 Haverwilde  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 11:56:22am

I can't quite follow the logic. The 'Religion of Peace' justifies killing Jews in Mubai in order to highlight the plight of Muslims in India.
Given that logic I guess it would be justifiable to nuke Pakistan to highlight the plight of Jews in India. Well... actually that does make more sense.

Thought this might be of interest ...

(I put it up in the spin-off links as well.)

Excellent link!


The Bush administration has taken the lead to forge cooperation, partly out of concern that charges by India that the terror plot has Pakistani fingerprints could setback fast-improving government-to-government and people-to-people ties between the two countries, officials said.

But there is an implicit recognition both in New Delhi and Washington, and also other world capitals, that Pakistan's hard-line Army and its spy agency are spoilers of the honeymoon between the civilian governments and the people of India and Pakistan. Hence the summons to the country's chief spook, Ahmad Shuja Pasha, an acolyte of the new Army Chief Pervez Kiyani, himself a former ISI chief.

Read Roggio's analysis of the attacks & you can see this was no amateur operation. This took planning, money, training & co-ordination.

It is a game-changer, all right - and if the terrorists did have 'command centres' in the Taj and the Oberoi, its no wonder the fight went on for so long, and is still continuing in the Taj. It would also explain why there were these fires breaking out in those hotels: destroying evidence ...

Once the fighting is over, we can expect some very interesting informations about this attack.

And the Christian Church in their many denominations and sects, almost unanimously condemned him for his heinous act. If the Muslim world was condemning these acts you might, might have a point.

Mr. Ghilmeini - After summer '06 in Israel with rockets flying, I came to the conclusion, which I've put in comments here before, that Israel is actually demanding special treatment when compared to how the surrounding countries treat each other and their own people. That special treatment would be to be left alone to do science and technology and music and art... India is looking for that same special treatment.

There is a vast difference, though, because Christians committing butchery in the name of Christianity is not a major component of the faith.

The parallel is better drawn by the response of Christians who immediately denounced and distanced themselves from those butchers than the severity of the act itself.

Yes, the game changed on 9-11, but unfortunately many people still pretend it isn't happening.

This event changes the game for India & Pakistan, and by extension, the US too. As Obama frequently said the real front in the war on terror is in Afghanistan & Pakistan, so too the game has changed. First casualty, is Obama's whole "new approach", getting India to back off Pakistan in exchange for which Pakistan will crack down hard on the extremists. After Mombai, that strategy is a non-starter.

Exactly!

Thats why I'm inclined to give a bit more credence to the speculation I referred to above, which i only heard once, yesterday, on the Beeb.
The analyst thought that this attack was planned to take place on the day of the local elections in India this weekend - and that it was brought forward because one of the possible top planners had been quietly arrested in London last week, at Heathrow, and they might have assumed that their plot would be betrayed.

And if you doubt his agenda on this thread, see his Post #906. It gets old. And in my opinion, it's absurd to even bring up when we are facing the likes of the islamofascist terrorism looking to bring down Western culture.

Its the same sort of strategy as in 9/11 or 7/11 or in the case of the failed plot from the UK to destroy multiple transatlantic flights with carried on liquid bombs.

I wonder if the demise of Rashid Rauf in his "safe house" in Pokkystahn last week had something to do with the timing of this. And I wonder if the gunmen were all on a suicide mission of if maybe some were led to believe this was a get in get out hostage taking operation and they would get flown out quick by helicopter. Early on the witnesses were saying the terrorists were trying to get to the roof with the hostages. But going to the roof doesn't make sense if you are trying to fortify a position in a building.

Also, in a few days there was to be a convention of European parliamentarians in Mombai, staying at the Taj. If the terrorists had originally planned to attack then, the global political shock value would have been huge.

re: #916 ornery elephant

I've seen Sal's comments and what I enjoy about them is this: there are too many Christians who would like to be just like the "moderate" Muslims and stay in complete denial that folks have perpetrated heinous crimes while claiming to be Christian. Sal challenges them to accept the truth that the nutjobs are out there, they are wrong and they must be unilaterally denounced by true Christians.

