| Indian Hindu leader rejects claims |
| 2002-10-20 |
| India's right-wing Hindu leader, Bal Thackeray, who is being investigated over calls for Hindus to form suicide squads, has insisted his remarks were not aimed against Muslims, only against terrorists. The difference is subtle, but it's there... You just have to look closely sometimes. Police in the western Indian city of Bombay are investigating claims of inciting hatred against Mr Thackeray, who heads the far-right Hindu political party, the Shiv Sena. Shiv Sena is the Hindoos' answer to the Muslim fundos. Their philosophy is to be just as evil and uncivilized as their enemy... Speaking to journalists, Mr Thackeray said he did not regret his speech on Tuesday calling on Hindus to be ready to give their lives. He also wrote an article in his party's paper, saying Hindus had no option but to confront Islamic militants and, as he put it, make the supreme sacrifice. Sounds good to me. That eliminates both of them — kinda the "we only kill each other" school of religious intolerance... He said he would not seek bail if arrested. Not unless he's stuck in jug with a 6'3" mujaheddin named Mahmoud who thinks he has a nice butt... When asked whether retaliatory violence was his only answer to attacks by terrorists, Mr Thackeray said he could not think of any other solution. "Duh... Nope. Can't think o' nuttin'..." |
