<< Such as that statement that he was killed because he was Jewish, if he was a Jew at all. >> If you find out that Pearl was part Jewish, do you intend to kick dirt onto his grave, or shout insults towards his unborn son? Are we now going to have months of posts, from the "three blind mice", about Pearl's Jewishness? Good grief, what a waste.

What logical basis is there for skepticism? Other than bias. It makes radical Islmamists look bad so you'd prefer it not be true so you are "skeptical".

Bad PR on India you won't hear from their brand new Jewish friends..... February 25, 2002 New spate of attacks targets Christians By Julian West THE WASHINGTON TIMES NEW DELHI - Violence against India's Christian minority has surged this year, with reports of at least one attack each week in what church leaders are calling a "reign of terror" spreading throughout the country. In the most recent incident, about 70 men wearing saffron headbands - an emblem of the Hindu nationalists - attacked a church near Mysore, in South India, where children were attending a catechism class. The attack last week seriously wounded about 20 people. In other incidents this month: Two church workers and a teen-age boy were shot at while praying, and the boy was injured. Two Christian missionaries were beaten with iron rods while bicycling home. *A Christian cemetery in Port Blair on the Andaman Islands was vandalized. Four of the attacks were in Uttar Pradesh, the North Indian state where counting in local government elections ends today and where the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fared poorly. Much of the violence against Christians has taken place in states ruled by the BJP, but church leaders say that last year the number of incidents in states like Karnataka, which has a Congress party government, has risen alarmingly. In the latest and most violent incident in the state, an angry mob wearing saffron headbands, carrying placards and shouting anti-Christian slogans descended on the Holy Family church in Hinkal, a suburb of Mysore, just after Mass last Sunday. "The children were crying," said Father William, who was protected by his parishioners. "They could see their parents being beaten up, from the windows." About 20 people were later taken to the hospital. Describing the incident as unprecedented in a city whose roughly 30,000 Christians have previously had good relations with their Hindu neighbours, Father Nerona, a member of the Diocesan Council, said that he thought the attack had been provoked by a misunderstanding over a round of Christmas carols.
