Our hearts mourn with you India
They say when Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, they were worlds apart, crying, and they say Adam cried for years and years, until he could rejoin Eve. Eve understood she could see Adam again, she opened the braids of her long long hair and braided her hair again and moved, they say the place she combed her hair was India, and that’s why India smells of heavenly spices, that’s why is the land of love, mystic beauty and calm.
The story could be just a story, but the fact is India is unique, a place where a billion people live side by side and the technology doesn’t scare the respected animals away. It’s the place where the affiliates of different religions pay respect to the graves of saints of other religions. Religion could be a cause of problem, but not like any other place in the world, you can see the followers of different religions that might seem to be contradicting, live peacefully in the same areas. It’s the place visitors from the world step into, to get blessed with the peace it emanates.
Some might talk about the unrest in few provinces, but when you talk to the people of the same regions, you understand it is more for some to gain a political validity when they want to step into politics, it is some thing created and short lived, and it is not real. In Middle East, when we are loaded with the tension of our region, we go Eastward, we meditate by the Indian ocean, by the blissful Ganges, we step into the country that embraces us all even if we fight one another back in the Middle East. In India, unlike any other place in the world you can see a brother in your foe, because the enchanting land provides you with additional dimensions and you enter the worlds where the cause of all these superficial problems seem to be so remote, so unreal, and so unnecessary.
Our hearts mourn with India; we owe the land with as many Hindi movies we have watched, with as many moves from its exotic dances we have learnt as a child, India! Be away from chaos, you are worth millions of worlds. May G-d obliterate the enemies of people, the enemies of peace, the enemies of life and humanity. May G-d comfort the families of the precious people who lost their lives in the attacks, May G-d help the ones who are now in the evil hands of the terrorists, oh they may create the unrest, but they can never change the heavenly image of India. Jai Hindustan.

Among the innocent people being killed, all the Indians and all the foreigners, there were the bodies of a Young Rabbi of Chabad and his wife, their toddler being saved from the scene by a person working in the buidling. The Noahides of ME mourn for the innocent people killed, and the young and humble rabbi and his wife, May G-d reflect his justice, may he sooth the pain of the relartives and friends of those who lost their lives to the animal instict of the terrorists. We light candles in the memory of the lost souls.
Indians don’t believe in the Adam and Eve story and will go to hell according to the feudalist patriarchal monotheist religions (islam, judaism and christianity). You can write all the bullshit you want about tolerance, but your belief system is against non-monotheists and promise torture, hell and doom for them!
Hi Wladimir,
I understand your point, that is talking about the very abolute versions of religions and beliefs practiced in our region but the fundamentals. Where you might reconsider what you say is that not all the region is composed of the fundamentalists and those fundamentalists in particular who believe and practice even killing of the oens who do not believe like them.
Now in the modern days the religions have come close to one another, they have tried to realise the essence of the other and you will be surpised if I say that in all these three monotheistic religons there are some fresh visions of unity, even some strong versions of those visions might consider Hinduism as a religion of one Supreme superpower that manages the world and creation. IN fact we people of the planet are the reflections of one another in the mirror of life. Then my story of Adam and Even was a Middle Eastern story, India a place known for the diversity of religons and beliefs and it is so graceful ebracing all, accepting them as they are, and that is a unique quality that I wish for our Middle East to adopt. So the ones who create chaos, who terrotise and kill, they are not supported by the masses, they are supported by evil and their acts of terror is for gaining more power, more control out of creating chaos in the region. Hell belongs to the ones who are preoccupied by it, some people already have that in their head, right?
Islam makes it clear: Non-believers will go to hell. Or you are believing in an other religion? We can talk about dialogue, tolerance and interfaith stuff 24 hours a day, but you are clearly a hypocrite.
