Harshal and Abhijit

I am sorry if i offended sentiments with my mail.

My error was in hitting the reply all button.

But everytime people attack citizens of teh middle east like they are the 
devil incarnate it rubs me the wrong way.


There are nut cases in teh middle east in exactly the same proportion as 
anywhere else in teh world. Yes including India.

All i did was point out that the people of Palestimne are also subjected to 
fairly rude treatment and the obvious reaction is a rebellion.

All that happens is that there is a sea change in teh way events are 
reported - blame it on teh media.

The middle east has given us the term Assasin from "hashishin" where people 
in a province of Syria were trained to kill the "enemy" Christians of the 
Crusades.

Its is a battle as old as time teh prize Jerusalem. The difference of course 
is that there is a third force IN addition to Islam and Christianity - 
Zionism, and the war surfaces when the garb of diplomacy drops...

Finally the slamming of a plane into the target was not a Middle eastern 
first, the Japanese Kamikaze pilots did that during the second world war - 
repeatedly.
