Islamist Terrorist Group Holds Jewish Centre Hostage.

http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2797591/Nariman-House-stormed-5-hostages-die-in-raid.html http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601091&sid=amsJajmnHOAk&refer=india http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a1Ee4_jrWVxM&refer=home A few days ago an islamist group attacked buildings in Mumbai. India was lately been the sight of violent attacks upon rival religious groups. Earlier I had blogged about Hindu attacks upon christians. Now it appears that, for whatever reason, certain muslims have chosen to target Hasidimic Jews. Ironicly both the hindutvatists and the islamists have much in common, in so much as they both seek a religiously dominated society. All religious groups should be able to enjoy both freedom of religion, and freedom from fear. I hope that the Indian government will decide to adequately deal with the problem of religious chauvinism. And as my sister, Amy, said to me, they will have alot to answer for on judgement day.
