Mumbai terror attacks

Everybody in the world knows that this despicable terror attack is funded and planned in Pakistan. Sure there are some local contacts who helped them but no one is naive enough to believe that Pakistan's ISI is not involved in a major way. The primary goal of the Pakistani masters of terrorists appears to be to create an impression that India is an unsafe destination for investment and make it look as unsafe as Pakistan. They want to hurt India's booming economy. They want to create an atmosphere of suspicion and vitriol between Hindus and Muslims and they hope that that atmosphere will result in communal clashes sullying the image of India in the eyes of the world community.

These Pakistani masters of terrorists are trying to create a justification for this massacre based on a cooked up theory of systemic suppression of Muslims in India. Nothing can be further from truth but if you keep repeating a lie long enough then it might stick. In any case there will always be some gullible people who will believe that propaganda and even start propagating it themselves. Also there are any number of politicians and political parties in India that would not hesitate to cash in on the supposed systemic suppression of Muslims and try to turn that into electoral gains.

One of the most important goals for our government should be to make sure that the terrorists and their masters do not succeed in their propaganda of lies. There are hundreds of millions of Indians living in poverty and that includes Hindus, Muslims, Christians and others.  Hence, to say just the Muslims are impoverished is nothing but propaganda and a ruse to divide the communal harmony.  The Indian government should counter this propaganda with facts and use all the devices at its disposal to disseminate that information to the world. But I am old enough to know that our Indian government is totally lethargic and impotent and will do nothing to counter the terrorist propaganda.

In our country there is an absolute lack of political will to fight terrorism. These politicians view Muslims as vote banks that can make or break an election. Consequently there is a perception in most political parties that being strong on terrorism would alienate these vote banks. I hope our politicians rise above their petty political interests for once and think in terms of what is best for the country -  like enacting a strong anti-terror law. I also hope that these politicians stand together on the issue of hanging that terrorist (his name escapes me and am too lazy to google it) who was convicted of bombing the Indian parliament. Hanging that terrorist will send a strong message. Right now the only message that we are sending to our enemies is that we are divided and weak kneed. No amount of barking without biting is going to change anything.

Satanic attacks in Mumbai,India

It is reported by various news agencies that Islamic terrorists conducted cowardly terror attacks in several locations in Mumbai,India on Wednesday night and killed scores of innocent people.

Anyone who kills or maims unarmed people

• - is an utter coward
• - is an agent of Satan and against God.

I have a close friend who is a Muslim and he told me many times that Islam never condones terroristic acts such as these perpetrated in Mumbai tonight. These Islamic terrorists are betraying their religion of Islam by these utterly cowardly acts. Because of these selfish and power hungry Islamic terrorists, millions of innocent and good Muslims are now being looked upon with suspicion wherever they go. These Islamic terrorists are bringing bad name to Islam and damaging the good name of their religion beyond repair.

The only thing that these Islamic terrorists are achieving by their cowardly terroristic acts is to unite all other religions against Islam and I do not think the consequences of that would be good for Islam.

God has no religion. Humans for their convenience have instituted different religions as a means to get to God. Anyone who commits terroristic acts in the name of religion is against the God and must be considered an agent of Satan and as such all terrorists are agents of Satan. In the end God will win and Satan and the agents of Satan will lose.

This is still a developing story and there are hostages believed to be held by these agents of Satan who perpetrated these attack and the NSG commandos are in the process of hunting down and exterminating these agents of Satan. I am sure the NSG commandos will exterminate every last one of these agents of Satan.

It is reported that 3 police men have so far been killed while protecting the innocent people from these agents of Satan.

May God bless these brave NSG Commandos and the police men for their valor and sacrifice.

The stoning death of a Somali girl

Over the last couple of weeks, I have read in several news media reports, about this gruesome killing of a 13 year old girl by Islamic Militants in Somalia. Her crime - getting raped by 3 men and reporting it.

In the port city of Kismayo in Somalia, a 13-year-old girl Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow, who said she had been raped by 3 men was stoned to death after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants who stoned her to death.

About 50 men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with over 1,000 spectators in Kismayo. This city was seized in August by a coalition of forces loyal to rebel leader Hassan Turki, and al-Shabab, the country's main radical Islamist group.

These poisonous creatures who killed that young girl claim to have done it in the name of Islam. I have a close friend who is a Muslim and he told me that nowhere in Khoran is it mentioned that adultery is punishable by Stoning to death.

If God grants me just one wish before I die then I would wish for the power to hunt down and exterminate all these poisonous creatures who commit these unimaginable atrocities in the name of religion.

American Presidential election of 2008

It is great to live in an era when history is made, given the fact that we have absolutely no control over which era we live in. November 4th 2008 is one such time - the day on which a black man had been elected as the president of USA for the first time in US history. That marks the true beginning of the post racial era in the history of this great democracy.

On November 4th, during the day, I had a conversation at my work place with another coworker who is also an Indian about the ongoing presidential election. My friend said the majority of white people would not vote for Mr.Obama as he is a black man. I told him todays America is, for the most part color blind, regardless of what the media leads general public to believe. I said to him that history was being made that day and that the next day he would read that a black man had been elected as the president of USA for the first time in US history. And sure enough the next day we all read that Mr. Obama had won and what a victory that was - it is one of the most one sided election victory in the recent history of America.

I have been living in the USA for the last 12 years and I did not witness a lot of racial discrimination at the places where I worked or where I lived. But like they say 'Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'. So I can not say with total authority that racial discrimination has been completely eradicated from today's America but I can say that racial discrimination is not prevalent to the extent that we are generally lead to believe by media.

Every now and then I read about some oddball white supremacist gang getting bust or some old KKK klan member trying to revive that gang and getting bust. I have also seen and read about the sermons given by some black reverends who are stuck in the 1960s, talking about racism as if America is still living in the early 20th century. But all those are exceptions rather than rule. As a foreigner and as someone who has been living in this country for a while, my observation is that in present day America, racial discrimination is not as prevalent as it once used to be.

I heartily congratulate Mr.Obama and wish him the very best in his new endeavor that will officially begin next year.

Now on a slightly different note just look at this video below, of Mr. Mccain making a concession speech after losing the election. I just wonder if I ever will see an Indian politician conceding so graciously after an election defeat.
