More [1] tourism jihad. Tourism for the mujahedin is just another manifestation of jahiliyya -- non-Islamic ignorance. It is also a context that leads to immorality, which to some gives rise to the idea that violent attacks are an appropriate response. "14 hurt in grenade attack in Kashmir tourist town," from [2] DPA, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

NEW DELHI - Suspected Muslim militants in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir injured fourteen people, including seven tourists, in a grenade attack, news reports said.
