Since Asimov's 3 laws of robotics have already been mentioned, I'd like to point out that Asimov did not mean for them to become dogmatic in his books.
The 3 laws were supposed to be a "safety measure" against robots causing harm, and yet, there were sufficient logical loopholes in them (If a robot did not know what a human being was, he can cause one harm, so they changed the definition of 'human' in a robots programming or tricked robots into poisoning drinks etc.) so that robots could be used as weapons of murder (see "The Naked Sun" and "Robots and Empire"), so they didn't really help much. As his stories develop the 3 laws, his best robot characters (Daneel Olivaw & Giskard Reventlov) concluded that the three laws are "too safe" and have stultified human cultural growth,as personified in the fictitious "Spacer Races", in opposition to the robotless "Settler Races", who eventually inherit the galaxy as spacers die out. Thus, the robot dependent species was decadent and, carrying their logic of "doing no harm" to the bitter end, robots essentially abandoned man and ceased directly meddling in human affairs.
So a little danger in modern technologies must be accepted or there will be no real progress...
It has been pointed out (several times on slashdot threads themselves) that learning programming logic and concepts is more important that a specific language.
So if one grafts hippocampus tissue into a solid state memory chip, will it help Alzheimer's patients retain some information? Even if such a thing is possible, I wonder how far to go before practical implementation.
Some Muslim organizations in the United States have also condemned CAIR. Sheik Muhammad Hisham Kabbani of the Islamic Supreme Council of America (ISCA) denounced CAIR, saying: "There are many Muslim organizations that claim to speak on behalf of the Muslim community but that in reality are not moderate, but extremist."
Seif Ashmawy, an Egyptian Muslim and peace activist, who published the "Voice of Peace" newsletter about Muslim affairs, said: "It is a known fact that CAIR has defended, apologized for, and rationalized the actions of extremists groups... The real challenge for moderates like myself is to prevent my Muslim brethren from being deceived by extremist groups that pretend to represent their interests."
Steven Pomerantz, former FBI assistant director and chief of the FBI's counter-terrorism section, once charged that CAIR's activities "effectively give aid to international terrorist groups." Other American Muslim leaders have raised questions about their possible alliances with radical groups, and many academics are disturbed by the groups' prominence.
On February 2, 1995, CAIR advisory board member Imam Siraj Wahaj was accused by the United States Department of Justice as one of several "unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators in the attempt to blow up New York City monuments," including the World Trade Center in 1993. He was a character witness during convicted Islamic terrorist Omar Abdel-Rahman's World Trade Center bombing trial.

A number of other CAIR officials have been charged with, and some convicted of, offenses related to the support of Islamist terrorism.

In 2005, Elashi and two of his brothers were convicted on 21 counts of federal terrorism charges related to funding Hamas and the illegal export of electronics equipment to U.S. State Department-designated state sponsors of terrorism.
In January 2003, CAIR's director of community relations and founder of the Islamic Assembly of North America, Bassem Khafagi, was arrested by the FBI on charges of having ties to front groups that fund Islamist terrorism. Khafagi pleaded guilty to charges of visa and bank fraud, and agreed to be deported to Egypt.
In August 2003, CAIR's former civil-rights coordinator, Randall "Ismail" Royer, along with ten other men known as the "Virginia jihad group" were indicted on 41 counts, including training and participating in jihad activities overseas. The group had connections with Lashkar-e-Taiba and five of them possessed AK-47-style rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Four of th

Why should force and weapons not work? It works in Israel, where these so-called "Palestinians" cower and cry like little babies when IDF missiles teach them a lesson, or in Afghanistan, where towelheads get napalmed and gibber in fear before US soldiers.
It worked when your "Holy Jihadi Army" of Pakistan led by the cause of "Allah" against the Hindu "infidel" surrendered to the Indian Army in 2 weeks in '71 when we made your country pay for what you did in Bangladesh, and it worked in Gujrat. Muslims in Gujrat now know better than to attack Hindus.
Force is the only solution to deal with animals who have no respect for anything but hate. The only way to deal with terrorists and mass-murderers is to give them a taste of their own medicine. That is why muslims are losing everywhere.
Even as we speak, there are millions of muslims who do nothing but spread hate and lies. Even here in slashdot, whenever an article about India's prosperity comes up, most hate-speech modded down at -1 is from Pakistanis, as if your country is soooo advanced and developed. As if there are no pakis starving to death on the streets of Lahore and Islamabad while your government is too busy spending money on guns and suicide squads than on their own people...
