Yet Israel is the only nation in the world expected to appease these people.

Israel has no greater a friend in Asia than the Indian people. I pray for the Rabbi and his family and hope we show these vermin no mercy wherever they may hide. Men don't fight like this.

What does this tell me? Israel from God's perspective is America (Manasseh), the British Commonwealth (Ephraim), Israel in the Middle East (Judah), primarily. Israel is coming under judgment and unless there is repentance for fornication, murders, abortions and other sins, judgment will become floods and fires. The coastal cities (called isles in the Bible) will burn. Deuteronomy describes what happens when nations forget God: drought, floods, fires, famine, pestilence, invasion, captivity. The rest of the world will be judged, too, in WWIII and at Armageddon. But the beginning of judgments will be with the people who are called by God's name who have turned away from God.

As you said, #2, honorable men do not fight in this manner.

Query: Is it possible that the Indian terrorist believe that if they kill some Jews, then much of the world will not condemn whatever else they do?

Don't you have anything better to do? Like taking a nice walk, a glass of wine, or simply to enjoy friends' company? The world is getting tired of your religious crap, which is the root cause of mysery and conflict. Awaken to the truth, and world of science and harmony.

From our end, we feel your pain. We've been there - we're still there, really - and we support you in your time of need and feel your hurt. The average Israeli seems India as a friend and a potential major ally in times to come. We face similar hardships, and are set in such locations and hold such resources that we can help each other immensely. I doubt even our current inept government will ruin that, but your own... Your own government has rather failed when it comes to taking up Pakistan on its doublespeak. They speak of peace on the one hand, and don't do a thing about their own armed groups (some of which their secret services founded and fund to this day). They seem to want to eat the cake and keep it at the same time. But as one with a historical outlook, I remember that India didn't want relations with Israel as long as it meant potential hardships with its relations with Arab and Muslim countries. I hope India won't sacrifice the relations with Israel in some bit to calm the fanatics - and frankly, it won't even change anything, other than losing India one major ally in the area.

After 9/11, the Arabs thought that US will become sort of a Muslim state. May be it sounds stupid for Americans but terrorists believe it. The had to wait 7 years to see Obama came to poert, and they believe that without 9/111 he would had never been supported, especially by US student ("we like Obama because he is Muslim student in Princeton said).

Seems to me the fundamentalists do harm where they can get in easily. And this seems more like a show off for new recruits, and propaganda in times of crisis for them. Al Quaida is in decline and here they found a desperate way to be in the press worldwide. A la fundamentalists. India also seems has a problem with security, they were not ready. Expect more attacs like this in unsecure countries.

To Pepe', Do the muslims in spain still practice islam? If you want everyone in the World to be secular, then why are you not telling the muslims in spain to be secular? As far as I remember, islam is still a religion. Passivism will destroy spain, Pepe'.

I find *you* to be an arrogant bigot, blind to the limitations and supremacist slants of your own ideals. I saw them in the Soviet Union - the anti-religious slurs, the focus on "order" and "logic" which only led to treating people like cogs in a machine, ants in a hive... people became secondary to the central societal ideal. People became nothing. And died accordingly. And it wasn't the first time it happened for such reasons in history. Read about the other revolutions of such proponents of Logic and Reason. Start with the French one. And think about what it led to. And about how foolish your words are. It isn't ideals that kill people - it is the people who twist them for their ends who kill them.

LOL... give me a break. Atheism is a joke. The cause of the world's problems is not religion, but is caused by a certain religion. The religion of peace. How many murders are done in the name of satan, aka allah? Lots. Nobody kills while screaming Jesus is Lord!

Only when the world acknowledges that the Quran is an instruction book for violence and murder will a solution to Islamic Facist Terrorism end. Global enlightened nations must insist that Islamic countries reform their interpretation of the Quran. When that process happens world peace will be closer than ever.

1) the attack is a direct response to recently published details about how India and the USA are working together to dismember Pakistan into 3 parts, waziristan, pakistan and baluchistan. 2) the attack was planned and executed within a very very short time. 3) Christmas is neither here nor there, the attack was on Thanksgiving 4) Author is right on one thing, Israel is a primary target 5) The Mohammedan Pakistanis are the primary root of all evil in the region, whether it's Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir.

where you go and what you do so they can poison you or have your friends tell lies to throw you into jail. The Roman Catholics do not kill while screaming Jesus is Lord, but they do kill. One way they kill is with the eucharist wafer that is poisoned for those selected to die. Then they say, THAT person must have SINNED. The Catholics also use the Muslims to kill for them. The Spanish Civil War with General Franco as a front man for the Jesuit General, led a Muslim mercenary army to open Spain back up to the Jesuits who had been thrown out.

