Muslim terrorists in Mumbai tell media: 'stop hating us'

THE terror group that ruthlessly struck at Mumbai's heart has demanded an end to persecution of Muslims and the release of militants from prison.

I didn't think anyone had that much gall in the world. They bombed the hotel, shot up bus stops and restaurants, killed in excess of 150 innocent people, and they're unhappy that people 'hate' them.

The previously unknown group that claimed responsibility for the attacks across Mumbai has added to the growing belief that India is confronting a home-grown Islamic militancy.

The vast majority of previous attacks on Indian soil have been squarely blamed on groups based in or directly supported by neighbouring Pakistan. But attacks over the last year have been claimed by groups with names stressing their local origins.

Deccan Mujahedeen, which said it was responsible for the Mumbai assault on Wednesday night, takes its title from the Deccan plateau that covers much of south India.

Just a head fake. Apparently they take their orders from the ISI just like all the other terrorist groups with new names that no one's ever heard of before they commit some atrocity.

The outfit sent emails to local media saying it carried out the attacks.

One of the gunmen holed up in the Trident hotel told the India TV channel by phone on Thursday that the little-known terror outfit wanted an end to the persecution of Indian Muslims and the release of all fellow Islamic militants detained in India. "Muslims in India should not be persecuted. We love this as our country but when our mothers and sisters were being killed, where was everybody?" he said from inside the hotel, which was surrounded by army commandos.

Remind me who's killing the Muslims of India? Right, no one in the last few years. In fact the last several governments have bent over backwards to treat Muslims well, to the point of preferential hiring programs for government jobs. This is their reward.

A similarly shadowy group calling itself the Indian Mujahedeen claimed responsibility for serial blasts in Delhi in September, which killed 20 people, and bombings in the western city of Ahmedabad in July when 45 died.

Another group, the Islamic Security Force-Indian Mujahedeen, said it was behind explosions last month in India's north-east state of Assam that killed 80.

It is unclear whether the various groups are connected, but retired senior security official B Raman has said their chosen names were a "bid to Indianise" the Islamic militant movement.

The Indian Mujahedeen, which also calls itself "the militia of Islam", first came to public attention last November following serial blasts in Uttar Pradesh. The same group sent another email to the media after blasts in May in the city of Jaipur in which it said it would wage an "open war" against India for supporting the United States, and warned of more attacks against tourist sites.

Security services suspect the groups may be fronts for outfits that have been banned by the Indian government over the past few years such as the Students' Islamic Movement of India.

Gee, you think? Again, trace the money, the comm links and the command, and it all goes back to Rawalpindi ...

Others say they could be an undercover coalition of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed militant organisations.

Just minutes before the blasts in Ahmedabad, the main commercial city of Gujarat state, the Indian Mujahedeen sent emails to several television news stations warning that people would "feel the terror of death". It said the Ahmedabad blasts were revenge for riots which swept Gujarat in 2002 in which at least 2,000 people, mainly Muslims, were hacked, shot and burnt to death.

It has warned India's largest-circulation daily, The Times of India, and other media groups to halt their "propaganda war" against Muslims.

And it has told Mukesh Ambani, India's richest businessman, to "think twice" about his construction of a glass-and-steel 27-storey home on land in Mumbai where a Muslim orphanage once stood.

#3 He should build a thirty one story home there.

Extra four stories should be
1/ Pork Butchers.
2/ C4sin0
3/ Stock Market and Bank.
4/ L4p Dance area.

I think the above would be a good template for re-using superfluous mosques.

#4 Now they're dead they don't need to worry about being hated any more. It would be a win/win if only they hadn't engaged in so much hateful activity in their short, squalid, and malighant lives.

#5 As my daughter remarked, when I relayed to her some of the ghastly details about this which hadn't hit the broadcast TV channels last night -
"Eighty percent of all Muslims give a bad reputation to the rest of them..."

#6 The Indian government could exploit this in an interesting way by saying it "casts shame on all Indian Muslims", which would, of course, provoke shrieks of outrage and upset.

But then, for very practical reasons, they should very publicly bury the terrorists in a non-Muslim cemetery along with lots of rotting, dead pigs. Then broadcast video of the "Muslim funeral" around the world.

#7 I'm just having a lot of trouble developing any sympathy for these whining a$$holes. I don't care how you cut it, they sound like the murdering thugs of AQ whatever the hell they call themselves. George Bush has the right idea, root them out wherever they are and kill them. They are not fit to live in this world.

#9 What they should do is bury them the same way they bury their homeless, which is to say, no fanfare at all and then make damn sure the world knows that retaliation for this will not happen in a court of law.

#12 ...bury the terrorists in a non-Muslim cemetery along with lots of rotting, dead pigs.

You don't find that many pigs in India, and the ones you do are someones livestock, and therefore valuable.

However, if Mumbai is anything like New Delhi and some of the other places I've been to in India, there are legions of stray dogs. I say leave the pigs alone, and use three stray dogs per grave.

#13 hey... don't punish stray dogs like that...
