http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/3539171/Mumbai-attacks-Jews-tortured-before-executed-during-hostage-crisis.html

from “The Daily Telegraph” for December 2, it begins:

“Mumbai attacks: Jews tortured before being executed during hostage crisis

Israeli hostages killed by Islamic terrorists during the attacks on Mumbai (formerly Bombay) were tortured by their captors before they were bound together and killed….”

Anyone who’s seen “Suicide Killers” — http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830968/ — the documentary of interviews with failed corset bombers in Israeli prisons — will recall these similarly baby-faced killers explaining, out of straight faces and true-believer sanpaku eyes, how they just knew they needed to die as martyrs in order to have good sex — without a scintilla of doubt apparent!

Such convictions, and how well deluded faithful serve the ends of some Cheney-league cynics on the jihadi side, can’t help but resonate for history fans with Hassan i Sabbah’s 11th Century army of Hashashshim — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan-i_Sabbah — who were indoctrinated in a rhetorically fluid Shia fundamentalism spinnable to justify any action its practitioners fancied, that rewarded successful surviving assassins with a majoun-fueled trip to Hassan’s movie-set Garden of Paradise in his stronghold of Alamout, where similarly-indoctrinated houris gave God’s Soldiers their best approximation of the 600-year orgasm some scripture hints at, then sent them off to slit more Sunni gizzards and earn thereby more stoned unearthly cooze.

What fascinates me most here is how all this drugging must’ve got knotted around fundy doctrine, and what the subjective experience of these Fedayeen must have been as they were basic-trained to search and destroy on roid-rage, blow and acid. I’m guessing they each met the Prophet at least once. Imagine the potential blockbuster: “The Teachings of Sheikh Owsley: a Jihadi Way of Knowledge”

Now that’s serious Gnosticism!

Oh yeah, on topic: who would benefit the most from the India-Pakistan War? That’s who’s most likely responsible, just my two cents.

It would indeed be (very) stupid to react as America did. Though America seems to have intended to use such an attack that oh so conveniently ‘happened’ as a pretext for goals of empire.

The sensible answer - Don’t react at all. Or not with the heart. At least not with random violence. React with the head.

The deaths of two hundred in a country of a billion people - one thousand million - is a rounding error.

Were the attacks disgusting? An outrage? Something that cannot be ignored? Certainly. But India certainly has the ability to root out the cancer with microsurgery rather than by lopping of limbs. In particular its own Muslim limbs.

Hopefully the saner elements in India will have learned from the U.S. example of the last eight years and they will not allow their bonkers right wing elements to co-opt the event for their own fanatic aims, as was done in the U.S. We hope.

Lo and behold now the truth is coming out in the media that this entire operation was planned by Indian muslims.

Monsieur Brecher (or is it Comte du Brech?) almost certainly does not read the comments, if he does, he will not give a fuck about the BS any one of us pumps out in said comments, so sit down, shut the fuck up and stop taking it so fucking seriously.

“I agree that the comments should be disabled.”

Why do you post any then?