Wliadimir,
It is very sad that here every one is much identified with his/her religion or belief, as if the religons have tagged us, and any other person who comes close would look at the tag, instead of looking at you. Looking at the tag is enough for categorizing the person and judging and executing, that is the madness of our region. In case you are tagged with the name you have chosen, you would already call any one belieivng in any religon or belief a hypocrite, perhaps for not being an atheist? Now it is good to leave people alone with their religons and systems of belifs and how they view one another. I am sick and tired of being identified by a single system of belief, you pick what is sensible, you piuck what appeals to reason, to justice, to life, to humanity, you push back what does not belong, now each system of belif has its own definitons of good and evil, but there is one thing in common, good is praised and evil chased. Now you think muslims call non-believers hellish? Show me a single unbeliever, there is no one who doesn’t believe, they believe at least in somthing, don’t they?
Now if you want to tag me, tag me a Noahide, who follows the 7 laws of noah http://www.asknoah.com
Wladimir your sad cynicism is ironically the only kind that actually fuels and justifies this kind of terrorism. So you can sit here and call these kinds of posts “bullshit” in such a boring and immature fashion while contributing nothing of worth while people who spread message of tolerance and moderation are often putting their own lives at risk in order to make a difference.
You don’t believe in interfaith or our beliefs, fine, no one put a gun to your head and requests that you do – we really couldn’t care less what you believe. But it’s not advisable for you to come here and claim that interfaith and tolerance is “nonsense,” with this kind of bitterness and cynicism that would probably continue to make you look as if you’re the laughing stock of humanity. Because that’s what we consider people when they first claim that Muslims don’t believe in human rights, and then incessantly complain if they actually fight for the rights of others. Hypocracy? You champion this in your comments.
We are proudly Muslims fighting for justice and human rights regardless of what you think of our wonderful religion, so you can whine all day about evilness, torture and Hell, the only emotion you’re actually inpiring is that of pity. Nothing else. No sympathy, no intellectual challenge, nothing. Just pity.
Elinor I hope that you are in no way discouraged by the Islamophobic trash often spewed here. Continue what you do.
YUSUFALI: Say to those who reject Faith: “Soon will ye be vanquished and gathered together to Hell,-an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!
PICKTHAL: Say (O Muhammad) unto those who disbelieve: Ye shall be overcome and gathered unto Hell, an evil resting-place.
SHAKIR: Say to those who disbelieve: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place.

2) Hell will also punish the sin of those who reject Christ (Matthew 13:41,50; Revelation 20:11-15;
http://www.bible.org/page.php?page_id=400
And there is no difference between Islam, Judaism and Christianity. You cannot call me Islamophobic! I just show you the facts! Be a proud christian, muslim or jew. I’m never proud on humans. Pride is also forbidden in monotheist religions.
Is anyone here denying the concept of Hell in Islam? This is common in any existing religion, even the non-monotheistic ones. That certainly doesn’t mean that every religious person in the world is hell-bent on destroying civilization, few violent actions are never representative of an entire religion and its followers. Often you will see Muslims denouncing terrorism and civil rights abuses, or Christians fighting for Muslim rights, or Jews fighting for Christian rights and vice versa. Ironically, I don’t see many atheists and people who hate these religions fighting for any of these rights – they only request that our religions, opinions and beliefs get purged, which I think is completely bigoted.
Phobia: “Extreme fear or dislike of a specific group.”
You sure don’t seem to be fond of Muslims or their religion, and you don’t at all seem to be respectful of those who do fight for human rights and interfaith by referring to such acts as “bullshit,” so I would qualify your comments as being a result of phobia against monotheistic religions, if not Islam itself.
After reading the comments here, it is obvious that nobody’s heart is mourning for India.
Also, Esra,
Where did you find that definition for “Phobia”? The accepted definition of phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear. Given the preferred tactics of followers of Islam to conduct sneak attacks on crowded civilian areas like restaurants, train station, hospitals, and schools, I say the fear is completely rational. Therefore, it is not a phobia. Oh, please answer the question, “Where did you find that defintion for phobia ?”
Derek, ever heard of a thing called dictionary? Phobia has 2 different meanings and Esra’a got one right and you got the other right.
Whiteman and Christians raped, pillaged, and killed my people, shall I say the same thing about them now? Christians are doing the same thing all over Africa. In fact millions are dead because of it. Of course terror attacks by Muslims are nothing compared to whats being done by Christians and you don’t see the Western world even saying a single thing about that in their media. I mean give me a break… ohh btw this is a trap, lets see how well you fall into it.
