Them
I was sitting at Costco, filling my gas tank up - $1.84 a gallon. As I do, when I am sitting at Costco - I turn the radio on.
I heard the radio personality make a few comments about Mumbai and the killers having originated from Mumbai/India. I think we have sorted out the fact - they were not, if any, from India. Britain and Pakistan surely played a role in providing killers for the attack on Mumbai (formerly and currently known as Bombay to people with old maps). Although given some of the details that have emerged, it is possible these were Hindu killers, terrorists without a conscience, desiring death, more than life. This is still very much in flux - as to who exactly they were.
It is very upsetting for some people to hear about these events. They do not like the generalizations that are made, nor do they like having their religion 'attacked'. The problem is - it is their religion that feeds the murderous rage of the killers. If they were not Muslim, the issue remains the same - terrorists / killers, the most barbaric of which need to be stopped any way possible.
The likelihood that a group of Christians wake up one morning and decide, in the name of Jesus or God, to set out to kill and slaughter innocents of the Buddhist or Jewish faith - you are more likely to be hit by a meteor moments after you win the global powerball, and received notice that you were unanimously elected Secretary General of the UN. The likelihood that a group of Christians wake up in the morning and decide, in the name of God or Jesus, to slaughter Muslims - you are more likely to be hit by frozen space junk, moments before a UFO lands and Keanu Reeves steps out carrying Megan Fox, who jumps from his arms and runs to you, wrapping a medallion around your neck signifying that you are King of all the Earth.
Is it possible that people who are, or claim to be Christian, wake up one morning and kill Jews or Muslims? Yes.
Is there a difference? Yes, and it is a significant difference.
The killers in Mumbai woke up three days ago and decided, in the name of Allah, to slaughter innocents. They sought out Americans and British citizens, they held Jews hostage and killed a several. If not in the name of Allah, there are plenty of cases where killers did wake up and blow up trains in India, in the name of Allah. If these terrorists killed for their Hindu extremism, they need to be erased from human memory as quickly as possible.
There is a difference.
Those who adhere to that philosophy are not criminals, for it permeates Islam. Either the toleration of, or the support and appreciation of those who slaughter innocents is widespread. It is not just a few criminals, as is the case in Sudan with the Lords Army. The person who heads the Lords Army is a killer and a criminal. He is also one man and is not supported by any Christian church. He is vile and loathsome. He is a pariah, and as a Christian we can say with certainty - he will go to hell for his actions.
I do not care why he does what he does. I do not care what his motivations or intentions are - he kills innocents and that will secure him a place in hell.
NOW - when Muslims can say the same thing about Islamic killers - then we are on the road to recovery. Hindu's tend to be very passive. There is an element in India that are not passive, BUT selecting British and American citizens and Jews, is very odd.
This is not an attack on over 1 billion Muslims, who do not seek to spread the blood of innocents on the conscience of man. It is a very narrowly defined group, but one that numbers hundreds of thousands and even a few million.
They cannot be negotiated with, they have no desire to negotiate - they only desire to help you die. They are a plague upon mankind.
[Some discussion in India as to whether these murderers were Hindu extremists - where they began their killing spree is near the Chhatrapati Shivaji Train, named after a Hiundu ruler who fiercely opposed Muslims. Except - they picked on Americans (typically Christian; on British citizens, also typicaly Christian; and on Jews - all of whom do not get along well with Muslims). You do not pick a site where the ruler opposed Muslims and instead you kill Jews and Americans. Also some mention of one of the killers having a red band around their wrist - some connection to Hinduism. If however, they are/were Hindu, they would not be entering India from the sea - they would have driven or walked to the spot where they murdered. The authorities know the ship they debarked from - and it was not a Hindu ship. In previous attacks/killings by the Hindu terrorists, they selected government functionaries and Indians - NOT American, British, and Jews. The Hindu extremist killers have also claimed responsibility in the past - this time, they didn't - instead, an Islamic group claimed responsibility. When the indian government began capturing the killers, they revealed some of their nationalities and origins - and Pakistan kept coming up. Hindu extrremists who hate Muslims would not be living in Pakistan. For the above reasons, it would seem less likely that it is Hindu, and if anything, was an attempt to cover up until the very end, who these murderers were.]
