New York - Islam is No Religion of Peace. Prove Us Wrong |

Luggages are seen near a pool of blood after shootings by unidentified assailants at a railway station in Mumbai November 26, 2008.
For example, in yesterday’s New York Times‘ 
front page coverage of the Mumbai massacre, the reporters do not describe the terrorists as “Islamic terrorists.” Instead, they refer to them as “Pakistani-based militants,” “militants,” “gunmen, (five or six times)” “attackers,” and “suspects.” They quote President Bush who referred to them as “killers.” They quote the head of India’s National Security Guards who called them “terrorists.” Once or twice they mention India’s “vulnerability to terrorism” but they do not join Islam, Islamism, or fundamentalist Islam to terrorism.
This mis-use of language, even for an ostensibly noble purpose, will only further confuse us and slow down a collective response to the Islamic terrorist attacks against civilians.
Martha Nussbaum, in the Los Angeles Times , writes that Hindus also massacre Muslims and refers to the awful carnage of Muslims in Gujarat.
Dorothy Rabinowitz, in the Wall Street Journal , notes that, in a television interview, Deepak Chopra (!) quickly blamed United States foreign policy, not Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism, for the Mumbai massacre; when challenged, he genially conceded that the massacre was really “everyone’s” fault.
Everyone’s fault; Muslim fundamentalist terrorists excluded.
According to today’s Wall Street Journal , the ten well-prepared terrorists, when asked by several of their captives why they were doing this, answered: “Remember Babri Masjid?” (a sixteenth century mosque built by India’s first Mughal Muslim emperor and destroyed by Hindu radicals in 1992.) And “Remember Godhra?” (a town in the Indian state of Gujarat where religious rioting evolved into an anti-Muslim pogram in 2002.
Alright. If this is strictly a Hindu-Muslim fight–then why execute the Jews? Why ask for American and British citizens? And why send young men who are so naive that they actually expect to get out alive and had the sea route pre-mapped for their return voyage?
I appreciate the desire to de-escalate what is already a fierce religious war between India and Pakistan and Bangladesh, between Hindus and Muslims. It is true: The majority of India’s Muslim citizens are not terrorists and should not be treated as such; most of Pakistan’s Muslim citizens are not terrorists either. I am sure that many are quite charming, soft-spoken, and personally peaceful. No doubt, they, too, are intimidated by or even held hostage, economically, socially, and psychologically by Islamic terrorist militant attackers and killers who are also gunmen in Pakistan.
The problem: If the good Muslims do not stand up to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, they further endanger not only themselves but the rest of us too. Standing up to it is risky and might include….leaving Islam until it becomes more peaceful, or until all the leading mullahs issue fatwas against Islamic militant attackers who terrify their neighborhood and the rest of the planet.
If these savage acts are against historical Islam and against the Qu’ran, then why don’t the mullahs condemn it–and in the name of Islam? Let them demand: No more attacks against Jews and other infidels, no more attacks against Muslims of another sect. If the mullahs of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan do not do so, we had better draw the necessary conclusions and act to defend ourselves and to eradicate the Islamic terrorist much more effectively.
NEWSFLASH! The great counter-terrorism expert, Steve Emerson, also published a blog today (”They are Winning,”) at The Daily Beast which is quite on the same wave-length. I urge you to read it. You may find it here
God! I hope that the New Security Team considers what we are saying. Our lives depend upon that.

Boy oh Boy have we been desperately waiting for someone to have the courage to simply say the truth. THE PLAIN SIMPLE TRUTH.
The networks are ALL in bed with the terrorists.
MSN, CNN, CBS, ABC, and the rest of these communist pacifist Media Networks.
These vicious American Hating reporters GLEED with each and every death of our soldiers in Iraq. They simply were drawling to report the NEW DEATH TOTAL every day. They didnt find anything more newsworthy of making the top headlines each day but the death of American soldiers. They are just as sadistic as the terrorists are, because they want the same thing!!!
Do you remeber the HUGE ABU GARIB SCANDAL??? That was the LEAD HEADLINE FOR ALMOST SIX MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They couldn’t get enough of it. But when it came to the INDIAN MASSACARE last week it barely got 6 HOURS of coverage!!!
They are just as much to blame as the terrorists themselves. Whether you like it or not, this is a fact.
The problem with this above article which is 1000% accurate is that you won't read it anywhere else but here.... But the people that need to see this and understand this, won't.

The Jews were targeted because of Zionism... They were killed because of the policies of the state of Israel and that is proven by the phone transcripts of the terrorists and the interrogation of the terrorist captured. We need more havdalah between Zionism and Judaism. Jews should never die for a state that doesnt represent them or our Torah!

Anon 10;22- do you think the terrorists interviewed the Chabad Center people regarding their views on ZionisM before slaughtering them? Do you think they would ask you? These poor people were killed because they were Jews, end of story.

