One of the developers on my team here at work is from India and is actually back home there right now getting married. No idea where in the country. There's going to be 1,000 people at his wedding!

I hope this will not backlash too hard on the indian muslims. I remember they killed thousands of muslims in revenge for a train fire accident a couple of years ago, just because of early rumours that it was set by islamists.

Conservative North West MEP Sajjad Karim, speaking by mobile phone from a barricaded basement room in the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, said he and others had fled from machine-gun fire.
He said: "I was in the lobby of the hotel when gunmen came in and people started running. There were about 25 or 30 of us.
"Some of us split one way and some another. A gunman just stood there spraying bullets around, right next to me. I managed to turn away and I ran into the hotel kitchen and then we were shunted into a restaurant in the basement."

Through that twitter link I found this flickr photostream:

I hate that these photos are of violence and destruction and all that, but there's a really cool visual feel to these night photos, I guess because of the color and shine from the streetlights.

depending on which side of barricade you are for ones they are terrorist for others they are freedom fighters
- Elaborate. Which freedom in India do you speak of Plato?babaganush

- Yeah spraying innocent tourists with bullets is a sane way of getting your point across.DrBombay
- hahahamorilla
- there´s no justification for this. none.gung_hoek
- i'm not defending those dudes but i became so sick of everyone labeling everybody terroristspr2
- If they target civilians they are terrorists. Simplebabaganush
- yeah but by that definition every country in the world engaged in terrorist activity at some pointpr2
- that´s some deep thoughts you got there, pr2.gung_hoek
- As a by product maybe. Not as a sole aim of conflict. It's terrorism.babaganush
- i'm pretty sure it goes deeper then "Let's go kill some tourists!"pr2
- Jesus man. Yeah, you can be right on and deconstruct it like some thesis. If it was your father that got shot on a business trip - you'd se it as terrorismbabaganush
- business trip, you'd call it terrorismbabaganush
- And I didn't think for a second it was a hoot to kill some touristsbabaganush
- of course man, but because it wasn't my father then i can step back and think it through calmlypr2
- Sorry but you sound a bit pompous. I'm still being rational - so elaborate then. How is it freedom fighting? Even by pure dictionary definition?babaganush
- dictionary definition?babaganush
- this was to said that the terrorist calling is the simplest mind game. I don't agree with their tactics but whether i agree with their aims...pr2
- their aims -- i don't know because i don't know the issues at heart.pr2
- yeah I understand. But their tactics are precisely what makes them terrorists. None of us are placed to comment on their aims.babaganush