What do "moderate" muslims like you do? Nothing. You claim you love all mankind and hate terrorists, but you continue to send them money. Your mullahs and imams chant hate-speech on the streets and advocate Holy Jihad against India, simply because you hate us for trying to make our country a better place by rejecting a medeival and backward religion like Islam and embracing modern values and ideals.
Anti-Semitism, Hinduphobia, Anti-Americanism, Luddism, Femicide, Democide, Pederasty, recruiting child soldiers, ethnic cleansing all take place in muslim countries in overwhelmingly greater amounts that in India or any other non-muslim country. You say it's "all people" that cause this, but it's only people in Muslim countries who do 90% of the killings. Arabs who spread Jew-hatred on television, and madmen like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who want to "wipe Israel off the map", and terrorists all over Pakistan who want to masssacre all Hindus.
No other countries or societies expresses this much bile and hate for those not of their own flock.
Face facts, we are economically and militarily superior to you, as well as culturally (there are more muslims in India then Hindus in Pakistan, even though all of them hate us and want to kill us). Our education systems are superior, and we do better professionally than you pakis do here in the US, or the UK, or anywhere we compete for business...
The only way your country will improve is if you accept this as truth and try to do well yourselves, instead of spening your lives in a mosque flagellating each other bloody and hating India more than white people do.
If you truly want your country to prosper, abandon religious theocracy, Islamic blasphemy laws and stop sending money to Kashmiri animals. Then we can dialogue peace. Until then, the only way for India to achieve peace is to win it through war.
I don't know about the poor Linux support of ATI's drivers wrt FOSS drivers. My ATI-Radeon 9250 (PCI, though) seems to be doing okay on my Mandriva Box with ATI's proprietary "fglrx" driver, better than it did with the FOSS "radeon" driver.
See:
$ glxgears Loading required GL library/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 5703 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1140.600 FPS 6640 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1328.000 FPS 6632 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1326.400 FPS 6613 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1322.600 FPS 6615 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1323.000 FPS 6298 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1259.600 FPS 6629 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1325.800 FPS
Using the FOSS "radeon" driver that came bundles with mandriva, it never went above 400 fps.
Well boo yaa. Fine and Dandy for you. The reality is that most of the muslim world does not believe as you do. They do hate, and kill, and you can't blame that on America, since they have been hating and killing since before 1776, when America was born.
Hindus were simple farmers, nothing more when bin-Qasim invaded the subcontinent and made mountains of Hindu skulls across what today is Balochistan.
We had no conception of religious hatred. All the wars we fought before with the Greeks, Scythians, and whever were political and territorial in nature. Even when Alexander invaded he didn't massacre or depopulate India. Your ancestors did.
When Al-Ghazni sacked temples and holy places and hindus resisted, he massacred them. That is the reality of Islamic history.
However you choose to interpret your doctrine, the actions of your people are reprehensible, and have been throughout history.
Now I'll admit theat Christians have been only slightly better in the past, but there have been no blatant acts of genocide among Christians since Milosevic, while your brethren in Kashmir, Afghanistan, and Darfur are murdering people even as we speak...
At this time, secularism is accorded the place of prestige in India. During the freedom movement, the holders of this snobbish label, pandered to the minorities (Islam and Christianity). Following independence, this supercilious snobbish label has been casting the same magic spell on the Brown Sahibs (the phony-liberal Hindus) who are camouflaging their minority pandering as secularism. What these Brown Sahibs (BS) are saying is that Indian Culture is a Composite Culture and that Hindus should be thankful to the Muslims for the latter's contribution to the composite culture. These BS secularists pay glowing tributes not only to the Moslem masses but also to the erstwhile barbaric persecutors of the Hindu for centuries, who destroyed everything that is Hindu. The Brown Sahibs conveniently forget that Pakistan was created because the Moslems did not want to live with the Kafir Hindu in the Kafir Hindustan.
While looking at the social outlook of the Brown Sahibs and their concept of the composite culture and the pluralistic society in India, the important question to ask is this:
Has there ever been peaceful co-existence between the Hindus and the muslims at anytime or were they constantly at war with each other in the several centuries gone by?
An unbiased observation would reveal that peace was the exception rather than the norm, during these past centuries. The partition of the country itself between the Hindu and the Moslem countries of India and Pakistan, is a standing challenge to the Composite Culture theory.