I agree with you totally, religion is the source of all wars and disasters, religion shouldn't be out of mosques and churches or synagogue

people once upon a time. They called Inquisition, Crusade, and Saving Souls. Don't be ignorant of the history of Christian Europe from the early Middle Ages onwards. It's a gruesome and bloody history. And yet Christianity isn't used as a justification for forced conversion and genocide anymore. To me, this means change is possible - and that it isn't about the religion as much as the people playing around with its tenets. Don't be ignorant of the past. Without it, you can never quite understand the present - or plan for the future. Islam can change - if only Muslims realize that so much has stagnated, and that lunatics have taken over.

Muslims do believe that every attack will bring Islam to rule. They attacked US because they thought that Bush will never respond. Muslims voted 1005 for Bush in 2000 (he won Michigan). In 2004, he lost all Muslims and Michigan. Students do like Obama because as a Muslim he will never respond (and they also think that Arabs wouldn't attack USA because of Obama -stupid).

Killing innocent human beings should not be tolerated by any peace loving human soul on this planet. No religious and ideological differences can justify such inhumane acts of terrorism. Justifying terrorism is equivalent to committing terrorism.

People outside of the region don't understand the hate of Islamic Pakistan against Hindu India - both armed with nuclear weapons. This attack could very well be intended to try and provoke a nuclear confrontation between the two - the Islamic whackos who carried out this attack all believe in suicide, and what more glorious suicide than a nuclear inferno? And if anybody doubts the stupidity of allowing Iran to develop nuclear power, remember well that it was a short-sighted Canadian government that sold a nuclear reactor to India in the 1960's for "peaceful purposes." Sound familiar? India's bomb provoked Pakistan to develop their own nuclear weapons. Watch this conflict, but remember we MUST stop Iran from developing a bomb, that they'd possibly give to terrorist animals like the ones who attacked Mumbai.

USA killed more many people, went to so many wars than any other country in the world... Should I blame the Christian faith for your arrogance? Zionism used Judaism to steal a land, and evict the native people and settle their land, should I blame Judaism? Look in the mirror and see your aggression before you start accusing others... Yes, the majority of Muslims look at these acts as barbaric and immature and do not represent the Muslims in anyway. The fact is that the west has been on the offensive in the Islamic world for at least a century and supporting a facist state called Israel.

the Palestinians peace in their land!

"Unless those days are cut short no flesh would survive." That can only mean nuclear warfare, since conventional weapons would always leave some survivors.

Thats the only reason they chose Chabad, there wernt any school busses for them to bomb, and the Nuns are all tucked up in bed. i am sure the Indian police will do a good job of interegating these cowardly scum.

while i agree that religion was and is often an excuse for evil people to switch off their own conscience that they may commit terrible deeds. it is on the other hand absolutely correct to warn people of the consequences of their own sinful life. i dare not say why the people in India had to die and suffer, but those who trust in Him will never be forsaken. May the Lord bless those who are in danger and be saved, may it be an incentive and alarming bell for many to start a new life with the God of Heaven and Earth. Shalom

well maybe if the government and police were not so corrupt and maybe if the people didn't shit in the street in public and maybe if they didn't worship cows but instead worship Hashem.then maybe they wouldn't have so many problems which reminds me have you ever wondered why we have so many problems in israel---you don't suppose that we might be doing something that G-D isn't too pleased about do you ?

You're a perfect example of Muslim self induced religious delusions. You have been aggressors since the time of Mohammed, raping, pillaging and forcefully converting native inhabitants on pain of death. You have never gotten over the fact that the infidel Christians stopped you! You can blame the Jews for "stealing" land, (not true), but you can be sure of one thing. IF there were no Israel there would never be any Palistinians. They would be all Syrians or Lebanese or Jordanians or Egyptians...and loving it. The only non-fascist state in the middle east is Israel not any of your theocratic regimes who were allies of the fascist nazis. Hopefully it will be you and your fascist brethren who will be stopped.

We are told that there is a difference between extremist Islam and peaceloving normal Islam. Judging by their behavior, Muslims are anti-West, anti-Democracy, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Buddhist, and anti-Hindu. Muslims are involved in 25 of some 30 conflicts going on in the world: in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bosnia, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Cyprus, East Timor, India, Indonesia (2 provinces), Kashmir, Kazakastan, Kosovo, Kurdistan, Macedonia, the Middle East, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, Sudan, Russia-Chechnya, Tajikistan, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan. Doesn’t this mean that extremist Islam is the norm and normal Islam is extremely rare? More at : http://xrl.us/bj3ri
