Seven explosions occurred in commuter trains and stations during evening rush hour, killing at least 163 people Who's Behind the India Bombings? Suspicion falls on Islamic terrorists — but not al-Qaeda — in the country's worst terrorist attack in more than a decade By ALEX PERRY/NEW DELHI

  When I lived in Berkeley, I learned that people really can be so brainwashed with Politically Correct etiquette, that they no longer see what is in front of their slogans.

  I wonder how many Americans actually worried about the civil war in India in the 1990's -- a war that was only occasionally in U.S. news (because the O.J. Simpson trial was just so much more important. . . .).

  For those who are poor at non-politically correct math, let me spell it out in plain arithmetic:

  1. Muslim minority in Philippines feels that by killing Catholic civilians, they can reclaim southern Philippines.
  2. Muslim minority in Thailand feels that by killing Buddhist civilians, they can reclaim southern Thailand.
  3. Muslim minority in Middle East feels that by killing Israeli civilians, they can reclaim Israel.
  4. Muslim minority in India feels that by killing Hindu civilians, they can reclaim Kashmir.

  Now, tell me truthfully, does it really take an International Law degree from Harvard to put two and two together?

  I really love how journalists (such as Time Magazine, above) justify the Muslim terrorist attacks in Bombay by saying that Muslims are in the "minority."  In the same way, they justify Muslim terrorist attacks in Thailand and Philippines.

  And yet they use the reverse argument to talk about Muslim attacks on Christian minorities in mostly-Muslim Indonesia.  I laud your double standards, y'all.  Keep up the good work.
