Godspeed to the families in India forced to endure carnage and murderous deviancy on such a scale that it becomes a weekly occurance. A friend of mine over there told me in a recent email that she has given up reading the daily newspaper, it had become too traumatizing to learn of such massacres at such a frequency. Godspeed especially to her, to find the courage to continue to live in hope...

The New York Times suggests that it could be Rightwing Hindu terrorists upset with the government who did this, and then there's the other suggestion that it could be a Muslim criminal gang avenging the deaths of Muslims sometime somewhere. Anything but Islam.
Arguing about whether this "Deccan Mujahideen" is being islamically orthodox in its Satanism can go on forever. We can't settle that. We can however call on our governments to take up the causes of the ordinary Indian people to help insure their freedom and continued participation in the global economy. We must stand in solidarity with actual people, with the victims of the left-Islamist alliance that would appease the terrorists, time and again. My prayers go out for the families of those killed and maimed.
