SiliconValley Posted November 29, 2008 Not really a topic to discuss here but cannot really hold back. I just want to take a moment to pray for the lost lives in the Terrorist attack on Mumbai where more than 200 people have died and nearly 300 injured. Taj, an Indian landmark, has been destroyed nearly. People from India, America, Australia, Canada, Japan, Israel, France and several other countries have lost lives. My childhood friend, his wife and two daughters are among the ones killed. I hope we see a better day after this gruesome night. Peace to all ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thelerner Posted November 29, 2008 _/\_ In the face of cruelty and insanity, we must be reminded not to become what we hate. The only sane response is to show kindness and help others. All actions cause ripples. Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwai Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) SV, My condolences on your loss. This is a very difficult time in India, let's hope that they will get to the bottom of this thing. This little Upanishadic prayer asks that everyone everywhere be at peace and happy.

Starjumper Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Hardcore Muslims intend to take over the world, and they intend to do it by force. It requires drawing a line in the sand and using force to try to halt it. I'm sorry about your friend and his family, SV. I think a discussion about it can fit on this forum because Taoist are anti-fundamentalists, or at least I am, and I'm Taoist.

SiliconValley Posted November 30, 2008 Thank you all!! The case of the Jewish Rabbi and his wife was particularly heart wrenching. They were killed and their son who turns two today was rescued. What a birthday gift....becoming an orphan ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