Certainly not yours Derek. I find it revolting that someone takes a thread like this and turns it into a Muslim-bashing one, we do not accept this form of bigotry specifically not in a thread where the brutal attacks in India were condemned (by a Muslim nonetheless.)
And I stand by the definition of phobia, in fact I have quoted a dictionary. Since you don’t seem to be very familiar with the word allow me to demonstrate the two ways in which it is used (I picked the latter, in case you are further confused):
pho·bi·a
n.
1. A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
2. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.
FYI there were tons of innocent Muslims, even Arabs, who were murdered and trapped in this pathetic attack. I bet your heart will not mourn for them.
Explain me this Esra’a: Why ‘believers’ mourn for the Indians, if they end up in hell getting tortured anyway. I didn’t talk about the attacks. These weren’t actually religious attacks, but attacks because of Kashmir/Pakistani nationalism.
Islam, christianity, judaism have an aversion towards non-religious people or other religions. They have a phobia towards other religions that don’t follow their views.
Jina comes again with a sort of muslim victimhood: ohh we poor muslims blala. Muslims aren’t any different from christians, atheists, nationalists, zionists, etc. They are all humans and humans have a lust for power, war, murder and economical resources to survive.
There is no belief in Judaism that non Jews will go to hell for their “disbelief.” Only Christians and Muslims have made these claims.
the cheif police officer was among the ones who were killed. Almost no where but in Inida a chief would die, he got as much involved as he could. G-d bless his honorable soul, I was watching his funeral on tv.
Esra’a my dear, I don’t get discouraged, it was very good to have an opportunity to share my feelings here, and it is indeed healthy to find some people not making sense of Middle Easterns mourning for India. very good issues emerge out of these remarks and good opportunities arise from how we answer. This is what I like in Mideastyouth froum.
No one knows why this attack took place. Attackers called themselves the Deccan Mujahadeen, as in those from South India and has nothing to do with anything that goes on in Kashmire or what not.
Rofl almost laughed myself to death there. I am a HINDU from roots in SOUTH INDIA (you know… the place where this attack took place), I am not a Muslim or an Arab. This just shows that you are simply repeating some crap because of your preconceived notion of whatever you are taught to digest because your puny little brain can’t comprehend anything beyond that.
Teddo, in Sanskrit, Naraka is tranlated in English as Hell. India is at war with Pakistan, though Indians claim vegetarianism, they make slits in the throats of cattle and drink the fresh blood. 1/3 of India goes to bed hungry, cattle dung lines the streets-this, I do not call heaven.I, personally, do NOT like the smell of Curry-every culture on Earth has what would be described as Heaven and Hell.
Huh… 250 million Muslims living in India are Indians also. So ya what you say is true and NOT all “Hindus” are vegetarians. Westerns grouped hundreds of religions into a single religion called it Hinduism so ya… there are a lot of variety in “Hinduism” and lots of them don’t’ preach vegetarianism.
Naraga is the underworld and is ruled by Yama. And its not exactly Hell, its more like the underworld in the old Greek religion. And stay here is not a permanent stay like the Western religion’s hell. There are also multiple Naraga to match the punishments for the bad Karma. Just like a prison, if you serve your time, you can go back to the human world. And well there are more things to say and I don’t’ feel like writing an essay or a book.
Also Swarga is heaven and is ruled by Indra. There is also another place like heaven and bla blabla bla bla and bla…
Concept of these 2 worlds came about as a result of mixing of indigenous regions and philosophies with the religion of the Vedas.
Vladimir,
Religions had been instituted to satisfy the need of man for reaching out to the metaphysics, to having a life more inspiring than our very regular every day lives, to have an interaction, in the ways religions set forward, with the unknown originator of this vast life. Long after the creation of religions and the way people became categorized according to following one of them, science, reason, and technology brought other insights into the world of man, these views are some times linear, sometimes contradicting, but they have all as a whole created a fascinating diversity, which is inevitable, because man have a complex nature.
