Being paid to kill Christians

I’ve been criticized before for being so ignorant of the conflict in India, of not realizing that the Hindus murdering Christians are, in fact, themselves the victims. Sure, on the whole Hindus have been an afflicted people. But Hindu extremists? They’re bringing the heat on themselves. For instance this report from The Telegraph, via the Crunchy Con:

Extremist Hindu groups offered money, food and alcohol to mobs to kill Christians and destroy their homes, according to Christian aid workers in the eastern state of Orissa.

The allegations follow the British Government’s refusal to prevent members of two radical groups linked to the worst antiChristian violence in India since Partition entering Britain.

The US-based head of a Christian organisation that runs several orphanages in Orissa - one of India’s poorest regions - claims that Christian leaders are being targeted by Hindu militants and carry a price on their heads. “The going price to kill a pastor is $250 (£170),“ Faiz Rahman, the chairman of Good News India, said.

A spokesman for the All-India Christian Council said: “People are being offered rewards to kill, and to destroy churches and Christian properties. They are being offered foreign liquor, chicken, mutton and weapons. They are given petrol and kerosene.“

In Khandamal Distric in Orissa, Christians are being ethnically cleansed right now after 100s of them are killed, 400 or so homes and 130 churches were destroyed and around 40,000 people have ended up in refugee camps. For more information one could access http://www.fiacona.org

In the meantime, one Ms. Sonal Shah who has been a national coordinator of this radical group’s whose chapters operate here in the US (Vishwa Hindu Parishad America)is a member of the Obbam’s transition team. You may google Sonal Shah and get a lot of information. It is sad that these Hindu sympathizers of extremists in India are thriving in US and inching ever closer to the power.

They probably just floated in unnoticed along with the Palestinian sympathizers.

Emanuel’s Record on Israel Is More Dovish Than the Headlines Suggest
By Nathan Guttman

...He is pro-Israel and pro-peace,” said Uri Savir, one of the chief negotiators of the Oslo peace accords… Emanuel has, on various occasions, recounted his joy at participating in the signing of the Oslo agreements, which he helped organize on the lawn of the White House…

Oslo, that worked out pretty good. “No more blood…“ I remember that.

And ‘pro-Israel, pro-peace, where have I heard that lately…?