Of course, cultural give-and-take among the various communities of India (to form a broad unity), has been taking place in India since the Pre-Vedic periods. But this inter-cultural fusion has not occurred since the arrival of Islam and Christianity, both of whom refused to blend and integrate, prefering to maintain their separate identity and power. Thus Indian Culture, even today, continues to remain largely a Hindu Culture and Moslems and Christians want no part of it. Moslems want to carve out further areas of Pakistan and Christian Home-lands out of the truncated India that we have left for us now.
The Brown Sahibs who are wearing their Secular Blind-Folds, are unable to see the deep interior of Islam and Christianity and come out with disastrous prescriptions, which only accomplish the melt-down of Hinduism. It is particularly odd to notice that these BS secularists, when they push for secularism, seldom talk about the great Pre-Islamic period and the Culture of ancient India, in fact, they malign it implicity, sometimes even explicitly. As for the Moslem writers, few Moslem thinkers or writers consider it even fit to delve into or take a peep into the Pre-Vedic period of India; their Islamic religion dismisses this Pre-Islamic p
The difference between a mullah and myself is that I won't impose my beliefs on others. I will speak the truth, but I won't send missionaries into your country to commit genocide unless you convert to Hinduism. The very notion is ridiculous to us.
Muslims, however, spread their disease through war. From the Umayyid Caliphate to Iran they are a people who created a military industrial complex that spread Islam through death. Now, they distort the historical facts and lie, portraying themselves as victims when they are the ones killing innocents.
Muslims, aim to slaughter all non-muslims unless they convert, as instructed in their book:
Bukhari (Translator) 4:52:220 Allah's Apostle said "I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)"
Ibn Ishaq (Translator):572 "Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah's war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan."
There are worse lines. You will never see such violent hate-speech in Hindu scripture, and they want to wipe *US* out? We have every right to defend ourselves.
Theres are ayahs in the Quaraan which say that infidels are dumb,deaf, blind and stupid. I am sure at least this verse has come from this "Allah" person muslims yap about so much. Otherwise how it is possible that hundreds of thousands of Hindus from Kashmir are refugees in their own country and muslims have taken over their properties, terrorist selectively slaughter hindus and the hindu majority country and the govt. of India remains a dumb spectator.
Thousands of madrasas turn out koran spouting fanatics ready to kill and be killed and again a democratic govt. is a mute witness .
>lets see some action punk
You did in Godhra. Muslims are scared shitless of Hindus there now, so much so that they dare not carry any more terrorits attacks anymore. I can't help it if it gets your pants in a twich when some Hindu niggers choose to defend themselves...
You will when Pakistan is surrounded by America, Israel, and India. Soon, they will answer for their hate.
Again, thank you for proving that it's muslims and their sympathizers who disseminate hate-speech, not Americans, as CAIR would have people believe.
>bet you're one of those pesky little indians plotting your revenge... sitting in a hole in your curry-stinking apartment
Coming from whom I'll bet is a camel-shit stinking raghead sandnigger who makes a living throwing rocks at Jews, and has a Yankee boot up his ass, that's rather amusing.
I have some advice, seeing your virulent Hindu-hatred for what it is, why don't you go troll in the neo-nazi forums like stormfront.org, David Duke's personal blog and the KKK website? They love muslims there now. That alone is proof positive of what muslims really are...
You're right about one thing. Mine is a poor country (though not as poor as your Islamic Sharia law infested sewer). We have mud huts, you have yours. The difference is that our mud huts will not remain mud huts because we are building factories and cities in their place. Your mud huts will no longer remain mud huts because Americans are bombing them into little holes in the ground in Waziristan while you people scurry like ants and hide behind Osama bin-Laden. Hah! Pakistan's great hero, bin-Laden, isn't even a Pakistani.
And I pity your people for focusing more on Hindu-Hatred, anti-semitism, and general purpose islamic mania when huge chunks of your population starve to death, same as ours. The difference is that we acknowledge the problem and are working to fix it, which will take time. I personally prompted Indian-owned companies in the Bay Area to send over $150,000 to cuddalore during the Tsunami last year, and regularly donate to the India Development and Relief Fund from my meager stipend as a graduate student. Did you do anything during the earthquake in your country? I'll bet not. Too busy with anti-Hindu pogroms and rioting over cartoons of Moha-MAD the rapist pedophile prophet.
>there is nothing to indicate that the train was burned by the muslims as you seem so >keen to point out >
I am not a self-hating Hindu. I know there are millions of them. I see the truth beyond what the incompetent and islamofascist-sympathetic Indian media says. There's plenty of objective third party evidence to suggest that the burning down of Sabarmati express was no accident, and deliberately instigated by muslims. It is only part of a pattern of muslim behaviour and is consistent with their thinking and their way of life. The only reason why the media and the "OMG! Supreme bloody court" says otherwise is for political correctedness and to secure the muslim vote-bank while they slaughter hindus like they slaughter cattle.
