Murder in Mumbai
The weather was lovely and so I decided to "get out" of my studio and do some cartoon script writing at a local sidewalk cafe. Israeli coffee houses provide the morning newspapers and it was from these that my wife and I first learned about the attack in Mumbai. When we got back home we watched the news on Israel TV. I noticed that some of the "Breaking News" images being relayed on the TV broadcast carried English language graphics and the logo of IBN... so I googled up the URLs of some Streaming TV sites, found one that offered Indian sites ...selected IBN and we had live, 24 hour coverage by Mumbai reporters and commentators. I remarked to my wife that this new age of communications was like living in the future, and she shushed me. She was chatting on the phone with a close friend and neighbor who comes from India. She'd called the cellphone and the woman answered, in Mumbai, where she was visiting at that very moment.We live in an age of amazing technological wonders and a time of a terrible global threat.

Hi Bones
Interestingly, news here in Canada focuses more on the gore, burning buildings and vehicles and, of course, on the police/militia. Any reference to islam is slurred over, using the catch phrase names such as mujahadine etc.
Part of the continuing dumbing down of Canada(and the U.S.) by our 'media'.
Thank the Lord for internet news and your blog!
u should have seen the way Twitter was abuzz and feeding info to the web in real time. nice cartoon tho
Hi Anonymous,
I think it is ridiculous to use the term Islam. I am not a Muslim but I hate it when the media constantly refers to the terrorists as Islamic. Terrorists are terrorists and religion has nothing to do with it. They may claim to be muslims but that does not make any difference in my opinion. I think the Canadian media is doing a wonderful thing staying away from referring to the terrorists as Islamic terrorists. That is the right way to refer to them. Use their own terror organisation's name and nothing more. It is high time we draw the distinction between terrorists and religion and isolate them and deal with the issue
Aditya.
First of all, to watch streaming live video direct from India via IBNLive.com, go to:
http://www.in.com/videos/watchvideo-cnn-ibn-1626373.html (I'm using a Mac so it opened in Quicktime).
Second - to adita - I believe you have your head in the proverbial sand as it IS Islamists who are perpetrating the most violent of the terrorist attacks all over the world. And they are proud of being Islamic - their verbiage is clear in that the goal is to bring about a fully Islamic world! Oh, perhaps you don't want to admit it because you support them??????
Suzanne,
I am with you 500%. Too many people in the U.S. and Canada and the world have their "head in the proverbial sand" (and other places) when it comes to facing the realities of this world. "Just make it all go away".
Aditya,
Not if terror is perpetrated in the name of Allah and the Islam - moreover, where are the loud voices of muslim believers speaking up against these bastards hijacking their religion (if that's what's happening)? We are so waiting for them to take a firm stand - in the media, even in demonstrations - but alas ...
Aditya,
You are going to be waiting a long time. Many or most Muslims support, or at least condone, "Islamic" terrorism. Remember the Muslim partying after 9/11?
They are most certainly Islamic terrorists! They aren't Catholic! They aren't Christians! They aren't Jews! Get a grip on reality--the Islamic terrorists want to reign in allah-terror around the world.
Bones, I, too, thought of the Live streaming scenes, that 20 years ago would have been impossible. Fulfillment of prophecy, I believe, to have instand world-wide access. I was in prayer for the Israelis held in India. I was so sorry to hear the loss of lives there. I was glad to see India tried to rescue the Israelis, however.
Yaakov, this cartoon hit the nail on the head as far as the current struggle is concerned. The only element missing is the connection with the recent successful expansion of the so-called Somali Pirates. The west assumes that all that ransom money is going to feed poor starving Somali fishermen. Maybe several years ago when Somali piracy first started. But now I think it is being used to fund the expansion of smaller more violent Islamic militant groups. The tactics used by the gunmen to enter Mumbai strongly smack of those used by the Somali Pirates in attacking ships on the high seas. Namely, Mother ship carrying small boats used to transport the gunmen.
Well its quite frequent that the indian government tries to divert the world's attention on issues like Kashmir, Water disptues and Samjhota Expresses killings. The terrorists were not apprently looking like muslims but infact one of the evacuated person told that they were quite fluent in hindi. It does not seems realistic that they travelled from karachi and escaped from all indian security.
Very difficult to find truth but the symptoms tell some facts.
