It's really kicked off in India... Follow

Yeah, WTF is going on there? Some other punks want to be part of the Axis of Evil?

What I love is how these people use death and injury to fight the evils of promiscuity, selfishness and Godlessness. Young people are horribly prone to brainwashing.

Reading Freedom at Midnight, by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins (yeah I had to look that up), helped me sort of understand the unique mess that India is and sadly enough this slaughter is hardly unique, excepting it's targets.
On the bright side - overseas travel bonus for India now, yeah things are really looking up

The best thing is, there's a pair of muslims in today's paper complaining about some racist text jokes they've recieved.

Um..Perspective anyone? Pricks..

since there seems to be some censuring of reporting on major news outlets in effect, I been following updates on Twitter. Arun Shanbhgan has been giving emotional side by tweets and his wordpress blog, while MumbaiAttacks and Breakingnews stay on top of any new information on the events as they happen. Trying to follow the ongoing story on twitter can quickly become overwhelming.

Arun's posts and updates have me near tears, not that I need any reason to cry today.

Why does it matter that it was two Muslims, you racist piece of ****?

You're ill, my friend, and the only cure is more cowbell suicide by woodchipper.

By the way, that's a pretty ironic post you have there.

I disagree Red, I think it's the scale and length of time the events are taking, which allows the media to work itself into a frenzy.

The fact that most of the death are Indians and that only part of the attack was aimed at Westerners has made it more newsworthy I agree but I think it's now common for Major stations to focus on events that they can use as a whole day follow the drama live events.

it's good for ratings.

So far I believe only 3 non indians are confirmed, one Brit, one Italian and one Japanese.

Pakistan should expect Ninja and Samurai attacks by Xmas.

Well as the BNP would say "the death of one Brit is a tragedy, the Death of a million in the subcontinent is a statistic.

But hey, it's just a little slap and tickle by those crazy Religion of Peace adherents, no biggie. Islam is all about peace, guys. Peace. Remember that.

But hey, it's just a little slap and tickle by those crazy Religion of Peace adherents, no biggie. Islam is all about peace, guys. Peace. Remember that.

For Islam to catch up to just the Iraqi civilian death toll, that is dead people that even the US military agrees were innocent bystanders, they'd have to have 7 or 8 attacks this size every month for about 300 years.

Just saying. If you want to keep score of dead innocents, Islam's way way way way way ahead at present. If you care more about intent, then we are. I'd recommend asking a dead 5 year old's parents how important it is to them what the guy who killed their child was thinking immediately beforehand.

I've been working & living in outback Aust these last 9 months & have just heard about the Mumbai drama. You know my biggest problem today? Water...waiting for some fuggin rain because the river is all fouled up. I'm sure the people in The Taj hotel don't care about my problems, but would swap me for theirs in a heartbeat.
I believe it was Karl Marx that said religion is the opiate of the masses.
Islamic zealotry & christian fundamentalism (vice versa)...opiate of the ignorant.
evolution rules..OK

Karl Marx then took a long haul, exhaled and said, "Opiate is the religion of the elite".
