I was worried about some of my friends over there for a wedding then on the news one of my friends gets a radio interview and starts cracking jokes(whilst still hiding out in a restaurant), but this style of attack is extremely scary.

    Yeah the whole situation is pretty fi1[/i]ucked up at the moment. Apparently they've targeted US and UK citizens when taking hostages. Hope your friends are ok.

    a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/AnnCoulter/2008/11/26/terrorists_restless_leg_syndrome" target="_blank"1ann coulter/a1 b, 21b, 21I thought the rest of the world was going to love us if we elected B. Hussein Obama! Somebody better tell the Indian Muslims.b, 21b, 21As everyone but President-elect B. Hussein Obama's base knows, many of the Guantanamo detainees cannot be sent to their home countries, cannot be released and cannot be tried. They need to be held in some form of extra-legal limbo the rest of their lives, sort of like Phil Spector.b, 21b, 21And now they're Obama's problem.b, 21b, 21If Obama wants his detention of Islamic terrorists to be dramatically different from Bush's Guantanamo, my suggestion is that he cut off -- so to speak -- the expensive prosthetic limb procedures now being granted the detained terrorists.b, 21b, 21Far from being sodomized and tortured by U.S. forces -- as Obama's base has wailed for the past seven years -- the innocent scholars and philanthropists being held at Guantanamo have been given expensive, high-tech medical procedures at taxpayer expense. If we're not careful, multitudes of Muslims will be going to fight Americans in Afghanistan just so they can go to Guantanamo and get proper treatment for attention deficit disorder and erectile dysfunction.b, 21b, 21After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001, Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S. taxpayer. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, Massoud would now be able to park his car bomb in a handicapped parking space!b, 21b, 21No, you didn't read that wrong, because the VA won't pay for your new glasses. I said $75,000. I would have gone with hanging at sunrise, but what do I know?b, 21b, 21Upon his release in March 2004, Massoud hippity-hopped back to Afghanistan and quickly resumed his war against the U.S. Aided by his new artificial leg, just months later, in October 2004, Massoud masterminded the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in Pakistan working on the Gomal Zam Dam project.b, 21b, 21This proved, to me at least, that people with disabilities can do anything they put their minds to. Way to go, you plucky extremist!b, 21b, 21Massoud said he had nothing against the Chinese but wanted to embarrass Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for cooperating with the Americans. You know, the Americans who had just footed -- you should pardon the expression -- a $75,000 bill for his prosthetic leg.b, 21b, 21Pakistani forces stormed Massoud's hideout, killing all the kidnappers, including Massoud. Only one of the Chinese engineers was rescued alive.b, 21b, 21As a result of the kidnapping, the Chinese pulled all 100 engineers and dam workers out of Pakistan, and work on the dam ceased. This was bad news for the people of Pakistan -- but good news for the endangered Pakistani snail darter!b, 21b, 21In none of the news accounts I read of Massoud's return to jihad after his release from Guantanamo is there any mention of the fact that his prosthetic leg was acquired in Guantanamo, courtesy of American taxpayers after he was captured trying to kill Americans on the battlefield in Afghanistan.b, 21b, 21News about the prosthetic leg might interfere with stories of the innocent aid workers being held captive at Guantanamo in George Bush's AmeriKKKa.b, 21b, 21To the contrary, although Massoud's swashbuckling reputation as a jihadist with a prosthetic leg appears in many news items, where he got that leg is almost purposely hidden -- even lied about.b, 21b, 21"Abdullah Massoud ... had earned both sympathy and reverence for his time in Guantanamo Bay. ... Upon his release, he made it home to Waziristan and resumed his war against the U.S. With his long hair, his prosthetic limb and impassioned speeches, he quickly became a charismatic inspiration to Waziristan's youth." -- The New York Timesb, 21b, 21He's not a one-legged terrorist -- he's a freedom fighter living with a disability. I think we could all learn something about courage from this man.b, 21b, 21"He lost his leg in a landmine explosion a few days before the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in September 1996. It didn't dampen his enthusiasm as a fighter and he got himself an artificial leg later, says Yusufzai."( -- The Indo-Asian News Serviceb, 21b, 21Where? At COSTCO?b, 21b, 21"The 29-year-old Massoud, who lost his left leg in a landmine explosion while fighting alongside the Taliban, often used to ride a horse or camel because his disability made it painful for him to walk long distances in hilly areas." -- BBC Monitoring South Asiab, 21b, 21Side-saddle, I'm guessing. And you just know those caves along the Afghan-Pakistan border aren't wheelchair accessible.b, 21b, 21"He was educated in Peshawar and was treated in Karachi after his left leg was blown up in a landmine explosion in the Wreshmin Tangi gorge near Kabul in September 1996. He now walks with an artificial leg specifically made for him in Karachi." -- Gulf News (United Arab Emirates)b, 21b, 21Karachi? Hey, how do I get into this guy's HMO?b, 21b, 21They can't lick leprosy in Karachi, but the Gulf News tells us Massoud got his artificial leg at one of their specialty hospitals.b, 21b, 21Anyone who thinks the Guantanamo detainees can be released without consequence doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    Ann Coulter really need her hands chopped off. This bitch should marry O'Reilly. They would make wonderful kids. b, 21b, 21Anyway, the Mumbai ish is just an extent to the India/pakistan conflict that's been going for decades (ie: the Kashmir valley). They are taking things to another level because Islamist all around the World made a lot of dollars these last years. They was stackin' cheese, now they are ready to execute some plans. The Mumbai event was planned like a mug. Probably for a long time...Sad ish. I hate those cowards using God as an excuse. Whoever they are, and whatever religion they claim...Grow some balls and say what you mean instead of hiding behind God. Anyway...I'm going to sip on some Eggnog.

    Dudes, let's just skip all the Coulter distraction and get back on topic. b, 21b, 21What I'm really fearful of is some homicidal response directed at Muslims living in India. It seems like every time shit like this goes real bad, it ends up turning into crazy mob violence by the majority Hindu population against the Muslim minority.
  • spelunkspelunk 3,400 Posts
    Yup, the response to terrorist attacks in the past has been ugly. Muslims are already discriminated against by the government and I wouldn't be surprised if the government turned a blind eye to retaliatory attacks against them.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21still waiting on a response here; not a rhetorical question. these Islamist groups almost always cite Kashmir as their main motive in attacking India. discrimination against Muslims within India? I'm sure some of them feel that this exists, and no doubt there is unofficial prejudice among certain segments of the population toward Muslims, but what is the extent of governmental discrimination against Muslims in India?

    This article is interesting and may address some of Rootless' questions as to the status of Muslims in India: a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5247848.ece" target="_blank"1http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5247848.ece/a1
