"The Indian government, all the time they boast that they're democratic, they're secular, but they have nothing to do with a democracy, they have nothing to do with a secularism. They try to crush Sikhs just to please the majority."

On the contrary, it has everything to do with democracy. Democracy is precisely about the tyranny of the majority: in a pure democracy, if 50.1% of voters vote to kill Sikhs, or blacks, or Jews, or gun owners, that's what's going to happen. No ifs, ands, or buts. The "power of the people" is total and absolute.

the lines are beginning being drawn...are you with us or with the terrorists? india is with us, israel is with us. these countries know what it's like to live with islamic based terrorism. sadly, it will be a very short line. the EU is dealing with an influx of muslims...and forget africa and asia.
