I am in complete empathy and solidarity with India.  It is outrageous to the extreme that Nokia would segment off Kashmir to Pakistan without any reference to Kashmir’s history of more than five thousand years of a rich cultural Hindu tradition and a unique religious philosophy of the universality of man, peace and amity amongst peoples. 

What Nokia did to India is identical to what the PLO does on its propaganda maps regarding Israel: remove Israel and replace it with the manufactured entity of “Palestine”.  It is outrageous.  My wish is that Israelis would defend what is legitimately theirs with the same passion that Indian Hindus do; anything less is akin to surrendering to Islamism.

DEVELOPING: An explosive device has been found at Mumbai’s main train station, Indian television reports.

This is a developing story. Refresh page for updates.

A very good article on the muslim attack on Mumbai, how it was executed, and the callousness of the muslim during the rampage and how he morphed into a spineless surviving coward afterwards begging for his own life.  Please read the article in full.  It is important to know how sleeper cells behave.  If you see something, say something.  Excerpted from DailyMail:

This is the only surviving gunman of the massacre in Mumbai. Seconds after this picture was taken, 21-year-old Azam Amir Kasav began to kill.

He and the terror cell’s leader began their attacks at the city’s Chhatrapati Shivaji rail station.

They later hijacked two cars, before police caught them. During two days of questioning, Kashmiri-born Kasav, who used the alias Ajmal Kasab, told police: ‘I have no regrets’.

He is said to have told officers the cell was to seek out ‘white targets, preferably British and American’.

He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages. He then added that their intention was to kill 5,000 people.

As it is, their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces.

Once inside Nair Hospital, Kasav, who suffered only minor injuries, told medical staff: ‘I do not want to die. Please put me on saline.‘

And Kasav described how he and an accomplice sprayed machine-gun fire around a busy railway station, killing dozens of people, before intending to move to the exclusive district of Malabar Hill, where they planned to ‘take VIPs hostage’.

According to the account of Kasav’s interrogation, given by police sources, the terrorists were trained over five months in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, then had a month off before the attacks. At some stage, they also received intensive instruction in ‘marine assault‘ operations.

Kasav and the nine other terrorists, who communicated using BlackBerry mobiles, began their journey to Mumbai on November 21.

Initially unarmed, they left an isolated beach near Karachi in a small boat, before being picked up the following day by a larger vessel.

At this point they were each given eight hand grenades, an AK-47 rifle, an automatic pistol and ammunition. And in anticipation of a lengthy siege, they also carried dried fruit.

Kasav told police that the group then hijacked a fishing trawler bearing the name Kuber near the maritime boundary between Pakistan and India.

Four of its crew are missing while the fifth has been found dead, apparently beheaded. Its owner and his brother are being questioned by police.

On November 23, after reaching Porbandar in the Indian state of Gujarat, 310 nautical miles from Mumbai, the insurgents were intercepted by two coastguard officers. The group hoisted a white flag and allowed the two men to board their boat.

According to Kasav, one of the militants then attacked one of the officers, slitting his throat and throwing him overboard. The other man was forced to help the group reach their destination before being executed as the vessel drew near to Mumbai.

For most of the journey, Kasav’s friend, 25-year-old Abu Ismail, a trained sailor, steered the vessel using GPS equipment. Three speedboats met the Kuber a mile and a half from the Mumbai seafront on Wednesday. After waiting for the light to fade, they moved off, later transferring to two inflatable dinghies to go ashore.

While his colleagues were executing hostages at the Taj, Kasav and Ismail first opened fire with their assault rifles at around 10.20pm, killing dozens of people standing at Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station.

Then they hijacked a police 4×4, killing the two officers inside. Kasab told investigators they continued their killing spree by attacking a petrol station and blowing up a taxi before being stopped.

‘I have done right,’ he told investigators. ‘I have no regrets.’

One police source said: ‘He [Kasav] was telling our people this in a most dispassionate way and responded to the horror their faces betrayed by shrugging his shoulders, as if it was all of no real consequence.’

Sources said tests on Kamal’s blood and urine showed he was under the influence of drugs to help keep him alert during the long battles with Indian security forces.

Israel Police forensic teams will be heading to Mumbai Sunday on an Air Force plane in order to offer their assistance in identifying the remaining bodies in the Chabad House massacre.

Mumbai terror victims (Top row: Rivka and Gavriel Holtzberg; bottom row: Bentzion Chroman, Yocheved Orpaz, Leibish Teitlebaum)

Officials are saying that eight or nine people were murdered at the Jewish center. Six bodies have been identified so far – five Israelis and a Jewish Mexican national.

The names of the five Israeli victims have been cleared for publication:

• Rivka Holtzberg
• Gavriel Holtzberg
• Leibish Teitlebaum
• Bentzion Chroman
• Yocheved Orpaz

I want to see the autopsy photos.  I realize how morbid and perverted that sounds, but I need to know that they exist. I want them broadcast all over the evening news. I want little kids to have nightmares over them. If the rest of the world and I don’t see those photos, we know what will happen. Muslims will deny that this ever happened. The MSM will deny it too. Everyone will claim that this story was a Jewish plot. Eisenhower, with good reason and remarkable foresight, ordered that endless photos be taken of the concentrations camps during and after WWII because he knew without photographic evidence everyone would deny it all. They do anyway, but they know and we know that we’re wrong. I want those photos. Who is witholding them?

