<h2><span style="color: #000080;">It cannot be labelled Hindu terror or saffron terror for the simple reason that Hinduism does not tell you to convert or kill.  Hinduism is freedom of faith.  Hinduism is not a belief system.  So there is no question of terrorism in Hinduism.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">However, I must say that there are several people who are concerned about increasing Islamic terrorist attacks.  In desperation, someone or some groups might have resorted to attacking Muslims.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">The Union Government should launch a serious probe on the origins of anti-Islamic terrorism.  Why is it happening?  Has the Union Government failed to control Islamic terrorism?</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">A judicial probe should be ordered into the UPA Government&#8217;s failure in tackling Islamic terrorism with a deft hand.</span></h2>

<h2><span style="color: #000080;">In order to hide his inferiority complex, he took refuge under the Italian fascist dominatrix Sonia &#8212; who appointed him as the Home Minister.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">As Home Minister, this dog called P Chidambaram had his day.  Whenever he barked, the Italian bitch threw biscuits.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">As he was impotent, Islamic terrorists and naxalites had a field day.  They started killing at will right under his eyes.  Bossini Sonia was busy with her evangelical tie-ups.<br />
</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">The impotent Home Minister could not do anything for the simple reason that he was impotent.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">One day, he hit upon an idea.  He called all the police officials and told them: &#8220;From now on, don&#8217;t focus on the real terrorists.  They will kill anyway.  Focus on saffron terrorism.&#8221;</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">The police officers told him that there is nothing called as saffron terrorism.  Hindu Sadhus are very peaceful.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">To this, our smart alec Chidambaram replied: &#8220;I will inform the media.  They will create a fiction of Saffron terrorism and make it a reality&#8221;.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">For the fiction of Saffron terrorrism, Sonia bitch threw our dog Chidambaram a biscuit.  His purpose was served.<br />
</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000;">This traitor is one of the greatest traitor recorded in Hindu history, others being Jaichand, Mir Jafer and Mani Shankar Aiyer.</span></h2>

<h2>Hindus are inclusivist.  They recite peaceful prayers like &#8220;Sarve Bhavanthu Sukhinaha (May all be peaceful) unlike the Islamic/Christian chants of &#8220;Death to the Infidels&#8221;.  Like Commies, they don&#8217;t bay for the blood of the haves.</h2>
<h2>Hindus are the most persecuted people in the world.   The Home Minister P Chidambaram has shown his impotence by submitting to the terrorists&#8217; will.</h2>
<h2>Rather than talking on Islamic/Christian/Left terrorists with an iron will, he has put the blame on the victims of terror.</h2>
<h2>When you can&#8217;t beat em, join em&#8230; that seems to be the philsophy of impotent P Chidambaram.</h2>

<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Nityanand Tirth has stated that the saffron colour is associated with the saints in India and by equating it to terrorism, Chidambaram has defamed all the sadhus and saints in the country, including him (Nityanand Tirth). </span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">The Sadhu has done the right thing.  These pseudosecularists were taking Hindus for granted while bending over backward to please the Islamic fanatics.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">As I had remarked in my earlier post, Saffron terror is like Bancou&#8217;s ghost.  It just does not exist.  There is not even a single court order convicting a saffron terrorist.  Yet these pseudo politicians and journos keep giving moral lessons to Hindus.  Time to call a spade a spade.  It is Islamic appeasement and Islamic terror that should end.</span></h2>