Here I don’t argue who is right here who is not, but I do look forward to the arrival of the time that the followers of different schools of thought would live in a meaningful just world all functioning together as a whole, and each involved in ins own world, like human body and its organs, you see blood vessels and veins each in their very own path, the organs are very different and they each serve a porpoise, but the order and the just arrangement created a very special, a very unique creature called Man ( or Woman?). The ideal state of affairs would be the people of world living in such a harmony, with all the differenced their ethnicity, languages, locations, thoughts, incomes, ambitions and etc. provide.
Now what we all have in common, before being the followers of x, y, and z schools of thought, is being Human beings, right? Maybe you will agree. So it is very wise to invest in this common ground and nurture our human and humane nature, before we fall victim to the scary world that the clash of differences would feature. Then if we invest enough, and if we pay well attention and seriously follow this track, we may not be short of power when it comes to condoling those clashes, when it comes to confronting those who benefit from i9nvesting on the clashed that emerge from the differences between the human being’s conceptual framing of the truth.
Now let’s move down to hell. I don’t find a hell burning more than what we are living in, therefore I may well conclude the hell and heaven all starts from our bird time, and we decide to be hellish, or of heaven’s nature.
Yes there are almost different views of how G-d will punish and if he will punish and whom he will, but then there is a very apparent truth that he is already punishing all of us for Stupidity before any thing else.
As I had been informed Christianity does stress on hell, but then it talks of Jesus who will redeem, so there is no need for Christians to burn in the world to come, When it comes to Judaism, hell is not for non believers, hell is for believers, it is to help them get purified and move up, to the heaven, if some one is evil, a very extreme evil, Judaism says his punishment is being deleted from the database of life, they are done with when they die, they will never come back, their progress in the cycle of life is blocked and they are simply out of the court.
For Muslims hell is very serious, but then like all the other religions we mentioned above, there is redemption and forgiveness, as long as one is not oppressing another soul, because then the same person has to give back, to pay off for what he or she has committed regarding the other.
In Hinduism, the person who has done wrong things comes back to this world in a more inferior state than the previous life, and then if he or she has done will in this new state, the life after would be of more elevated nature.
See, all of them in a way deal with people in their good and bad actions and each introduce the hell and heaven, the good or bad reflection of the people’s deeds in their own ways.
Now what do you find very contradictory? The issue of the unbelievers? I guess there is hardly a person in the world who wouldn’t believe in a sort of presence other than what we see or hear, some thing grater than us. Yes within different eras, we might have read about the followers of a certain religion calling the others non-believers and fighting them, the fights had mostly been of statesmanship confrontations, one was expanding and the others with fewer followers or less of motivation, or less power would need to sit back and let the other group take the reins, then it is not easy to take the back seat when you were ruling in the fist place and then the unbelievers should go black and blue, because they would need to adjust in the new system. Vladimir, we all understand these concepts of whatever happens around us, we have a minimal experience of the clash of powers and roles when we are children and among our siblings, then we move further to schools and classmates and students of upper classes, then we move out and into more adult society, into offi8ces, into marriages, as husbands as wives, then as brides who will need to live in tune with the in-laws. So a mother-in-law according to a home -maker like myself could be an extreme unbeliever, an infidel!
Here I want to ask you were exactly on this little planet do you live, I mean, in which continent, because it is very interesting to come to a Middle Eastern forum and tell an Iranian suppose, that he or she is an unbeliever, for feeling for the Indians. I don’t understand how you come to this conclusion.
If you go to the UN building and look at the entrance, there is a Persian verse written :
The Children of Adam [human beings, as you wish] are the parts of the same body,
Because in the creation they had been created from the same precious gem,
If the world harms one of these parts of the body,
The rest of the body parts become restless, as a result.
Hi clyde,
Indians are more than what you say, they are a nation with tender hearts, they are content with what they have and they are happy even the ones who are poor, you can not find qualities as such in many other places of the world. For a Middle Eastern, the same streets and cows and poverty, India could well be a piece of heaven, the peace it offers is some thing we miss in the Middle East. You can find saitns like Hazrat babjan, a woman of Baluchi orign who lived on the streets of Pune, a place that the followers of many religions visit.