I want to see them too.

And so the spin and damage control begins and Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International, is leading the campaign. Even though the murdered are not yet buried and the total number of murdered are not yet tallied, Fareed Zakaria has written the following about the Islamic terror attack in Mumbai in this week’s Newsweek. He blames the attack on poverty.  But being a practicing Muslim himself, he wouldn’t have the guts to blame it on anything else.  This is Muslim identity politics at work.  What’s worst, is that America still swallows the pablum that Islam is a religion of peace in spite of the 1,400 years of empirical evidence that it is not:  Via Newsweek:

One misconception is the assumption that these attacks were aimed primarily at foreigners. Look at their targets.

The two hotels they attacked – the Taj and the Oberoi – are old, iconic Indian hotels. It used to be true that these places were affordable only by Westerners, but today they are filled with Indian businessmen.

If the aim was to hit Americans or other Westerners, the big American chains all have hotels there, and there are many more distinctly American targets.

One of the untold stories of India is that the Muslim population has not shared in the boom the country has enjoyed over the last ten years. There’s enough alienation out there that there are locals who can be drawn in to plots.

That tends to be a pattern, from Madrid to Casablanca to Bali – some hard-core jihadis who indoctrinate alienated locals they can seduce.

It is outrageous that Zakaria would print such a falsehood.  The Islamic terrorists in Mumbai attacked famous sites like the Taj hotel precisely because foreigners were inside.

The Muslim terrorists reportedly asked hostages their nationality. Among those that were held captive include Americans, British, Italians, Swedes, Canadians, Yemenis, New Zealanders, Spaniards, Turks, a Singaporean and Israelis.  Not foreigners?  Shyeah, riiiiight.

Of course, Fareed Zakaria’s article does not explain why innocent Jews at Nariman House, the Jewish resident center in Mumbai were murdered in cold blood, but it doesn’t matter because the spin has begun.

Smooth Stone expresses our deepest sympathy to the nation of India on this tragic day in their history where muslim barbarians have once again chosen to kill in the name of their false god.

May the real G-d of Israel avenge the deaths of the innocents in India, Israel and the United States.  Amen.

And I want to hear from the Jew-hating pukes out there who blame Israel for terrorism.

If Israel is responsible for Muslim wrath, tell us, Muslim terrorist apologists, what Israel did to encourage Syria to swallow Lebanon, to encourage Saddam Hussein to unleash a bloodbath against Iran, to encourage Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, to encourage Kuwait to expel hundreds of thousands of “palestinians”, to encourage the Taliban to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha statues in Afghanistan, to encourage the slaughter of Black Christians in the Sudan, to encourage the bombings in Bali that killed 202 people, to encourage church bombings in Pakistan, to blow up 200 Indians on the railroad system and to blow up India today.

And you dare to accuse Israel, you filthy pukes?

Blame Islam.  Grow a set of balls and put the blame where it belongs.

Islam is nothing more than a project to demonize non-muslims. Your founder, your own historic records, and your present followers have done more than a good job on that one.

Islam is a collectivist faith. It is opposed to the expressed will of the people, and instead favors the will of Allah, as expressed in the Koran and glossed by the components — Hadith and Sira — of the Sunna. It is opposed to individual liberties. It is opposed to freedom of speech, it is opposed to freedom of speech about religion. It is opposed to full legal equality for women. It is opposed, wherever it comes to power the equal treatment of Muslims and non-Muslims. The tenets of Islam, as expressed in the Koran flatly contradict the legal and political institutions of this country, and many of its social arrangements as well.

Non-Muslims are not brought up to undo the legal, political and traditional institutions of the United States.

As for what everyone else these days think of Islam, based on their knowledge of history and often from personal experience, read John Quincy Adams, John Ledyard, William Eaton and Mordechai Noah. Read them all.

We have every damn right to deconstruct the propaganda that Islam is peaceful and that the Israeli “occupation” is the cause of all the strife in the world.

Sorry, muzbots, but 9/11 is still with us every day. As we witness muslims striking out in detestable behavior in more that 25 conflicts around 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, Sudan, Russia-Chechnya, Tajikistan, Thailand, Uganda and Uzbekistan, it is clear that extremist Islam is the norm and normal Islam is extremely rare.

Authorities have secured one hotel and continue to evacuate a second, but gunmen also have taken hostages elsewhere in the city, reports say |

I read about this a few days ago and forgot to post about it.  This news item should sorta make Corporate America think twice about outsourcing. Via Times Online:

Corporate India is in shock after a mob of workers bludgeoned to death the chief executive who sacked them from a factory in a suburb of Delhi.

Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47, the head of the Indian operations of Graziano Transmissioni, a manufacturer of car parts that has its headquarters in Italy, died of severe head wounds on Monday after being attacked by scores of laid-off employees, police said. The incident, in Greater Noida, followed a long-running dispute between the factory’s management and workers demanding better pay and permanent contracts.

It is understood that Mr Choudhary, who was married with one son, had called a meeting with more than a hundred former employees who had been dismissed after an earlier outbreak of violence at the plant. He wanted to discuss a possible reinstatement deal.

In a statement issued from Rivoli,Italy, Graziano said that some of Mr Choudhary’s attackers had no connection with the company.
