(AP) - NEW DELHI-Hindu extremists attacked Christians celebrating Christmas in eastern India, ransacking and burning six churches after a dispute over a holiday cultural program that some Hindus believed encouraged conversion, officials said Wednesday...
...India is an overwhelmingly Hindu country where Christians account for a mere 2.4 percent of 1.1 billion people...
The surge is working, right?
Sunni and Shiite militants began blowing up salons roughly two years ago. They killed several stylists and bullied others into putting down their scissors and makeup brushes for good, all in an effort to stamp out what they view as the corrupting spread of Western culture.
Besides beauty salons, militants have also targeted liquor stores, barber shops and Christian churches.
We's winnin' that war over there, right?
You know, the one thing that my immigrant Muslim neighbor and I agree that we both really love about America is that you can choose to practice your religion or not. We don't proselytize , but we are both happy to experience the joy of giving when our different religions tell us it's the customary time to do that. The whole taarof thing is still a bit confusing to me, but I figure we can learn from each other.