// ]]&gt;</script> WASHINGTON &#8211; The Arab lobby and most particularly the Saudi lobby, one of the strongest in America—even stronger than Israel’s, according to a controversial new book penned by an American expert on the Middle East.</p>
<p>Mitchell Bard&#8217;s &#8220;Arab Lobby&#8221; was written as a sort of response to those who warn of AIPAC&#8217;s influence over Washington. Bard, who serves as executive director of the nonprofit American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE), claims that &#8220;one of the most important distinguishing characteristics of the Arab lobby is that it has no popular support. While the Israeli lobby has hundreds of thousands of grass root members and public opinion polls consistently reveal a huge gap between support for <a onmouseover="this.href=unescape(this.href)" href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3284752,00.html" target="_blank">Israel</a> and the Arab nations-Palestinians, the Arab lobby has almost no foot soldiers or public sympathy. It&#8217;s most powerful elements tend to be bureaucrats who represent only their personal views or what they believe are their institutional interests, and foreign governments that care only about their national interests, not those of the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;What they lack in human capital in terms of American advocates, they make up for with almost unlimited resources to try to buy what they usually cannot win on the merits of their arguments,&#8221; he writes in the book.</p>

<p>Due to this lack of support, according to Bard, &#8220;The Saudis have taken a different tact from the Israeli lobby, focusing a top-down rather than bottom-up approach to lobbying. As hired gun, J. Crawford Cook, wrote in laying out his proposed strategy for the kingdom, &#8216;Saudi Arabia has a need to influence the few that influence the many, rather than the need to influence the many to whom the few must respond.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>Attorney Alan M. Dershowitz wrote about Bard&#8217;s book in The Daily Beast: &#8220;The primary means by which the Saudis exercise this influence is money. They spend enormous amounts of lucre to buy (or rent) former state department officials, diplomats, White House aides, and legislative leaders who become their elite lobbying corps. Far more insidiously, the Saudis let it be known that if current government officials want to be hired following their retirement from government service, they had better hew to the Saudi line while they are serving in our government.</p>
<p>&#8220;The former Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar, who was so close to the President George H.W. Bush that he referred to himself as &#8216;Bandar Bush,&#8217; acknowledged the relationship between how a government official behaves while in office and how well he will be rewarded when he leaves office. &#8220;If the reputation then builds that the Saudis take care of friends when they leave office, you&#8217;d be surprised how much better friends you have when they are just coming into office,&#8221; the lawyer wrote.</p>
<p>Bard concludes that &#8220;given the potential of these post-retirement opportunities, it would not be surprising if officials adopted positions while in government to make themselves marketable to the Arab lobby.&#8221;</td>

<h2>His books on Christianity and the history of western philosophy are classics.</h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">He is responsible for the demise of Victorian morality with his classic lines &#8212; Skin to Skin is no sin.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">His essays on scientific temper are still read and are seen as beacons for the rational mind.</span></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #800000;">Moreover, Russell had the intellectual honesty to admit that he felt truly jealous and envious when he saw the innocent tribals dancing freely without any anxiety of the morrow. </span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Russell&#8217;s logic is on the dot.  No doubts about it.  He was honest to the core.  No doubts about it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">However, he had only one problem.  He did not transcend logic.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">In India, emotions and aesthetic sensibilities are considered above logic.  That is why the poet is greater then the scientist.  And a spiritualist &#8212; a man who has reached the essence of his being &#8212; is considered the most superior.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">That is why Hindus adore the men in saffron.  Saffron is just a symbol of transcendence.  This is where Rusell missed.  In case, Russell had been born in India, he would have been a Mahatma.<br />

<p>That&#8217;s how I would <a href="http://greathindu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/french.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2072" title="french" src="http://greathindu.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/french-288x300.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="300" /></a>describe Intoxicants.</p>
<p>They are necessary to introduce us into powers of illusions.</p>
<p>They are like movies at best.  To be enjoyed once in a while.</p>
<p>Go beyond limits&#8230; and you would be unable to differentiate between reality and fiction.</p>
<p>Intoxicants do one good thing.  They prove us beyond doubt that the world is an illusion.</p>
<p>Just a few chemical changes in the body and the whole world changes.</p>
<p>It again proves the classic Shankara&#8217;s advaita lines:</p>
<p>Jagad Mithyam (The world is fiction).</p>
<p>Brahma Satyam (The whole is the truth).</p>
<p>On a lower scale, of course. When the whole is seen as an illusion, then Truth dawns.</p>

What is the logic behind it?
The logic behind it is simple.  It is nothing but Islamic appeasement.
