    @Teri: Kashkari is NOT pronounced cash-carry. Why are Americans able to pronounce long As?

    Neel’s parrents had to leave Srinagar, Kashmir, India in search of better job prospectus when they were denied same at their birthplace being from a minorty community. Kashkari family had two illustarious persons namely Pandits Srikanth Kashkari a vedic authority and Sudarshan Kashkari a writer. They were Neel’s grand uncle and grand father.

    All prominent Muslims and Muslim Organizations in India went public in their condemnation of the Mumbai blasts. ShahRukh Khan himself went on TV to express his heartfelt anger and sorrow. The condemnation of the Mumbai blasts was total – from Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Parsis (Zorashtrians), Jews, Jains. Religions are all for peace. Militants abuse and hijack them. Christian militants (crusaders), Muslim militants, Hindu militants, Jewish miltants (settlers) – are all abusing their religions. They represent only themselves and nobody else.

    Yes, 0.1% of Muslims (1.5 million) are the most violent ones, yet 80% of Muslims are fundamentalists who tacitly/passively support them and will gladly join them at the first sign that the violent strategy of World domination succeeds.

    No prominent Muslims protested the Mumbai massacre telling their coreligionists that this is wrong and no Muslims demonstrated in support of the victims of the Mumbai massacre. No Muslim expressed sorrow for the specially targeted innocent Jews during the Mumbai massacre.

    However violent mass demonstrations were held and dozens killed following the truthfully depicted Mohammad cartoons.

    You do not deny that Muslim societies are among the most backward in the world for the chief reason that they are trapped by Islam’s deadly backwardness.

    Jews are none of your business and if them having a tiny sliver of land bothers you is proof of your Islamic tendencies for world domination and exclusion of others right to their own ancestral land.

    What is it that you need to cling on to and defend Muslim beliefs that are completely foreign to your ancient culture and were imposed on you with tremendous cruelty.

    Less than 0.1% of all Muslims are fundamentalists. Needless to say, they are powerful and grab headlines with their activities. Does it make sense to brand the remaining 99.99% in the same camp? Do the super right wing settler Jews represent the views of the entire 20 million jews? While the activities of the 0.1% must be denounced without reservations, it is not acceptable to dismiss the 99.99 percent as “you are all the same” – that amounts to ignorance.

    Yeah, stay philosophical and historically selective Mahesh Lavannis and you will have another Mumbai massacre.

    Taking lessons from the devastation that Islam and Muslims have caused India is what will help you overcome this.

    Look at the the kind of wrecks that Pakistan and Bangladesh are because of one major reason: Islam imposed backwardness.

    India still has a long way to go but at least is making progress in leaps and bounds. A non Islamic civilization eventually finds its way out of dire conditions, Islamic ones are in the stray jacket that Islam imposes on them and cannot get out of it.

    Do not give Malaysia as a counter example, its 30% Buddhist + 10% Hindu population is responsible to all the prosperity there, the rest are parasites living off of the sweat, ingenuity and smarts of the former.

    All other 55 Organization of Islamic Countries members are in terrible shape, even the oil rich parasites
