Exclamation Terror attacks in Mumbai target Westerners
A short while ago, but for those that haven't heard, tune in to the news.

From CNN

"Several people have been killed in a series of coordinated attacks targeting sites popular with tourists and business people, according to police and CNN's sister network in India."

Stay safe

I am watching this on BBC World. They say the terrorists specifically target US and British passport holders. Hostages are taken at two big hotels.
Current toll: 80 killed and 250 wounded.

Latest update: 9 sites were under attack, 2 are still going on.
Hope those responsible are caught.
RIP to the victims.

Looks like more peace-loving Muslims.

"Religion of peace"?

I don't think so.

Not necessarily talking about India, but wow long will it take for certain countries to fully crack down on terror.

How much can we look forward to, when political and religious leaders condemn terrorist acts in public, but on the other hand might sympathize the actions or even support them.

Countries in which proper education, womens rights etc. are disregarded and the people who do not know of any better, can easily be brainwashed into believing that all westeners are Infidels.

I have no issues with anyone's race, creed or religion, but it is damn hard to have hopeful feelings towards certain corners of the world when you get this s*it frequently.

I am sick and tired of this BS.
