Why
Are We Afraid to be Jewish? Everyone has heard of the confrontation at Beit
HaShalom in Hebron. Jews purchased a building from an Arab and moved in. Despite
the fact that this legal transaction took place and that Jewish families are
living in the building, because the Arab now claims that he did not sell the
building, a claim backed up with no evidence what so ever, the government has
decided to forcibly remove the Jewish families.(Gary Cooperberg) (http://projectshofar.org)
Still
Asleep After Mumbai. Victims caught in terrorist atrocities perpetrated for
Islam typically experience fear, torture, horror, and murder, with sirens
screaming, snipers positioning, and carnage in the streets. That was the case
recently in Bombay (now called Mumbai), where some 195 people were murdered and
300 injured. But for the real target of Islamist terror, the world at large, the
experience has become numbed, with apologetics and justification muting
repulsion and shock. (By Daniel Pipes) (www.danielpipes.org)

Now
a duplicitous game, after they let us all down. The ineptitude of the Manmohan
Singh government in the face of national outrage in the wake of Mumbai terror
carnage could not have been better illustrated than by the miasma of the ongoing
political and diplomatic shenanigans being enacted in Delhi. The first act of
replacing a failed Home Minister with a failed Finance Minister has exposed the
bankruptcy of the discredited dispensation. (http://www.organiser.org/)
Hindu
Rashtra, the conflict of civilisations and Le-Chatelier’s principle. The Hindu
civilisation today stands at a crossroads. While it has been continuously and
severely buffeted over the past three centuries by competitive civilisations
from across the globe, for the first time it is left without a single sovereign
government to speak for it in this world, even as it is being demographically
marginalised and intellectually immobilised while the government in its own
homeland of Bharat deliberately detaches itself from it. (By AK Bhattacharya)