To everyone-point-Name whatever you wish-ALL religions have a terrible place(Hell in English) and a peaceful place(Heaven in English-what you call good or bad are relative terms. I am reminded of an episode on the original Star Trek series. There is role reversal herein this analogy.The Enterprise crew(God) comes upon this planet ruled/regulated by this being called Baal(the devil). This being is worshipped and fed by human looking beings.In return, Baal provides the perfect place(Eden)-ideal weather, food, shelter, and replacements(no sex needed). Baal feels the Enterprise is here to destroy the setup.Baal attempts to destroy the Enterprise with lightening type bolts. The Enterprise throws up their shields and fire phasers.Baal is destroyed. The inhabitants must now put up with inclement weather, find shelter, provide food, and most of all fall in love and create replacements(sex).The point is-GOOD AND EVIL ARE CREATIONS OF OUR MINDS-a relative term.Whatever religion you prefer, you have these opposites created by YOUR minds.
Everyone do not get me wrong-I believe in God, but not as most others.I believe God is an intelligent energy form. The more scince i know, the more I see the Laws of God, Sience and Nature are one and the same. Einstein’s Unified Field Theory states energy travels in particles on waves-religion states we are all points in God and become one with God when we die.The Big Bang Theory is being replaced by the Rubber Band Theory-the Universe expands and contracts-kind of like a big heart(God).Einstein’s e=mc2 basically says the same thing-energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, only change form.THE KEY TO THE UNIVERSE< OR< ANY SYSTEM< IS BALANCE< NO MATTER WHAT FIELD IS DISCUSSED-good-bad, God-Devil, negative-positive, Hell-Heaven, Ying-Yang, male-female-I call it Clyde’s Law-Universal balance.
So Clye, in your clyde’s Law, there is no necessity for the followers of religions to deny one another to maintain this balance? I don’t think if the followers of any religion or any schools of belief and non-belief would not dispice the terror attacks in Mumbai,unless they are way out of balance!
Elinor(Iran),I to, despise the attacks-the following, at first, may sound silly-but in the nature of things, this may be a form of population control-again, balance-whether it is good or bad-is your interpetation.I am quite sure the opposing side thinks differently.There is an old legal axiom-there is their side, your side, and there is the truth.No offence is intended, but with all your praise of peaceful India, one must question, why are you still in Iran?
You ask as if though people actually get to choose where they want to live. It maybe true for maybe less than 1% of humanity, but not so for the rest. And this by far is the most ignorant question or statement you made so far out of everything else you wrote. From your comment it seem like you are really oblivious about the world you live in. You may want to get out of the little bubble that you are living in.
And I missed something before
False Again, that bubble of yours, get of it.
Jina, how old are you?There aremany ways for a person to get to another country if they want to-look at the boat people of Asia or the Mexicans of Mexico.You may not want to get out that way, but it is an option. Women, especially, can easily get enough money plying their charms-no,I am not saying they should, but where there is a will, there is a way. The war between India and Pakistan is going on in Kashmir as we speak. Peace attempts have failed-Practice what you preach and break out of your bubble.
How old are you?
Huh?
So Elinor should be a hooker to get out of Iran? Not only is this insulting but stupid, did she even say she wants out? I mean what the fuck are you talking about?
In your head I am sure.
You must be retarded. I mean in the scientific term, not…
Huh… you didn’t even get what I was talking about.
Ok lets go back up a bit, can you tell me what ethnic groups and/or relgious groups does this within India? There are thousands of them, so pick the right one. Also can you tell since when Muslims and Christians became a vegi religion? I mean they do make over 25% of the INDIANS. Its the Brahmin’s who don’t eat meat within the “Hindu” society.
You simply don’t know shit about anything you are writing about. Keep writing more and prove how little you know about every topic you think you know about.Just shut up and go read a book maybe 100 books and come back and continue this.
i’m a bombayite living in the middleast………

Clyde,
People have their own very different interpretations of the events. At the same time, why would world need violence for aske of population control?
