There is really nothing I can say about the events that have transpired in Mumbai. The only reason for this post is for fear that any relative silence from this part of the world be mistaken by the readers of the other side of the world that such a horrific event has gone unacknowledged and un-condemned by the silent majority. In truth, between family, friends and colleagues, Mumbai and Gaza seem to be the talk of the town today, with many shaking heads abound. Two cities, two peoples, two forms of suffering. The world is tragically ironic some times.
From a bird’s eye view, it’s times like these that I wonder if the human race even has the capacity for peace.
very tragic indeed. I have to resist staying glued to the TV……it just adds to the feeling frustratingly helpless
What exactly are you condemning? Be specific.
You are right, and I appreciate your willingness to condemn it. We are also thinking about Gaza, today.
and the mass slaughter in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and Somalia, and…the western media teaches us how to depreciate and under value Arab and Muslim lives by focusing the spotlight away from places where NATO and Anglozionists shoot and starve Arabs and Muslims with total impunity. worse than this is the official Arab media which seems to take its cues from the Western media. That’s why I read the official Arab press whenever I need to unload a bad meal. Eshee be 7’arree.
still what happened in India is inexcusable and unjustifiable.
I wonder when will the day will come when our people will flush the so called fundamentalist islamists down the toilet!!
ammar, and do us a favor while at it and flush Israel and NATO along with them. the two seem to create the perfect conditions for radicalism to thrive and in a way they feed on the presence of the radicalism they engender to justify their missions and budgets. it’s the alliance for terror. israel and americans kill innocent arabs and Muslims with impunity, radicals hit back against innocents. it goes on and on and the poor people pay the price for israel and india’s lust for territory and West’s lust for oil. not much has changed in centuries. it’s all about natural resources but with an ideological camouflage. sometimes slaughter takes place in the name of democracy and human rights other times in the name of religion and God giving orders to Bush. that’s lots flushing that you have to do.
Nas,you are correct. I wouldn’t be suprised if there was a wider connection between the Islamist terrorists who attacked in 2005 the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the Radisson SAS Hotel, and the Days Inn in Amman and the Islamists in Gaza firing Grad rockets at civilians in Israel and the Islamists who now attacked Taj and Trident-Oberoi hotels and attacking the Jewish Chabad centre in Mumbai killing the Rabbi,his wife and 140 Indians and tourists others in Mubai.
You are correct nas.Islamic terrorism is worldwide
A, or whatever your name, thank you for explaining yourself. had you been neutral you would have condemned terror of all kind, including terror being committed by US, Israel, and NATO against innocent arabs and muslims. you proved to be nothing more than an extremist yourself. you are a person who sees the death of arabs as an unimportant event. you are part of the problem.
re: A. (reply #7) .. the lebanese have a saying .. it goes “khayyit bghair hal msalleh” .. bas nice try 😉
regarding mumbai ya its always tragic whenever theres a loss of innocent life .. i was surprised to learn theres a jewish center there .. is there such a thing as indian jews??
Mo. Re your question. Very much so. There was a vibrant Jewish coummunity in both Bombay and Calcutta for many hundreds of years. The well known Sassoon family originate from Bombay and there are still family members there. The Jewish community of yesteryear India had good relations with the Muslims and Hindus, as well as the Christians and Parsees. Now ? I do not know what the situation is.
hmmmmm .. never knew that.
i did some more research and found this if anyone is interested ..

according to the article the majority of indian jews went to israel and now only 75,000 remain.
Dear Muslims,
I know that not all of all you are behind all these attacks, still I do know that many are you are against anything that is not of Muslim origin…. be it cultural, political or economical.
Beings against anything and everything that is not Muslim helps such attacks. They give moral support. They give encouragement.
I am an American and a New Yorker. My city has faced Muslim wrath.
To the Muslims of the world : DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DEDLARE WAR AGAINST EVERONE THAT IS NOT MULSIM?
You are a minority on this earth, you will lose. You are not only a minority of the world’s population but most notably of technology.
Please get over yourself, and stop being so spoiled. Just grow up.
I really wonder now who is the most hated people on earth, Americans or Muslims?
Given that America has learned from its mistakes and elected Obama, it is now Muslims. If not now, but soon that Muslims will be the most hated group in the world. This is not out of racism, but out of the action that are done under the name of Islam.
