Two bombs went off simultaneously in India. One at a restaurant and another at an arena.

Two things I often hear from my more liberal friends regarding terrorism are:

The West is at fault because of its foreign policy
We need to understand them

I have this to say, stop saying these two things. Radical Islam wants to take over the world. Their mentality is no different than Adolf Hitler. They are ruthless bastards who continually target civilians in their quest to rid the world of Jews, Christians, and any other religion, including atheists, who do not succumb to their ideology.

I truly do not understand how any sane person can give one ounce of credibility to these mentally unstable, barbaric, backward, people.

The AP reports:

HYDERABAD, India - A pair of almost simultaneous bombings blamed on Islamic extremists tore through a popular family restaurant and an outdoor arena on Saturday night, killing at least 42 people in this southern Indian city plagued by Hindu-Muslim tensions.

The restaurant was destroyed by the bomb placed at the entrance. Blood-covered tin plates and broken glasses littered the road outside.

The other blast struck a laser show at an auditorium in Lumbini park, leaving pools of blood and dead bodies between rows of seats punctured by shrapnel. Some seats were hurled 100 feet away.

Officials said Sunday that foreign-based Islamic extremists may have been behind the attacks.

“Available information points to the involvement of terrorist organizations based in Bangladesh and Pakistan,” Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh state, where Hyderabad is located, told reporters after an emergency state Cabinet meeting.

Reddy did not name any groups, but Indian media reports, quoting unnamed security officials, identified the Bangladesh-based Harkatul Jihad Al-Islami. Reddy declined to provide more details. “It is not possible to divulge all this information,” he said.

Harkatul, which is banned in Bangladesh, wants to establish strict Islamic rule in Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation governed by secular laws.