Perhaps, since I believe in Catholicism, I have become used to accepting that my religion's history has included horrible acts which are completely against the doctrine of faith. The difference between my religious practice and the Muslim is -- we have corrected the wrong headings. No more Spanish Inquisition, right?

re: #918 johnnyreb
I respectfully disagree with your interpretation. I think the argument for and against the the Constitution is how the original intent of the Founders is interpreted. Those advocating a 'Living Constitution' wish to interpret the Founders original intent based on the their own moral perceptions vs. the Founders moral perceptions. I think this allows to much moral ambiguity, resulting in some of the laws we've seen handed down over the last forty or fifty years that have resulted in unintended consequences. Too often, the 'Living Constituion' advocates wish to bypass majority and popular opinion by finding some 'new' interpretation and using the Constitution to force their hand. My favorite instance is the long and winding list of opinions that resulted in 'Roe v. Wade' as a Constitutional Right, when in my opinion, the Constitution never really had any opinion on abortion at all, and should have fallen under the 10th Amendment (let the individual States decide).

I agree with you. Aside from a twisted underground cult of vicious antiabortionists who venerate Paul Hill as a saint and a martyr, there are few Christians who do not denounce his actions, when they have heard of them at all (and, as evidenced on this thread, many have not). Of course it's as clear as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face that both the vast preponderance of religious terrorists and the overwhelming majority of the religious who support it are Muslims. I was simply responding to those who seemed to be claiming that Christians NEVER engaged in such things, simply because they were Christians, and Christians never would. And this claim is demonstrably untrue. Murder in the name of one God or another, and the urge to become God's Avenging Arm on Earth, is, for some, a seductive slippery slope temptation born of excessive devotion, piety and self-righteousness against which all theistic religions must remain vigilant, lest they find themselves becoming more like the Muslims, a substantial percentage of whom have already succumbed to that temptation.

It may seem to be a non sequitur, but now more than ever we need to get our energy supplies under control. It is time to open ANWR, and the off-shore oil sources, as well as the oil shale.
We cannot fight this religious war on the one hand and fund our opponents with the other. That is truly insane. We have no choice in fighting the war, in spite of what the left says. If we don't do in now, we will fight it in the not too distant future.

I didn't equate them. I merely stated that although the lion's share of terrorist acts are perpetrated by Musims, that the plague of religious terrorism can infect acolytes of all faiths.

And it's 7 killed and 6 injured. Not to mention more than 200 cases of clinics being bombed or burned.

re: #947 Salamantis

I agree with you. Aside from a twisted underground cult of vicious antiabortionists who venerate Paul Hill as a saint and a martyr, there are few Christians who do not denounce his actions, when they have heard of them at all (and, as evidenced on this thread, many have not). Of course it's as clear as the nose on Jimmy Durante's face that both the vast preponderance of religious terrorists and the overwhelming majority of the religious who support it are Muslims. I was simply responding to those who seemed to be claiming that Christians NEVER engaged in such things, simply because they were Christians, and Christians never would. And this claim is demonstrably untrue. Murder in the name of one God or another, and the urge to become God's Avenging Arm on Earth, is, for some, a seductive slippery slope temptation born of excessive devotion, piety and self-righteousness against which all theistic religions must remain vigilant, lest they find themselves becoming more like the Muslims, a substantial percentage of whom have already succumbed to that temptation.

A Christian who would kill a doctor just because he performs abortions is not a true follower of Christ. They are faked out by satan into believing what they're doing is what Christ would want them to do. Christ would not condone "an eye for an eye". That's like someone saying, I'm a vegetarian however I also eat beef. The two are mutually exclusive.

That's the third appearance of the No True Scotsman fallacy in this thread.

When people honestly and sincerely profess a faith, we have to accept that they are indeed followers of it, however much we may be repulsed by some of their actions. Christians can indeed act un-Christ-like; it is said that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Some folks just fall far shorter than others, yet they remain believers. And the last time I checked, the only qualification for being a Christian was to accept Jesus Christ as one's personal savior.

"No follower of Religion X could do this."

It's easy to understand the need for moderates of all religions to distance themselves from the extremists, and I support them in that. But the attempt to fully disown elements of a religious congregation that are clearly mental seems to me like an attempt to disown an errant son. Parentage isn't something that you can in reality nullify. Everyone else still knows whom that son was born to and whose house he grew up in.

Also, disowning is a way of avoiding dealing with issues that really do apply to that religion. You must have noticed just how easy it is for muslims, for example, to kid themselves that everything is good in the world of Islam because it is by definition impossible for a 'Muslim' to commit acts of terrorism? Responsibility has to be taken before any attempts at reform can even be contemplated.

