Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms
Alien54 writes "Militants killed in an encounter in New Delhi on Saturday night planned to attack leading software companies in Bangalore in addition to the Indian Military Academy in Dehra Dun, Delhi police said on Sunday Indian police claim the men were members of Lashkar-e-Toiba - a Wahabi militant group fighting for an independent Kashmir. Apart from maps of call centers police also recovered 100 kilos of dynamite, 10.5 kilos of RDX explosive, 450 detonators, three AK-56 rifles and a satellite phone."
Any attack on our call centers is an attack on America. We should be clear on that.
The Soviets gave us much more reason to be terrified than the Wahabis probably ever can. But they never directly attacked our interests. Why? Because we threatened total destruction of their homeland. What is the homeland of the Wahabis? A hint: Mecca is its capitol. What could make the Wahabis stop? A suggestion: A credible threat to totally destroy Mecca if they ever step over the line again.
Look, Moscow is an incredibly beautiful place deeply rooted in world history too. But why were we so much readier to take ultimate action against those who believed in the utopia of Marx, but unwilling to offer to same level of threat against those who believe in the heaven of Mohammed?
Both Marx and Mohammed are equally flawed branches of the same tree our own culture grows from. Both have had worldwide followers who, despite sometimes good motivations, individually, collectively brought repression and backwardness to large parts of the world, while threatening more enlightened and realistic regions.
We're not angels, and the followers of these two flawed ideologues aren't devils: the Russians weren't, and neither are the Islamists, on the whole. But threatening the Russians with total destruction, and meaning it, was integral to surviving their threat and ultimately (or at least temporarily) dissolving their global reach and the depth of repression in their homeland. Let's make the same threat to the Islamists. And let's let them know that, just as we were prepared to defend our interests across the world from the Russians, so too will any significant strike in any part of the world against our interests be the end of Mecca.

Well considering the Jews are responsible for 9/11 and the Iraq war and insurgent bombings and Yasser Arafat's death and Laci Petterson's death, and Michael Jackson's child molestation and the Pope's fever and smog in Los Angeles and the 2005 tsunami and world hunger and U.N. sexual abuse in the Congo and genocide in Darfur and malaria and everything else evil in the world you are probably right. Blame the Jews!!!
