Speaking of the Mumbai Muslim terror attacks:
The issue is terrorism. Right? The issue is the terrible, needless deaths of 200 people and the awful tragedy of those who will forever be scarred by the murderous act of a handful of evil men. Right? The issue is the failure of our intelligence agencies and our criminal justice system and the inability of our government to understand that terrorism is undeclared war. Right? The issue is India’s security in which both Hindus and Muslims have an equal stake. Right?
Yet, if you watched television coverage of the carnage on Mumbai’s trains, read your newspapers or listened to the speeches of our political leaders, you would think that the only issue was to not hurt Muslim feelings. There were no communal riots after the 1993 Mumbai bombings or after the attacks on temples in Ahmedabad, Ayodhya and Varanasi but there was more talk of communal harmony than terrorism. Hardly anybody mentioned the words ‘jehad’ or ‘jehadi’ or that Islamist terrorist organisations openly talk of their ‘jehad’ against Hindu India.