> >even by the Supreme Court of India which indicted it >...proving that Gujrati RSS, like the Maharashtrian Shiv Sena have the balls to call a spade a spade and fight them on their own terms.
And win. They have put the fear of "Allah" into Gujrati muslims, and imparting fear into the fearmongers was the goal in Godhra, just like it has been in Afghanistan with Americans, or Isrealis in Palestine.
Speaking for myself, if you are for muslims in Godhra you are for an Islamic theocracy in India.
Who has his head up in his ass now I wonder quietly to myself.
Remember, no muslims=> no violence
no hindus=> no India.
We are at war with muslims, and in war, these things happen. Don;t like it? Try to convince a muslim to stop supporting terrorists and get your throat slit...
Francois Gautier was right. By-and-lare, muslims are bullies and Hindus are cowards (as you have illustrated). We bend over and accept islamic terrorist propaganda while they annihiliate our entire society. I'm sure muslims love people like you. Why don't you convert and save us the agony of calling you one of our own?
Unless you , in reality, are a crypto muslim, in which case bugger off.
Before you resort to more ad-hominem attacks and liberal dialectic consider the following:
The big difference between my humble self and the far-right nutters you implicitly accuse me of being associated with is that, unlike them, I believe in retaliation, not instigation. I believe in tolerance, pluralism, and all that gay stuff, provided those beliefs are reciprocated. The Islamic fundamentalists have not responded tolerance with tolerance. They have responded with hate everywhere, and such, do not deserve your (or anybody else's) sympathy. They need to be wiped out, all of them, by pure force.
Some of the things you say are true. There have been many negative side effects of Americas war on terror, and US soldiers are being killed by "Insurgents" but to imply that they're "winning", or that their point of view has been legitimized somehow, is being completely out of touch with reality. They are killing US soldiers, not civilians (least, not since 9/11). Killing soldiers is different from killing civilians because soldiers can fight back, women and children can't (and you would realize that viscerally if you saw the 9/11 video footage).
THAT is the result of American retaliation, which has "levelled the playing field", as you Americans say...
Your implicit suggestion of using some sort of Gandhian "Ahimsa" against terrorist bombers can't work, any more than it couldn't have worked against Nazi Germany.
Like I said, shamrock trees, lotus ponds, and pretty butterflies...
I suggest, for your own enlightenement, that you look at the present situation after removing the liberal lens in front of your eyes that distorts many things that you see.
I have been raised in a more liberal atmosphere that most people may have. I was born among leftists, raised by leftist, went to a leftist school, a leftist college, and a leftist university. I was as liberal as they came. Until my awakening was achieved when I simply looked at the facts and figures, and sow how inconsistent they were with liberal claims. It was my awakening that led me more to sympathize with neocons than with liberals. Liberals, I now realize, are a very grave threat, and far more racist, exclusionary, violent, and negationist than the conservatives you seem to dislike.
And I wonder why YOU are wasting YOUR energy trying to portray Pakistan as a pious country while we all know that it is dominated by mad mullahs with a Koran in one hand and a submachine gun on the other, and you treat your women like you treat your cattle, and train terrorists to fight in Kashmir, where they bury Hindus in mass graves after torturing them to death,and mobs burn down the US consulate over some silly cartoon,and that Pakistani immigrants in the UK and US are mostly poor, or in jail, or both, while ours are industrious and wealthy and help their country of origin constantly.
Why don't YOU face the fact that we are better-connected doing better economically than you, and actually have a future in the modern world?
Oh, and the "Babri Masjid" is called the Ramjanmabhoomi. The mosque was built over a Hindu temple, destroyed, together with it's worshippers, by Mir Baqr in the 16th century in a fit of genocidal mania. Our rightful claim to it is no different from the right of the Israelis to reclaim their holy shrine, the "Temple Mount" from muslims.
And no muslims were harmed physically during it's rightful demolition, while the Islamic terrorist attacks on it have killed Hindus. Agsin, the subsequent "riots" were in retaliation to islamic murders.We retaliate, never instigate.
So there you are, more Islamic terrorism, right under the noses of the liberal socialists who love them so dearly.
