I wonder: is there anybody in India, Europe, or the USA that hasn't made up their minds about these types of events? In other words, 100 more bombings by an explicitly Muslim organization would neither move the needle on those convinced to see Muslims as absolutely no different in action or belief than your average pre-school teacher, nor would it take more bombings to finally convince most suspicious non-Muslims (the great majority of us) that it's not phobic to be afraid of having your children murdered in their school by their Muslim co-"citizens."

Journalists who write these stories are just mailing it in.

As long as we are inventing fantasy, lets just say that there were no bombings, no one was hurt or killed, throw salt over our shoulder three times, dance in a fairy circle, and we can all go home!

Also it would behoove us to remind leftists, jihadists, fellow-travelers that it makes no sense to use the term Islamaphobe if the perpetrators of these events are NOT Muslims.

But something tells me we'll see/have seen plenty of Islamaphobia brushing by the same man who believes these events were not carried out or sanctioned by Muslims.

I suppose we should associate these bombings with renegade Amish instead.

Muslim leaders must think that there are suckers born every nano secound if we are led to believe that these bombings were not made by islamists!
islam is a war manual made for and by terrorists, when the dots are connected maybe the ruling elites can let the cat out of the bag.

"Dont' term perpetrators of blasts as Muslims: IUML,"

Oh yeah? Who then? Buddhists? Hindus?

"The truth about Indian Mujahideen

Vicky Nanjappa | November 23, 2007 23:01 IST
Last Updated: November 24, 2007 00:58 IST

A previously unheard of group called the Indian Mujahideen claiming the responsibility for the Uttar Pradesh multiple blasts has put the investigating officers in a spot of bother.

The Intellgience Bureau claimed that this is a new ploy by terror outfits to misguide investigating agencies. Intelligence sources said the Indian Mujahedeen is just a name used by outfits banned by the Indian government.

The sources said the Indian Mujahedeen comprises activists from banned outfits like Harkat-ul-Jihad-e-Islami and the Students Islamic Movement of India.

The sources said Friday's blasts are the handy work of the HuJI, which has been held responsible for both the Hyderabad and Ajmer Dargah blasts...."

The Indian Mujahedeen most certainly is comprised of disgruntled Muslims who have carried out other attacks in India..

State president of IUML K M Khader Mohideen is afraid of a growing resentment for Muslims...The more the Muslims attack the more the rest of world gets more willing to begin to fight back..Islam keeps digging its own grave. State president of IUML K M Khader Mohideen knows it.

The more the truth about Islam gets out, the more the Muslims hate it and the madder they get..

Islam is a thrill kill machine out of control..it does not know how to stop killing..

Posted by: exsgtbrown at July 27, 2008 5:30 PM

No Muslims did it and they are the terrorists that is the fact. Islam is a terrorist and violent religion it is a fact and we will call it a murdering barbarous cult. It is like how the Aztecs and Maya who worshiped human sacrifice. However Islam is worse than that it is a plague of evil and destruction. It bring misery suffering and pain. It belongs to the thugs and robbers and rapers and child pedophile. It is all of that. Every evil conceivable is Islam.

"These kind of people are neither Muslims, Hindus or Christians."

How ironic! Consider this from Yahoo! News:

An obscure Islamic militant group warning of "the terror of Death" claimed responsibility for bombings that killed at least 45 people and authorities stepped up security Sunday after India's second series of blasts in two days.

[...]

The e-mail was sent by a group calling itself Indian Mujahideen that was unknown before May, when it said it was behind a series of bombings in Jaipur, also in western India, that killed 61 people.

"I appeal to the media and the public not to brand the perpetrators of the Bangalore blasts as Muslims," State president of IUML K M Khader Mohideen told reporters here on Saturday night.

Hey, Mr. Mohideen, I appeal to you to unambiguously and publically deal with these "renegade" muslims, and do your very best to get them to quit killing everyone in the name of your god allah.

Quit telling me to behave, when it is they who are misbehaving.

Posted by: PersonOfTheBook at July 27, 2008 10:32 PM

"These kind of people are neither Muslims, Hindus or Christians. The Centre and the state government should take steps to nab them quickly," he said.

How convenient! You send the muslim mobs out to terrorize everyone, and then you publically disavow their actions.

Posted by: PersonOfTheBook at July 27, 2008 10:34 PM

I'm waiting for comments from Hindu politicians. It's important to see the extent to which the Indian historical negationism (the whitewash of the Hindu genocide at the hands of Muslim invaders) has permeated interpretations of contemporary events.