I have lived in Inda for some time, you know, it has enough population to house and create jobs for, believe me, if it wasn’t for being able to make enough money, youth of many countries would just go to India to live forever. India has its own very serious problems like any other place, but then, it has the stongest democracy in the region as well.
The problems youth have in Iran wouldn’t make them respect their country any less, at the same time, you can feel at home where you can share with people , where you can communicate and iteract, where you can respect and be respecte, and this world is a little place after all, and we are all noisey neighbors in a neighborhood.
Hi Jina, it is wonderful to see you around. One has to live in a society and have a more accurate picture from within, one conceptually be every where, no need to move these lazy bodies. You know what my husband says about justly ruling a country? when it comes to questions as critical as states that seek independence, he says, perhaps a country should go for a national referandum, and if most of the people of the country said no to disintegration, the country should be very firm in dealing with the situation, and if the ones in a certain region are being very stubborn, they could be trafered to another part of the country, wuth all their households, like the government creating lodgings and a new world for them, it might prevent more of bloodshed. I guess that could be almost impossible for countries of greater populations and I don’t know if it is really the best idea, but I hear people making comments. The most successful way of dealing with a problem is the less violent way of doing it.
Janice,
I hope you see your city restorted with its beauty and safety, and people be comforted with the loss, I hope your family is safe and sound. The terrorist with their acts make their desires what people of the world do not want, we do not want any country destroed, not in the Middle East, not around the world, May G-d bless all the nations, Janice, here as Middle Easterns we do not shy away from wishing blessings for Israel and Palestine and the rest of the region, and I hope we would not let these issues become the source of voilence, may G-d help all the nations in Middle East and out of Middle East with solving their problems without violence, that has to be settled acrosss the states, but as people, some times this is either as much as we can do, or, it is just the beginning..
All countries have problems.We must all unite as the human race and bring about world peace-borrowing from President elect Obama-”YES,WE CAN.”
True, so very true.
we do not want terroR attacks in our country but they are not forcing us to wage war against pakistan.
It’s enuf we have taken and have been taking all this while.
I guess you would definately find the answers to all your Questions on NDTV channel which proves pakistan to have been strongly involved.
yeah! my relatives are Safe and Sound.
GOD bless the People of ISRAEL.
I’m sorry, but your repetativeness of this is quite revolting. God bless everyone, the people in Israel are no different or better than Arabs or Indians or Pakistanis or anyone else who innocently died in this horrific attack. You singling out and saying “God only bless this specific nation” is both sad and disturbing.
Clyde, Amen to your words any your prayers. It is wonderful to have some one who would like to feel and sense the world and then decide on what makes sense, if and when president-elect Obama decides that way, G-d help him and his team with his goals. He will not be alone, as there are many other people in the world from each corner, each community, each race and religion, who would say Aye to change. The G-d helps the ones who join hands, all the time, all the time.
Janice,
I am happy that your family are safe. Janice I don’t know about the role of Pakistan, I am not much into ther poilitical side of the events, I guess I cannot understand politics much, but what I think of India is that India is the mother of all these countries around her, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the other parts which are each a separate and indepentent country at the monet, they are all children of India, what I hope is that kids honor their mother, we don’t need to have exactly the same set of beliefs to live side by side in peace, as long as we have the same set of very basic moral values we can make that end happen. This we might sound very confusing, but this We I define as an open ended society of a group of people who have decided to live in peace, a group who would cheerfully welcome any other hand for shaking.
Now let me tell you about the message of a very repectful, very Charismatic leader of jewish world, Rabbi Menachem Shneerson Lubavitch of chabad, the same chabad that lost its precious youth pious members in the Mumbai attack.
The late rabbi Shneerson, had a very beautiful message for the people of the world. He said in this world if we all follow the 7 laws that Noah the prophet set forward, we will all have a heavenly life after. Among those seven laws are Whorshiping G-d ( our own way), not saying his holy name in vein, not murdering, not stealing, no adultry, no cruelty towrd animals, and settling down the matters of difference in a court of law.
