What's happening in Israel will be coming to the US, all too soon enough.

Yep- Israel is the canary in America's coal mine. We are next.

Notice the targets:

1. Hindu Temples

2. Tourist spots (The Gateway to India is also situated close to one of Mumbai's top hotels, the Taj Mahal).

3. Train Station (Chhatrapati Sivaji Terminus - A quick google search shows us that Sivaji was the last Hindu Raja to stand-up and defeat the Muslim invaders.)

Islam is a PIECEFUL religion.

Body part pieces, that is.

Thank you for the correction... Now why did I think that Bombay was mostly Muslim? If you don't mind, which one of the megacities has the largest Muslim population?

CHATRAPATHI SIVAJI
(1630-1680 A.D.]

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was born at the Shivneri fort on February 19, 1630 He founded the Hindu kingdom in the Deccan against all odds , fighting against the mighty Mughals.He inspired and united the common man to fight against the tyranny of Mughal ruler Aurangjeb, by inculcating a sense of pride and nationality in them. At the age of 16, he took a pledge to establish a sovereign Hindu state.His life appears like a fairy tale to children.He clearly outstands all the rulers and generals of India by the exemplary life he lived and is thus respected by the entire cross section of Indians.Shivaji is to India what Napolean was to Europe.

The Marathas and Shivaji The Marathas from Maharashtra in central India became a major force in India between 1646 and 1680, under Shivaji. Shivaji's father was a small overlord for the Muslim state of Bijapur. Shivaji decided to lead a rebellion to extend his father's power. Afzal Khan, the Bijapur general, sent to put down the rebellion, agreed to meet Shivaji to work it out. During this meeting, Shivaji killed him with steel claws he had attached to his hands. He was known for his heroism and daring in battle. He was a devotee of Lord Vitthala (Krishna). He was captured and taken to Agra, but escaped. Shivaji is considered to be a hero in Maharashtra and in Mumbai, he was able to unite the people in the fight against the Mughals.

Amongst the other successors of the Mughals, the Marathas were the earliest. Their rise in the seventeenth century was due to Shivaji (1627-80), who rising from a soldier in the service of Golkonda, managed to establish his kingdom in the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. While he established his power in the north, his brother Venkaji or Ekoji established his family in the south at Tanjore. While the authority of the former soon passed into the hands of the Peshwas, the members of Ekoji's family continued till the middle of the nineteenth century.

In a haunting replay of the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts after the Babri Masjid demolition

This refers to a case where a Muslim mosque situated on top of a hindu temple was demolished in 1993, leading to rioting and bombing. (The demolition was done by Hindu activists, and was not authorized by the govt. The mosque had earlier been turned over to the Hindus)

The FOXNEWS website doesn't mention anything of this. They just mention deadly bomb blast in Russia.

Forget it man! The US majors didn't even broadcast that the Indian Parlement was under attack by Pakistani terrorists. This happened about a year ago.

Stolen from MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.com/news/956879.asp?cp1=1

ANTICIPATED ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORT

The explosions came the same day as the release of a long-anticipated archaeological report on a religious site claimed by both Hindus and Muslims in the northern town of Ayodhya.

That dispute has been blamed for previous explosions in Bombay.

In March, a bomb attack on a Bombay train, which police blamed on Islamic militants, killed 11 people and wounded 64 others.

That explosion came a day after the 10th anniversary of a series of bombings in Bombay — also blamed on Islamic militants — which killed more than 250 people and injured 1,000. Police say the bombings were in retaliation for the 1992 destruction by Hindus mobs of the 16th-century Ayodhya mosque, and to avenge Muslim deaths in riots that followed.

Times of India reports "All four bombs had been placed in taxis, pointing to a well-planned and coordinated attack. "

"However, Jafarayab Jilani of the All India Sunni Central Waqf Board said that the ASI report is contradictory and they will challenge it."

They challenged it the only way they know how.

India's stock market is down 2.2% on the news. Think the bombers had their sell-shorts in place?

Notice the parallels between Israel and the Palestinians? All the bombings and death over a chunk of land.

Muslim extremists should all be rounded up and well if I told how I really felt people wouldn't like me anymore.

The Hindustan Times says 24 killed, 42 wounded.

CNN's website had no mention of this, playing up the 4 dead Hamas bastards instead.