When Hindu liberals in the Congress Party start acknowledging the India has a "Muslim problem"...it will be a cold day in hell.

If the report had said the Hindus or Christians had done it they would have complained about being satirical! Or thought it disrespectful for some inane reason or other. You can't please these A-holes. They will always complain no mater what.

In the meantime, the non-Muslim/non-Islamic 'Indian Mujahideen' has now claimed that Kerela is next on their crosshairs. Go figure.

Posted by: Infidel Pride at July 27, 2008 11:51 PM

Indian Mujahideen, Huji, SIMI, Lashkar e Toiba, whatever... like Hugh once noted, that's the alphabet soup of jihadi orgs. Even their origin - Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Brunei, Kosovo, Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Iran,... is irrelevant. Suffice it to say that they are Mohammedans, and they are on a jihadi roll.

Posted by: Infidel Pride at July 27, 2008 11:55 PM

India is 10% Muslim. This is what we can expect when Muslim populations reach 10%. You think Michagain sucks now wait until it reaches 10% Muslim. Who would invest their then.

Posted by: Ruebacca at July 28, 2008 12:14 AM

If the Indian government could find the courage, they could shut down one mosque for every non-Muslim killed in the bombings so far.

Start with those that are known to have been associated with terror jihad.

Close them and bulldoze them flat.

Jihad is war. The mosques are war-rooms, command centres, weapons depots.

It may be that Islam has to be recognised as analogous to the Thuggees - only with global ambitions.

By the way, for any European, Australian or American readers who don't know: Kerala, [pop. 33 million] which has been threatened with similar bombings according to the link given by Infidel Pride, above, is in far south-western India, on the sea-coast. It is 57 % Hindu, 19 % Christian (Catholic, Syrian Orthodox, and Protestant) and 23 % Muslim. My source lists it as "India's most prosperous and densely-populated state".

In 1921 its main group of Muslims, the Malabar or Mappila, staged a major jihadist revolt, attacking both the British and the Hindus. The Wiki account

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moplah_Rebellion

seems to be a reasonable summary, and contains a nice quote from an original source - a Hindu woman describing Muslim atrocities of the kind that will be recognised instantly by any person who has read Fregosi, Bat Yeor, Trifkovic or Andrew Bostom on Jihad.

It also refers to the methods used by the British to squash the jihad: the present day Indian government, and the government of Kerala state, please take note.

This passage is also worth mentioning:

'The rebellion was considered as a jihad against all non-Muslims (Hindu and British) to impose Islamic rule in the area.

'Annie Besant stated:

"The Moplahs murdered and plundered abundantly, and killed or drove away all Hindus who would not apostatise.

"Somewhere about a lakh (100,000) of people were driven from their homes with nothing but their clothes they had on, stripped of everything...
"Malabar has taught us what Islamic rule still means, and we do not want to see another specimen of the Khilafat Raj in India."

These murders were done by islam. These are islamic ritual murders. allah akbar is the pagan cry while murdering infidels. This is a well educated muslim leader. What is remarkable about islam is how these same scenarios, the murder of infidels, play out again and again worldwide. What is remarkable is that one billion muslims are trying to subvert 5 billion hapless infidels. What is remarkable is that these gleeful murderers invoke obscene criminal violence in the name of their allah. Yes, the playbook is to insist that Islam has nothing to do with these atrocities done by islam? But the natural question is why does islam have everything to do with these events everywhere? Who are these people doing these acts worldwide? Clearly, the perpetrators are muslims. They must go! Muslims must go and be banished to another part of the planet until they can be trusted to behave better.

"These kind of people are neither Muslims, Hindus or Christians. The Centre and the state government should take steps to nab them quickly," he said.'

Hm, but if it were Jews....

Thing is, if the murderers were anything else than Muslims, we'd not hear a peep from this rat and would hear all out condemnation. Sometimes, the obvious must be stated again and again, esp. in the face of the kind of anti-reality checks we see every day.

India: Muslim leader insists media should not associate recent bombings with Islam

Of course not, how could we think of such a thing as that.

Posted by: Spot on at July 28, 2008 8:34 AM

THERE IS NO CENTRAL AUTHORITY IN ISLAM.

Therefore, any Quran quoting group can call themselves Muslim and who can say with authority that they are not? It’s just a matter of what group is in power where. We must not allow any “moderate” Muslim group wanting to disassociate themselves from another group to claim the other are not “true” Muslims.

It’s a blood-squirting circus and they are all clowns.

Posted by: FM at July 28, 2008 9:59 AM

Maybe the bombing has nothing to do with islam. It could be the other way around - it is the islam that have everything to do with the bombing.
