Nov. 27th, 2008 10:44 pmAl Qaeda may have done the Muslim peoples of India no favours.
Muslims make up 13.4% of India's population. There are more than 800 million Hindus (just over 80%).
Sometimes, if you allow your idiot children to pull a tiger's tail, your whole family may end up in the tiger's stomach.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The BJP don't actually need much of an excuse to get even more militant.
Ah well, some folk don't know how dense they can be. Nor do they realise how much their families may end up paying for this. It's one thing taking on America and the UK, and quite another to antagonise a very near neighbour, which may have fewer scruples even than the US under Dubya.
I hope that India doesn't over-react. Most Muslims in India had nothing to do with this. Much blood was spilled during partition. Maybe the Indians can make common cause with the ordinary non-militant Pakistanis. Human beings above religious fanatics, surely.
Fingers crossed.