He said in this world which is filled with many things that is evil, to overcome the evil would not be possible through confronting, the best way that we can all fight the evil is to fill the world with good deeds, fill the world with too many good deeds and acts of charity, random, just good, so that the evil is gradually substituted by good. This was his message of peace to the followers of all different religons of the world before he passed away.
What chabad wants from good supporters of the Nation of Israel, like you Janice, is that :
Please do some good things, some acts of charity, some good to your neighbor( who could be some one you don;t like at all, right?) in the name of the fallen supporters of good. Janice, for uphold good, we need to spread all the well wishes to all nations. They ones who would pray only for one group do not make as significant change needed as the ones who would embrace all. You are a Chritian? You have a wonderful Mother Thereza to look upon to for inspiration, and the late Pope Jean Paul II, who was a revolutionanry in bringing about the soul of fraternity among the religoons and the followers of different religions.
In the new approach to creating peace, every one needs a seat in the celebrating the gilft of life given to us by G-d. Amen
Esra’a,
eaten? gross!
The terrorists killed followers of many religons, they had mercy on no one, they target all the ones who intent to live together in peace. In India, you see an Arab and an Israeli and an Iranian together with Turks and Americans and Russiansa dn Austrialians all enjoying the bliss of India without viewing one another as intruders, India symbolizes many things that we wish if they were possible, it is so disturibng that they sctatch the symbol, but they cannot scratch the soul. The idea of people, countries and religions finding a safe place in the other one’s boundries, is a rebirth of an old but beautiful wish, and an answer to the prayer of many people from all different corners of this little world. The prayers will one day come true. meanwhile, the ones who feel like pooling their positive energies find onenther on the web of life. The eveil will gradually get caught on the web
To everyone-we are at a turning point, whether through prophecy(many,and many cultures.religion, and science-we MUST grab for WORLD PEACE now.As Albert Einstein once said if he belieeved we would have WWIII-”If we do, WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones-POSSIBLE future-the year 2012-Each nation’s hatred of one another grew to unimaginable fury-The new weapons(never before known0 were launched upon each other-the devestation was great-electrical,waste, and water systems were knocked out every where.Domesticated animals became wild-carnivores-dogs and cats hungered for human flesh-humans hungered for jhhuman flesh-food and water became scarre-day was not much better than night-people used on side for waste elimination and the other side to sleep in.Sisease ran rampant-medicines and medical supplies were exhausted. Devastating unheard of natural disasters arouse of unimaginable fury.Insects bred and devoured flesh and plant life by the pounds.Dust and harsh winds filled the air, temperatures were to the extremes.WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL THIS? Humankind’s inhumanity to humankind.We, the peoples of earth must put aside our few differences and look towards PEACE-the alternative is either immediate death or a long,lingering death. Should we have WWIII, NO ONE WINS.WAIT, it has not happened yet-we can change-will we?My favorite borrowed phrase from President elect Obama-”YES,WE CAN.”The Antichrist is NOT some being-IT IS THE DARKER SIDE OF HUMANKIND-OUR HOPE IS THE DIVINE SIDE WITHIN ALL OF US. PUT ASIDE OUR DIFFERNCES AND JOIN ME IN WORKING ON WORLD PEACE-”YES, WE CAN”.

There is no Use of WAr it will just kill people after people.
Our country must provide us with security… which we lack!
Janice, we have our faith and we have friedns in one another, it is good to know there are people out there in the world who care for one another, who are trying to find a way, even a very trivial way that they might learn, as to protect there beloved ones, and friends are beloved ones as well, we will protect one another in the face of evil with the help of G-d
Amen
Agreed-war is useless-never the less-that seems to be the direction humankind is moving towards.We must UNITE and bring about WORLD PEACE within the next 3-4 years if we are to avoid WWIII-the alternative is massive death and destruction of the planet.ALL nations, not just India, must face this-we must quite dwelling on petty differences,ethnic hatreds, and the past-WE MUST MOVE FORWARD.
Peace !