Yes, well. I too have been to Pakistan (Paki-Punjab and the NWFP) and have seen first hand what you do to Hindus and Sikhs there. I've seen Hindu women being blinded, deafened and buried alive "with my own two eyes" as Mohamed Ibn-Battuta would have put it.
The wikipedia article I referred waa written and is maintained by a "Farhan Ahmad Siddiqui"
himself a Pakistani muslim. Why would he be biased AGAINST Pakistan? The only logical solution is that it is the truth.
Pakistan is a country whose raison d'aitre has been to wipe India off the map, as Zia-ul-Haq used to say on public television.
And again, we don't harbor terrorists.
And like I said, we don't hate you. You hate us. We retaliate when you kill. That's not hate, that's self-defense. You want the fighting to stop? Fine, don't attack and murder Hindus and we'll leave you alone. Then you people can build a mini-Iran.
Oh, and furthermore, this AC gave links to 'india-facts.com', a well known watering hole for Hindu haters. So much so that they need a disclaimer on their page:
Now why would a legitimate website need a 'disclaimer' I wonder quietly to myself? Does BBC, CNN or anyone have such 'disclaimers'?
His citing of such hate sites is as discrediting to his point of view as a neo-nazi citing "www.jewwatch.com' to tout his anti-semitism...
and as for the other articles. Well, those problems do exist. See?
At least we ADMIT we have problems and are working to solve them. We live in a poor but free nation. We elect our government (useless fools that they may be). I'd rather be a poor but free Indian than a wealthy mameluk (slave in muslim-speak).
Pakistanis have an oppressive military regime where they sweep all their problems under the rug and deny access to BBC, CNN and international news agencies (other than the propaganda leaflets tha their government hands out to them). Even then their lies are exposed by international news agencies.
Muslims in India steal Hindu taxpayers' money to make their little "hajj" to their "Holy Land" (that's Mecca) and whie Hindus try to pilgrimage to their holy land in Ambarnath (that's in Kashmir), muslim slit their throats and watch while Hindu women and children twitch to death while bleeding freely.
My,my. Such acute schizophrenia. What a pity. You know, if you had been a little more articulate, and not posted as an AC like a terrorist-sympathizer afraid of being tracked by NSA would, people would actually have believed you.
Thank you for proving my point about your hatred for Hindus. I have no further use for you.
Like I said, Osama bin-Laden is in your country, not mine.
American troops are in your country, not mine.
And I don't care about your dumb wimax network, RIM and BSNL already have more cell-towers in Northeastern India than all of Balochistan, and our GDP has been higher than yours for years.
We don't hate you, we just don't care about you any more. You're unimportant.

The only way your country will improve is if you accept this as truth and try to do well yourselves, instead of spening your lives in a mosque flagellating each other bloody and hating India more than white people do.
If you truly want your country to prosper, abandon religious theocracy, Islamic blasphemy laws and stop sending money to Kashmiri animals. Then we can dialogue peace. Until then, the only way for India to achieve peace is to win it through war.
I don't know about the poor Linux support of ATI's drivers wrt FOSS drivers. My ATI-Radeon 9250 (PCI, though) seems to be doing okay on my Mandriva Box with ATI's proprietary "fglrx" driver, better than it did with the FOSS "radeon" driver.

Well boo yaa. Fine and Dandy for you. The reality is that most of the muslim world does not believe as you do. They do hate, and kill, and you can't blame that on America, since they have been hating and killing since before 1776, when America was born.
Hindus were simple farmers, nothing more when bin-Qasim invaded the subcontinent and made mountains of Hindu skulls across what today is Balochistan.
We had no conception of religious hatred. All the wars we fought before with the Greeks, Scythians, and whever were political and territorial in nature. Even when Alexander invaded he didn't massacre or depopulate India. Your ancestors did.
When Al-Ghazni sacked temples and holy places and hindus resisted, he massacred them. That is the reality of Islamic history.
However you choose to interpret your doctrine, the actions of your people are reprehensible, and have been throughout history.
Now I'll admit theat Christians have been only slightly better in the past, but there have been no blatant acts of genocide among Christians since Milosevic, while your brethren in Kashmir, Afghanistan, and Darfur are murdering people even as we speak...
At this time, secularism is accorded the place of prestige in India. During the freedom movement, the holders of this snobbish label, pandered to the minorities (Islam and Christianity). Following independence, this supercilious snobbish label has been casting the same magic spell on the Brown Sahibs (the phony-liberal Hindus) who are camouflaging their minority pandering as secularism. What these Brown Sahibs (BS) are saying is that Indian Culture is a Composite Culture and that Hindus should be thankful to the Muslims for the latter's contribution to the composite culture. These BS secularists pay glowing tributes not only to the Moslem masses but also to the erstwhile barbaric persecutors of the Hindu for centuries, who destroyed everything that is Hindu. The Brown Sahibs conveniently forget that Pakistan was created because the Moslems did not want to live with the Kafir Hindu in the Kafir Hindustan.
