Islamists Kill Jewish Hostages in Mumbai
By Andrew L. Jaffee, netwmd.com
Can there be any question of the deep hatred Islamists bare towards Jews? On Wednesday, Islamist terrorists went on a rampage in Mumbai, India, killing at least 144, wounding approximately 300, and taking hostages. Today, as the standoff between Indian security forces and Islamists continued to unfold, it was revealed that the terrorists killed all their Jewish captives:
In Mumbai, Indian commandos who stormed the city’s Jewish centre have found five dead hostages. Initial reports say that three of the terrorists holding them hostage were also killed. All the dead hostages are reported to be Israeli nationals. …
But the carnage wasn’t limited to Jews:
… Earlier in the day, Indian commandos freed 140 guests trapped in the Trident-Oberoi hotel. In another hotel, the Taj Mahal, a terrorist is still holed up and reportedly holding two hostages. The commandos say that in both hotels they saw the bodies of dozens of guests who had been shot dead.
The official death toll from Wednesday’s terrorist attacks now stands at 130, with more than 300 people injured. Among the dead are at least 11 foreigners, four of them German. …
How much carnage is enough to convince the majority of the world’s decent people that Islamism must be stopped, just as fascism and communism, two similar radical utopian ideologies, were defeated? How many vicious attacks have the Islamists wrought — 9/11, Madrid 3/11, Bali, Beslan, Iraqi Shiite and Sunni Muslims killing each other (30,000 - 50,000), the Amman bombing, etc? Do we continue to fight a half-hearted, tactical battle, putting out small fires here and there, or do we respond to Islamism with a massive, strategic assault and terminate this twisted ideology and its adherents once and for all? Remember what it took to defeat the German and Japanese fascists of WWII? It wasn’t pretty, but it was decisive.

I only pray that the world’s Muslims experience the hell they have brought upon others around the globe. All because they follow commands to murderous jihad from their “holy” scriptures.
Islam, NOT “ISLAMISM” as the PC pundits want you to believe, is a cancer upon humanity. And like cancer it and its adherents (tumors) must be destroyed, slowly and painfully. Anyone who refers to himself as a Muslim follows the Qur’an. In the Qur’an civilization is separated into two parts, “Dar al Islam”, the Ummah (Muslims) and “Dar al Harb”, the world of war - A/K/A we infidels.
Why do you think they refer to it as the world of war? Because they are at war to conquer us. That is the foundation of the Jihad.
We must destroy Islam or be destroyed by it. Make your choice, infidels.

I have not heard one Islamic leader of any significance take responsibility for how their minions are running around with bombs in their hands, hate in their minds and for the cowardly obeisance to a religion which is actually a user’s manual that points out the targets and asks them to proceed with mass murder to gain the upper hand against their “enemies.”
Whenever we get a statement from Islamic leaders they are accompanied by excuses for the bloody behavior by pretending that Muslims are somehow mistreated and disadvantaged by the West. Usually the statements come from some of the wealthiest men on earth who are the keepers of the faith and who benefit financially and spiritually from having their troops go around blowing up unarmed victims in the name of Islam.
We needs the guts to assert our own way of life against a religion which has no moral code, puts “thou shalt kill” at the top of its agenda and falsely blames the non-Islamic victims for the carnage brought on by the march of Islam to gain control. The fact that Muslim people suffer from the aspirations and goals set out in their writings, is of no concern to their heartless leaders.
And I am very tired of people in the media and the West providing the excuses for them, denying their responsibility, giving false reasons for their actions (it is our fault that they are doing this, for instance) and giving them the green light to proceed with more acts of carnage.
This is a war on Islamic terror which must expose and outlaw the violence in the Islamic scriptures and stop their ideology from spreading.

One commentator on the Belmont Club blog (a very find blog), has a very simple and interesting approach to all this:
Refreshing, no?

No. And the reason is that techniques used against those who want to kill us might be seen as “thuggery” too, and yet those techniques are usually quite necessary.

Ok Gary… But you can’t have it both ways. The problem is that what “might be seen” is irrelevant when the foot is on your neck. In other words we should be more concerned with saving face than saving ourselves and our families.
Frankly, I don’t give a damn what people think (which is exactly what the above commentator was saying). We “think” we know the aim of those who would do us harm but we have no way of determining if what we “think” is correct.
So we should just do as the commentator said: use the BIG stick… Which as you say, is usually quite necessary.

What we have in Pakistan (and India) is a bunch of Muslims whose ancestors were forcibly converted under the most dire circumstances. In order to justify their caving in (and who can blame them?) their offspring have set out to prove that all this “caving in” was in fact not caving in; it was essential, so that the REAL religion (Islam) could be accepted.
As a result, they have become even more fanatical than their original oppressors (if that’s possible).
Shame on them. If they had any balls, the would shun that religion and return to the religion of their ancestors, for which their ancestors paid so dearly.

I suggest you read Andrew Bostom’s The Legacy of Jihad to find out that India’s original Islamic oppressors committed far more massive acts of savagery.

I am not sure what you mean by the above statement, Keelie, but I think that we essentially want the same end result - and if that means using methods that are not 100% sanctioned by the UN and the World Court, then so be it.
We did not start the war, we did not ask for the war, we do not want the war; but, now that war is upon us, let’s fight it both ideologically and with all the wisdom and stealth and advanced weapons of a society which is under threat of extinction at the hands of barbarians.

Shy Guy,
I read the piece by Srdja Trifkovic, so I understand what you’re saying. My impression (and it’s only an impression) is that the current batch of savages would do (or try to do) even worse things than their predecessors, if that’s possible, but these days they are up against better armed and trained defenders.
With a little luck, Indian writers may be in a position to enlighten the world on the true nature of the “Religion of Peace”.

Gary, the statement was wrongly phrased; it should have been more of a (rhetorical) question.
In other words, I’m 100% behind what you’re saying. I think the Muslims have got to feel pain “big-time” so that they will have to back off. Right now, they feel that anything goes, because they have such strong support in the West.

Actually, the terrorists did those people a favor - the people they murdered actually went to Heaven, while they are still on this planet an headed for hell- quite a good deal!
