printThe background to India’s woes is expertly narrated by Srdja Trifkovic of Chronicles Magazine. Hint: It all began with the invasion of Mo’s followers:
“Teams of heavily armed terrorists carried out seven coordinated attacks in India’s financial capital Mumbai (Bombay) on Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning. At least 78 people were reported killed and over 200 wounded, with the final toll likely to rise. Similar attacks by Islamic terrorists occur with depressing regularity in India (see Timetable at the end of this article). The disputed province of Kashmir notwithstanding, militant Islam sees the second most populous country in the world as “unfinished business”: having been ruled by Muslims once, it cannot legitimately revert to Dar al-Harb.
Prior to the Muslim invasions which started in the 8th century India was one of the world’s great civilizations. It matched its contemporaries in the realms of philosophy, mathematics, and natural science. It was a richly imaginative culture, one of the half-dozen most advanced civilizations of all time. Its sculptures were vigorous and sensual, its architecture ornate and spellbinding.
Muslim invaders began entering India in the early eighth century, on the orders of Hajjaj, the governor of Iraq. Starting in 712 the raiders, commanded by Muhammad Qasim, demolished temples, shattered sculptures, plundered palaces, killed vast numbers of men—it took them three days to slaughter the inhabitants of the port city of Debal—and carried off their women and children to slavery. After the initial wave of violence, however, Qasim tried to establish law and order in the newly conquered lands, and to that end he even allowed a degree of religious tolerance. Upon hearing of such practices, his superior, Hajjaj, wrote back:
You go on giving pardon to everybody, high or low, without any discretion between a friend and a foe. The great Allah says in the Kuran [47.4]: “O True believers, when you encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads.” The above command is a great command and must be respected and followed. You should not be so fond of showing mercy, as to nullify the virtue of the act. Henceforth, grant pardon to no one of the enemy and spare none of them, or else all will consider you a weak-minded man.
In a subsequent communication, Hajjaj reiterated that all able-bodied men were to be killed, and that their underage sons and daughters were to be enslaved. Qasim obeyed, and, on his arrival at the town of Brahminabad, massacred thousands of men. …”

When will the “fun” begin here in the U.S.? With wide open borders and a growing muslim population, how long before we start seeing bombings on a regular basis here?
That was a superb article. It pains me how the evil actions Muslims have been undertaking against Hindus and Jews for centuries have been completely whitewashed by left wing academia and mainstream media
The New York Times has had some fun with the potential, theoretical, hypothetical “activists” and “militants” who are, of course, NOT
T-E-R-####-I-S-T-S. The possible activists just happen to take their “Religion of Peace” seriously. The activists just happened to kill Gabi and Rivki Holtzberg – and as the Times reports about a “Brooklyn couple” being killed:
“It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental hostage scene”*** – Also killed were 2 members of a mystic group named Synchronicity from Virginia whose names were Alan and Naomi Scherr who sound J-E-#-#-S-H (Hint: rhymes with Bluish). Apparently this evil Naomi Scherr was a 13 year old girl and might have been mistaken for a Zionist Oppressor of the Religion of Peace. – – – Well, if Prime Minister Singh responds as intelligently as Bush has, I expect the “Hinduist Entity” (that is the illicit occupied territory that lies between Pakistan and Bangladesh) to launch an invasion of Uruguay! Bonus question: was Rabbi Holtzberg’s last words: “The surge is working”?? {{*** UPDATE – the NYTimes removed the sentence in its latest on-line edition
and even promoted the hypothetical activists to terrorists in its reporting! Amazing!}}
Ms Mercer: Please: If there is ANYTHING the Politically Correct Western authorities do NOT want, it is a bit of historical knowledge! We must face the challenge of these Islamic terrorists as though they are a wholly new eruption in the history of mankind (without historical precedent). We must remember to propagate faithfully the meme that the motivation of these terrorists is the the “mistreatment” they have received from Christians (especially American Christians) and Jews (all Jews). Remember: These “activists” are “martyrs” with “legitimate” grievances against George Bush, the USA, Israel, Hindus, and — for all I know — Ilana Mercer and her merry band of blog-readers! These “activists” must be spoken of with respect and admiration (hey, they are so dedicated that they are willing to KILL liberal Westerners like pigs!). Repeat after me: Islam is the “Religion of P-E-A-C-E!” The correct answer is appeasement. Rather, surrender of more Israeli territory — and appeasement on our own soil, as well!