While looking at the social outlook of the Brown Sahibs and their concept of the composite culture and the pluralistic society in India, the important question to ask is this:
Has there ever been peaceful co-existence between the Hindus and the muslims at anytime or were they constantly at war with each other in the several centuries gone by?
An unbiased observation would reveal that peace was the exception rather than the norm, during these past centuries. The partition of the country itself between the Hindu and the Moslem countries of India and Pakistan, is a standing challenge to the Composite Culture theory.
Of course, cultural give-and-take among the various communities of India (to form a broad unity), has been taking place in India since the Pre-Vedic periods. But this inter-cultural fusion has not occurred since the arrival of Islam and Christianity, both of whom refused to blend and integrate, prefering to maintain their separate identity and power. Thus Indian Culture, even today, continues to remain largely a Hindu Culture and Moslems and Christians want no part of it. Moslems want to carve out further areas of Pakistan and Christian Home-lands out of the truncated India that we have left for us now.
The Brown Sahibs who are wearing their Secular Blind-Folds, are unable to see the deep interior of Islam and Christianity and come out with disastrous prescriptions, which only accomplish the melt-down of Hinduism. It is particularly odd to notice that these BS secularists, when they push for secularism, seldom talk about the great Pre-Islamic period and the Culture of ancient India, in fact, they malign it implicity, sometimes even explicitly. As for the Moslem writers, few Moslem thinkers or writers consider it even fit to delve into or take a peep into the Pre-Vedic period of India; their Islamic religion dismisses this Pre-Islamic p
I hope you will remain as jovial a hindu hater when your country ends in a radioactive fireball.
The difference between a mullah and myself is that I won't impose my beliefs on others. I will speak the truth, but I won't send missionaries into your country to commit genocide unless you convert to Hinduism. The very notion is ridiculous to us.
:572 "Muhammad is the man, an Apostle of my Lord. Evil was the state of our enemy so they lost the day. Fortunes change and we came upon them like lions from the thickets. The armies of Allah came openly, flying at them in rage, so they could not get away. We destroyed them and forced them to surrender. In the former days there was no battle like this; their blood flowed freely. We slew them and left them in the dust. Those who escaped were choked with terror. A multitude of them were slain. This is Allah's war in which those who do not accept Islam will have no helper. War destroyed the tribe and fate the clan."
,deaf, blind and stupid. I am sure at least this verse has come from this "Allah" person muslims yap about so much. Otherwise how it is possible that hundreds of thousands of Hindus from Kashmir are refugees in their own country and muslims have taken over their properties, terrorist selectively slaughter hindus and the hindu majority country and the govt. of India remains a dumb spectator.
Muslims, however, spread their disease through war. From the Umayyid Caliphate to Iran they are a people who created a military industrial complex that spread Islam through death. Now, they distort the historical facts and lie, portraying themselves as victims when they are the ones killing innocents.
Muslims, aim to slaughter all non-muslims unless they convert, as instructed in their book:
Bukhari (Translator) 4:52:220 Allah's Apostle said "I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy)"
Ibn Ishaq (Translator)
There are worse lines. You will never see such violent hate-speech in Hindu scripture, and they want to wipe *US* out? We have every right to defend ourselves.
Theres are ayahs in the Quaraan which say that infidels are dumb
Thousands of madrasas turn out koran spouting fanatics ready to kill and be killed and again a democratic govt. is a mute witness .
No, instead of being a clueless liberal I am a Hindu revivalist, and that is why you hindu haters hate us.
>lets see some action punk
You did in Godhra. Muslims are scared shitless of Hindus there now, so much so that they dare not carry any more terrorits attacks anymore. I can't help it if it gets your pants in a twich when some Hindu niggers choose to defend themselves...
You will when Pakistan is surrounded by America, Israel, and India. Soon, they will answer for their hate.
Again, thank you for proving that it's muslims and their sympathizers who disseminate hate-speech, not Americans, as CAIR would have people believe.
>bet you're one of those pesky little indians plotting your revenge... sitting in a hole in your curry-stinking apartment
Coming from whom I'll bet is a camel-shit stinking raghead sandnigger who makes a living throwing rocks at Jews, and has a Yankee boot up his ass, that's rather amusing.