Oh, please. Jews are killed because they are Jews. We've been persecuted since the churban. Don't blame it on Israel, blame on our aveiros.

These Jews were targeted cuz their Jews. Period. YOUR CHEAPENING THE KEDOSHIM BY SAYING THAT.
I also dont agree with the Zionists and I think that their only aim was to destroy yiddishkeit.
YET, this doesn't mean we should bring it up as a culprit for everything that happens.
Yidden were burnt and tortured by the Spanish Inquisition; BEFORE THERE WAS A STATE.
Thousands were massacred during the crusades;BEFORE THERE WAS A STATE.
Millions were gassed and killed barbarically just a few mere decades ago; BEFORE THERE WAS A STATE.
PLEASE READ A LITTLE CHUMASH , RASHI: HALACHA HU ... EISOV SZONE ES YAAKOV....
Don't take away the zchus of the hariegim , who died just because they're our Teire brothers.

Before you open your mouth, read your history. More Jews were killed before the "Zionist State" than after it was created.
Hitler YM"S never ever
mentioned "Zionists", he in fact mentioned many times "Talmud Rabbiners"
We have no answers of why Jews are being killed but your naive and stupid comments certainly don't help our cause.

I agree with you 100%! #3 has been drinking from poisoned wells! Wells, poisoned by Sinas Yisroel! The only thing that doesn't cease to amaze me is, how a Jewish heart doesn't feel the pain, or the joy when a miracle happens to save those innocent Jews who were in harm's way! If they don't see or feel the truth, then nothing, absolutely nothing will convince them!!!

But the tragic state of events is that we have amongst the "Heimishe" , supposedly intelligent columnist/s who speak the same language as the NYT. They use the same "Moral Equivalence" scale. They regurgitate the "hamas" and other "muslim" propaganda [almost] verbatim! Always blaming the "Zraeylis" and the "Zionists" for everything under the sun. As a matter of fact, this one columnist, specifically, blamed the "Zionists" for "Kristaallnacht", repeating what goebbels and the other nazis YMSHV"Z spewed!!! When will they learn that when a Goy, yes a Goy kills a Jew ,or Jews, they don't care about their ideology. They murder the most fervent Zionists and the biggest Kanoiim with equal zeal! The nazis ymshv"z shot and sent to the gas chambers, both, the Holiest Tzadikkim and (l"h) the most dedicated apostate Jews. Why didn't the Catholic Church, at least exert pressure on the nazis to save the apostate Jews who converted to Catholicism???!!! Anyway, it's only a rhetorical question. For we know the answer!!!

As far as pointing fingers go, lets forget about everone else and look internally. I have been reading these posts for the last five days. While the majority advocate Achdus in Klal Yisroel, every so often there is a post that seeks to make an issue about Mumbai, the Indian Commandos, Neturei Karta, The Medina, Flags on the coffins or no flags, ceremony at the airport, politicians......
Why is it so difficult for us to accept that a huge tragedy occured, and it is in our own interest to walk away from this a better person. If at the end of the day, we haven't changed or improved ourselves, then their deaths were for naught. Of course the RBS"O had his reasons and cheshbonos ( which we obviously do not know). However, we can try to put this into perspective and use their deaths as a tool to improve ourselves. By doing so, we can place more meaning on this issue and say that their death made me a better person. It caused me to be kinder, daven better, accept on myself to do more Chesed....
It isn't my place to tell people what to do, however do something!!! Most of us know very well which areas in our lives need improvement. Lets focus on that, do it and stick to it. How many people are still sticking to committments they made after the "Mercaz Harav" massacre??
And then, we can say that their deaths brought us closer to Hashem and ultimately will speed up the coming of Moshiach. Amen Cain Yehi Ratzon!

Although, I have to admit, here in the Deep South, the media had made it a note to keep repeating that it was the chabbad families that were killed, not just 6 americians! Had anyone watched Obama's news meeting?
He didn't mention one thing about the chabbad rabbis! So much goes to say for our President -Elect Barak Hussein Obama.

You feel warm and fuzzy now? Sticking your head in the sand is dangerous. Sure we must introspect. But we must also be keenly aware of who our enemies are.

There have been less Jews killed in the last sixty years than any other period [Rome crusades Spain Chamielnicki ym's bloodlibels pogroms Hitler ym's and Stalin ym's] of the long dark exile we have endured .
When you don't see the myriads miracles that have been wrought for the emaciated survivors of the concentratrion camps and how the nation of Israel surrounded by 22 arab nations has been saved from four brutal wars imposed upon them and how anti zionism is used as a pretext for anti semetism than there is a veil over your heartand mind .
It is time to leave the ghetto and leave your shackles behind by understanding that when such senseless hatred is directed at our own brothers than we are not fit for redemption .