I'd also like to thank President Elect Obama for not turning his back on the activities of RMC's terrorist friends. His plan to help the Afghanistan people rid the country of thousands more Jihadi filth by greatly increasing troop numbers is commendable.

Last of all, I'd like to thank Mr

100%. If nothing else has been demonstrated in the last twenty years or so it is that Democrats feel that there should be one set of rules for them, and another entirely different set of rules for those they rule. The examples of this are too many to list. jonah Goldberg calls the "Liberal Fascism", but I don't think it is necessary to add the "Liberal" qualifier. These folks are just fascists. and Obama reminds me so much of Mussolini that you could almost speculate he's Mussolini's long-lost secret love child.

I agree that they are out and out fascists. The irony is that many of us conservatives are actually classical liberals. I've never wanted to shut liberals up...never even occurs to me.

They also say the terrorists departed Karachi in a merchant ship early on Wednesday. ISI chief Lieutenant-General Pasha will go to India and try to convince the Indians that they had nothing to do with this.

I have already said that most Christians do not condone antiabortion violence. However, it is also true that quite a few Christians have committed it, and quite a few more have applauded it. Simple, irrefutable fact.

As for other threads, to which stances of mine do you object? My opposition to the religious dogmas of creationism being taught in public high school science classes? My support for gay civil unions, without applying the term marriage to them? My support for a woman's right to choose abortion before fetal viability, but not thereafter? My opposition to the antijihadist movement allying with fascists in Europe and elsewhere? Inquiring minds want to know. But not awfully much. Because as far as most folks are concerned, these positions occupy the sensible center. They make good, tolerant, and equitable sense to me. And I will not abandon or forsake them in order to avoid trash talk from jingoistic religious chauvinists.

Maybe you don't mean to, but you come across as virulently anti-Christian. There's nothing in your pagan faith that prevents that.

I have repeatedly and explicitly stated that I support members of every religion having the freedom to practice their faiths freely, so long as they do not go so far as to infringe on the same religious freedom rights belonging to those who embrace other faiths, or none at all.

This stance could come across as anti-Christian only to those who demand that Christianity be granted special favors in the US, much as Islam is granted pre-eminence in Saudi Arabia and Iran.

I am not anti-Christian, however, I DO oppose Christian Dominionist hegemony. If such people were ever to succeed in realiziing their publicly acknowledged aims, America would no longer be a constitutional democracy, but a Biblical theocracy.

The leader of the Pro-Life Action network and author of a book titled Closed: 99 Ways to Shut Down Abortion Clinics was a former Dominican Priest out of Chicago named Joseph Scheidler, and Joan Andrews, who was sentenced to 5 years in prison in my state as a habitual offender for breaking into dozens of abortion clinics and trashing their medical equipment, was also Catholic.

Yes, yes, yes I know that you think that Christians are just like the Taliban because they don't want State sanctioned gay marriage. Fortunately for gays, that is hyperbole verging on the hysterical.

Other than arguing about what the correct way to kill gays is, and the beheadings, and the stonings, and, well, pretty nearly anything else I can see where you get that kind of idea.

It makes you fell better, I guess. Hope that works out for you.

You must have not read my post above where I stated that I was in favor of gay civil unions without assigning them the traditional term 'marriage.' Muslims are quantums worse to gays and women than are the most fundamentalist of Christian faiths, and so are their theocracies, but that is no excuse to demand that constitutional democracies discriminate against them in such matters as reproductive rights for women and the granting of the right of medical spousal decisions, mutual inheritance rights, employee spousal benefits, and tax breaks to committed gay couples.

No, that would be you. Catholocism is surpassingly fortunate that the overwhelming majority of its members are unlike you on that score.

Calling me a bigot a thousand times in the complete and upper absence of any evidence for such a contention says nothing about me, but it says quite a lot about you. And what it has to say is far from complimentary. Not to mention the broken record thingie.

When evaluating others' opinions, I consider the source, but no more than it merits or deserves, which, in your case, is not much at all.

This is not Soviet Russia and you are not Stalin. Continuously repeating Big Lies doesn't work any more.

Color me officially fed up with the proposition that Islamic radicalism is created by our response to Islamic radicalism.
That the rise of fundamentalism is fueled by our response to the rise of fundamentalism.
That somehow if the democratic nations of the world lowered their heads and looked not up, that these devils would stay in their holes.
Fye on that.