I have some advice, seeing your virulent Hindu-hatred for what it is, why don't you go troll in the neo-nazi forums like stormfront.org, David Duke's personal blog and the KKK website? They love muslims there now. That alone is proof positive of what muslims really are...
Thank you for proving that it's muslims, not Americans, who troll the internet spreading hate-speech and ad-hominem attacks...
Oh, and plenty of people sympathise with the Ramjanmabhoomi. Hundreds of millions of Hindus, and many educated and informed westerners as well:

You're right about one thing. Mine is a poor country (though not as poor as your Islamic Sharia law infested sewer). We have mud huts, you have yours. The difference is that our mud huts will not remain mud huts because we are building factories and cities in their place. Your mud huts will no longer remain mud huts because Americans are bombing them into little holes in the ground in Waziristan while you people scurry like ants and hide behind Osama bin-Laden. Hah! Pakistan's great hero, bin-Laden, isn't even a Pakistani.
And I pity your people for focusing more on Hindu-Hatred, anti-semitism, and general purpose islamic mania when huge chunks of your population starve to death, same as ours. The difference is that we acknowledge the problem and are working to fix it, which will take time. I personally prompted Indian-owned companies in the Bay Area to send over $150,000 to cuddalore during the Tsunami last year, and regularly donate to the India Development and Relief Fund from my meager stipend as a graduate student. Did you do anything during the earthquake in your country? I'll bet not. Too busy with anti-Hindu pogroms and rioting over cartoons of Moha-MAD the rapist pedophile prophet.
>there is nothing to indicate that the train was burned by the muslims as you seem so >keen to point out
...proving that Gujrati RSS, like the Maharashtrian Shiv Sena have the balls to call a spade a spade and fight them on their own terms.
>
I am not a self-hating Hindu. I know there are millions of them. I see the truth beyond what the incompetent and islamofascist-sympathetic Indian media says. There's plenty of objective third party evidence to suggest that the burning down of Sabarmati express was no accident, and deliberately instigated by muslims. It is only part of a pattern of muslim behaviour and is consistent with their thinking and their way of life. The only reason why the media and the "OMG! Supreme bloody court" says otherwise is for political correctedness and to secure the muslim vote-bank while they slaughter hindus like they slaughter cattle.
>
>even by the Supreme Court of India which indicted it

And win. They have put the fear of "Allah" into Gujrati muslims, and imparting fear into the fearmongers was the goal in Godhra, just like it has been in Afghanistan with Americans, or Isrealis in Palestine.
Speaking for myself, if you are for muslims in Godhra you are for an Islamic theocracy in India.
Who has his head up in his ass now I wonder quietly to myself.
Remember, no muslims=> no violence
no hindus=> no India.
We are at war with muslims, and in war, these things happen. Don;t like it? Try to convince a muslim to stop supporting terrorists and get your throat slit...
Francois Gautier was right. By-and-lare, muslims are bullies and Hindus are cowards (as you have illustrated). We bend over and accept islamic terrorist propaganda while they annihiliate our entire society. I'm sure muslims love people like you. Why don't you convert and save us the agony of calling you one of our own?
Unless you , in reality, are a crypto muslim, in which case bugger off.
Before you resort to more ad-hominem attacks and liberal dialectic consider the following:
The big difference between my humble self and the far-right nutters you implicitly accuse me of being associated with is that, unlike them, I believe in retaliation, not instigation. I believe in tolerance, pluralism, and all that gay stuff, provided those beliefs are reciprocated. The Islamic fundamentalists have not responded tolerance with tolerance. They have responded with hate everywhere, and such, do not deserve your (or anybody else's) sympathy. They need to be wiped out, all of them, by pure force.
Some of the things you say are true. There have been many negative side effects of Americas war on terror, and US soldiers are being killed by "Insurgents" but to imply that they're "winning", or that their point of view has been legitimized somehow, is being completely out of touch with reality. They are killing US soldiers, not civilians (least, not since 9/11). Killing soldiers is different from killing civilians because soldiers can fight back, women and children can't (and you would realize that viscerally if you saw the 9/11 video footage).
THAT is the result of American retaliation, which has "levelled the playing field", as you Americans say...
Your implicit suggestion of using some sort of Gandhian "Ahimsa" against terrorist bombers can't work, any more than it couldn't have worked against Nazi Germany.
Like I said, shamrock trees, lotus ponds, and pretty butterflies...