To the Muslim of the world : PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The rest of the world just sees you as spoiled children of your version of God.
No more can Muslims claim that their religion is THE religion of peace.

@ Austin,
i can write a book, and i wont run out of stuff to say to you….. but no i dont have the time or energy,
usually i dont even consider replying, but well you just tackled the issue in an interesting way…
just going through major points, dude true most of Muslim dont like “some” western habits, drinking bear and random sex, hell even public, the list goes on… the hell with u, do watever u like, its not my business, and im speaking of the 1.3 Muslims who live in middle east,Africa, southeast Asia, Europe Latin America etc etc etc.. do u see 1.3 Muslims raiding your ass?
i mean are we “that” close minded, and lame, to start war over that?(ofc this is an expression, we started nothing, basic rule dude, war is started coz of Land and money, land = money and money = land…oil=spend less money, u get the pic)
sept 11… i’ve seen endless theories,, bottom line, its too big to be done by few arabs (and u already mention the tech part), additionally the World trade center is Aircraft and earthquakes proof(was designed that way).
“You are a minority on this earth, you will lose. You are not only a minority of the world’s population but most notably of technology.”
the US is the minority, and its the one going against 90% of the world. check the “do you like USA” polls
“most” of the world likes Muslims over US..
anyways what caught my attention is the “wake up”…. dudes Muslims are “sleeping” atm, if they woke up, they will free Palestine, Iraq, Somal, Afghanistan, Syria and so on…
why dont “you” wake up too, cause your judging all the 1.3 billion with a few hundreds. those who does those terrorist attacks such as Mumbai, and remember not everyone caring a gun is a terrorist, Britain used to call Americans as terrorist when they wanted freedom some 100s years ago.
Lots of ppl needs to wake up, but the best candidate would be the US, i mean Murdering 1housands in Afghanistan, and 600,000 iraqi, 600,000+ dude!(i think im outdated in numbers, probably its much more by now)
not to mention the millions killed by Israel, who guess what? is backed by the US, funny eh?
believe it or not, we are minding out own business, actually we are minding it so much, that most of us give a blind eye to the murders and thefts committed by your cute country and its allies.
1.3 = 1.3 Billion*
“ do u see 1.3 Muslims raiding your ass?â€
No, but I see many many many Muslims attacking everyone in the world who is not Muslim.
1.3, is still a minority of the world’s population.
“sept 11… I’ve seen endless theories,, bottom line, its too big to be done by few arabs “
Yes, and stupid illogical theories at that. Yes, take pride in this?, a few Arabs did do this.
“ 90% of the worldâ€
That poll I believe will change in the future. I live in Asia, and a thing I have noticed is that Muslims are taking the place as the most hated group here. I am betting that this trend will continue.
“ Palestineâ€
As I have said before on this blog, the Israel / Palestine issue is complicated in the extreme. If asked I can argue both points of view.
“Iraqâ€
America is in some ways trying to do to Iraq what it did for Germany and Japan. Look at Germany and Japan today… would that be such a horrible future for Iraq.
“Somaliâ€
Bill Clinton tried to be a good person here, lesson learned… just let them kill themselves.
“Afghanistanâ€
That country’s government declared war against my country and my city…. we should have just nuked them and left it at that. But no, we are trying to for them what we did for Germany and Japan.
“Syriaâ€
I do not understand why you including this country in the list?
“why dont “you†wake up too, cause your judging all the 1.3 billion with a few hundreds. those who does those terrorist attacks such as Mumbaiâ€
I am saying WAKE UP, because it is only the Muslims out of all the religions of the world that is declaring war against everyone that is not like them…. it is only a matter of time until everyone else reacts.
In fairness you also have versions of Islam declaring war against other version of Islam… this is something that the other religions grew out of a few hundred year ago. LOL
“Lots of ppl needs to wake up, but the best candidate would be the US, i mean Murdering 1housands in Afghanistan, and 600,000 iraqi, 600,000+ dude!(i think im outdated in numbers, probably its much more by now)”
These people would not have had to have died if America was free to bring these countries in modern times without the onslaught of people brought about by the idea that anything American or western is evil by definition.
Their blood is on your hands… not Americas.
Rather their blood is your hands and people like you hands, that have popularized the idea in the Muslim world that anything western or American is evil by definition.