I am reminded of Avi Lewis and his challenge to Hirsi Ali, that Christianity in the West is at least as violent and as cruel as Islam, and her response - that in the Western world, a Christian that bombs an abortion clinic or harms a gay person is arrested, tried and punished. In the West, religion has been made subject to the rule of law, and not the reverse, as is so in sharia.

More pertinent to our discourse is this clip, showing Richard Dawkins interviewing Mr. Khattab:

I'm a Catholic, and still manage to side with Mr. Dawkins over this "pious" neo-Marxist. There's no reason why a rational and sober thinker, regardless of faith or lack thereof, would not likewise come to a similar conclusion - that Dawkins is correct in his general thesis, and that Mr. Khattab only reaffirms that fact.

As for the juvenile name-calling and personal insults, I'd just as soon not see that tolerated here at all, regardless of provocation. There are plenty of other boards where ad hominem attacks are welcomed. If you can't make an argument against another's ideas without attacking their person, please venture elsewhere to post your opinions.

Facts are stubborn things. They remain factual, no matter what one calls the person who shares them.

re: #1027 BBev

You are the one running around dinging down posts. And the one coming across as a bigot.

1041 DrCruel  Fri, Nov 28, 2008 9:36:33pm

Please.

Let's not call each other "bigots" or the like, nor make unpleasant analogies based on imagery derived from digestive or reproductive organs. Such comments add nothing positive to our discourse, and make this place sound too much like the Daily Kos for my liking.

I really hate islam. I know we're all raised in a Western society to not say stuff like that but sometimes you just have to call out something honestly even if it's politically incorrect. It's a barbaric religion founded on the sword and conquest and its followers are just too fanatical. I actually see islam as a danger to humanity. I really wish those militant atheist anti-christian types you see all over the internet would direct their energy at islam instead. While they love to say christianity is just as bad as islam it really isn't. Christianity has been reformed and no longer burns people as sinners or wages holy wars. But islam still does. Islam is like the way christianity was in the Dark Ages. Anyone who criticizes islam is assinated and I mean anyone. They want to spread their religion and keep it free from criticism at all costs. And I don't think islam will be reforming itself like christianity did for a VERY long time. We're talking hundreds of years. I don't even understand how anyone could remain a muslim after watching the news or reading about its history. If I was a christian and christians were doing this kind of thing I'd renounce my religion.

Here is the essay I wrote on precisely that topic:

Good summary in your blog Salamantis. I agree. The problem is what to do about it. I guess the most we can do is educate people to this unfortunate reality. Islam needs to go through a similar reform that christianity went through to be more easy going and less fanatical.

"There is no doubt, we know, that the targets the terrorists singled out were Jewish, Israeli targets and targets identified with the West, Americans and Britons," Livni said. Our MSM will cut that off at "Americans and British..."

They are autonomous, monolithic, an echo chamber for the leftist alternate reality. Media censor themselves effectively and completely to propagate their overt and subliminal ideological worldview.

There is no Ministry of Truth, no jackbooted thugs brutally installing party hacks and destroying honest journalists. Our media are inexcusable,

These arrogant people are incapable of overcoming defensiveness and bias. I try to remember and honor their betters in journalism, those who have exposed dictators and suffered injury or death to bring information to light. I try to remember that every person sees the world by a shaping core of beliefs and values. These can be valuable and powerful if truth is honored. Instead, subjective ideological interpretation is operating with the same potency as a religion might. The alternate reality they inhabit is foisted upon us at every turn, it is the presence of an absence.

"Truth is the first casualty of war."

re: #16 rightside

Surely.

HARRY SMITH: When they, as they were perpetrating their attacks in the beginning, they were clearly, they said, were looking for British citizens, were looking for American citizens. Sadly, so many of the people were killed were Indians.

The best way to learn a second language is by immersion, that is why we who stand apart from the leftist alternate reality are growing adept at translating media curs as they regurgitate our information. Here's the translation: "Too bad more Americans and British were not killed, instead of these innocent people. Jewish deaths are to be expected, that's not especially newsworthy or significant."

There is no Ministry of Truth, no jackbooted thugs brutally installing party hacks and destroying honest journalists. Our media are sui generis.

No, they were 'acting out of frustration'. . .like children being naughty!

The first and most damaging loss in the moral relativism new world order? The loss of the belief in evil. . .

Yes.