I suggest, for your own enlightenement, that you look at the present situation after removing the liberal lens in front of your eyes that distorts many things that you see.
I have been raised in a more liberal atmosphere that most people may have. I was born among leftists, raised by leftist, went to a leftist school, a leftist college, and a leftist university. I was as liberal as they came. Until my awakening was achieved when I simply looked at the facts and figures, and sow how inconsistent they were with liberal claims. It was my awakening that led me more to sympathize with neocons than with liberals. Liberals, I now realize, are a very grave threat, and far more racist, exclusionary, violent, and negationist than the conservatives you seem to dislike.
And I wonder why YOU are wasting YOUR energy trying to portray Pakistan as a pious country while we all know that it is dominated by mad mullahs with a Koran in one hand and a submachine gun on the other, and you treat your women like you treat your cattle, and train terrorists to fight in Kashmir, where they bury Hindus in mass graves after torturing them to death,and mobs burn down the US consulate over some silly cartoon,and that Pakistani immigrants in the UK and US are mostly poor, or in jail, or both, while ours are industrious and wealthy and help their country of origin constantly.
Why don't YOU face the fact that we are better-connected doing better economically than you, and actually have a future in the modern world?
Oh, and the "Babri Masjid" is called the Ramjanmabhoomi. The mosque was built over a Hindu temple, destroyed, together with it's worshippers, by Mir Baqr in the 16th century in a fit of genocidal mania. Our rightful claim to it is no different from the right of the Israelis to reclaim their holy shrine, the "Temple Mount" from muslims.
And no muslims were harmed physically during it's rightful demolition, while the Islamic terrorist attacks on it have killed Hindus. Agsin, the subsequent "riots" were in retaliation to islamic murders.We retaliate, never instigate.
So there you are, more Islamic terrorism, right under the noses of the liberal socialists who love them so dearly.
Yes, well. I too have been to Pakistan (Paki-Punjab and the NWFP) and have seen first hand what you do to Hindus and Sikhs there. I've seen Hindu women being blinded, deafened and buried alive "with my own two eyes" as Mohamed Ibn-Battuta would have put it.
The wikipedia article I referred waa written and is maintained by a "Farhan Ahmad Siddiqui"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Siddiqui
himself a Pakistani muslim. Why would he be biased AGAINST Pakistan? The only logical solution is that it is the truth.
Pakistan is a country whose raison d'aitre has been to wipe India off the map, as Zia-ul-Haq used to say on public television.
And again, we don't harbor terrorists.
And like I said, we don't hate you. You hate us. We retaliate when you kill. That's not hate, that's self-defense. You want the fighting to stop? Fine, don't attack and murder Hindus and we'll leave you alone. Then you people can build a mini-Iran.
Oh, and furthermore, this AC gave links to 'india-facts.com', a well known watering hole for Hindu haters. So much so that they need a disclaimer on their page:
http://www.india-facts.com/
Now why would a legitimate website need a 'disclaimer' I wonder quietly to myself? Does BBC, CNN or anyone have such 'disclaimers'?
His citing of such hate sites is as discrediting to his point of view as a neo-nazi citing "www.jewwatch.com' to tout his anti-semitism...
and as for the other articles. Well, those problems do exist. See?
At least we ADMIT we have problems and are working to solve them. We live in a poor but free nation. We elect our government (useless fools that they may be). I'd rather be a poor but free Indian than a wealthy mameluk (slave in muslim-speak).
Pakistanis have an oppressive military regime where they sweep all their problems under the rug and deny access to BBC, CNN and international news agencies (other than the propaganda leaflets tha their government hands out to them). Even then their lies are exposed by international news agencies.
Muslims in India steal Hindu taxpayers' money to make their little "hajj" to their "Holy Land" (that's Mecca) and whie Hindus try to pilgrimage to their holy land in Ambarnath (that's in Kashmir), muslim slit their throats and watch while Hindu women and children twitch to death while bleeding freely.
My,my. Such acute schizophrenia. What a pity. You know, if you had been a little more articulate, and not posted as an AC like a terrorist-sympathizer afraid of being tracked by NSA would, people would actually have believed you. Thank you for proving my point about your hatred for Hindus. I have no further use for you. Like I said, Osama bin-Laden is in your country, not mine. American troops are in your country, not mine. And I don't care about your dumb wimax network, RIM and BSNL already have more cell-towers in Northeastern India than all of Balochistan, and our GDP has been higher than yours for years. We don't hate you, we just don't care about you any more. You're unimportant.
