Taj Mahal closed due to Lutheran mini-riot
2007-08-29
I imagine the mini-riot will blossom into a full-scale howling mob action by...noon Friday. Islamic Rage Boy is oiling his beard even now
Police closed the Taj Mahal and placed parts of Agra city under curfew on Wednesday after Indian Muslims burned trucks and battled police to protest the deaths of four community members hit by a lorry. The accident occurred around dawn in Agra when the men were returning after marking "Shab-e-Barat," or the "night of forgiveness or atonement," when Muslims pray for the dead. Angry crowds set fire to 11 trucks, including the one involved in the accident, said state police officer Brij Lal.

"With curfew imposed in six police circles of Agra, the area in and around Taj Mahal is also completely shut to public as a precautionary measure," Lal said. Television footage showed smoke billowing over one neighborhood, young Muslims clashing with police and a line of trucks burning fiercely. "They are hurling bricks at police sent to stop the violence in one area but the situation is coming under control as our people are on the job," Lal added. Schools and colleges were ordered shut in the crowded city as police tried to quell the violence, officials said.

#5  "night of forgiveness or atonement,"

Celebrated by riots and mayhem? I guess fasting, self-assessment and contemplation, and asking forgiveness is right out. Makes sense - in an Islamic sort of way.

#4  "Lorry" = delivery truck

Accident = an event where unintentional damage is caused

Muslim = a belligerent human, prone to violence wherever it can vent Koran prescribed hate against a disbeliever

dhimmi = a non Muslim who, where charged with law enforcement or law making, does nothing to either prohibit or punish inherent Muslim aggression

#3  Whenever these malicious cretins set fires, flaming airborne cinders need to land on the roof of a nearby mosque.

#2  Even accidental deaths are to be (violently) protested, because muslims are VICTIMS, so it's their Legitimate Right™ to use Resistance™. India should note pakistan's, bangladesh's and its own muslim population are steadily growing, while the hinjooooooos have managed to control their demographic growth. while this pose problems to the muslims themselves, this may pose more to India, eventually.
