#1 There is speculation that this is a message to Indian PM Manmohan Singh from various Muslim groups warning him to back off from the India-US nuclear deal and closer ties with the US.

#2 Like Israel, India displays an almost saintly degree of forebearance in the restraint they show towards their Muslim population. And just like Israel, when that patience finally comes to an end, being a Muslim will not amount to very much fun. Both countries were completely entitiled to purge their Muslim populations long, long ago.

That's since 2004. How many since 9-11-2001?

More than anything, how many since the partition? We in the West should blush with a deep sense of total inadequacy and shame over our collective lack of response to the Delhi Parliament atrocity. The Delhi atrocity should have cemented the West's concorde with India in eradicating all further Muslim threats to those of us who wanted to survive.

#9 Zenster, India chose to align itself with the Soviet bloc for many years. My theory is that they did it primarily to thumb their noses at the British. Only lately are they beginning to realize that America and the West are, or should be, their best friends.

You are absolutely right, Rambler. For that, India needs some grinding lessons as to exactly whom is at the top of the food chain. Still, as Asia's largest and most successful democracy, we'd damn well better make sure to encourage such an example.
