Noted CNN "Expert" Blames Mumbai Attacks Solely on US Foreign Policy....

Not once does Deepak Chopra even mention Islam, or as the MSM  would call it, "radical" Islam, as a motivation used by the Muslims who carried out the massacre.....

If the Mumbai terror assault seemed exceptional, and shocking in its targets, it was clear from the Thanksgiving Day reports that we weren't going to be deprived of the familiar, either. Namely, ruminations, hints, charges of American culpability that regularly accompany catastrophes of this kind.

Soon enough, there was Deepak Chopra, healer, New Age philosopher and digestion guru, advocate of aromatherapy and regular enemas, holding forth on CNN on the meaning of the attacks.

....In his CNN interview, he was no less clear. What happened in Mumbai, he told the interviewer, was a product of the U.S. war on terrorism, that "our policies, our foreign policies" had alienated the Muslim population, that we had "gone after the wrong people" and inflamed moderates. And "that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay."

All this was a bit too much, evidently, for CNN interviewer Jonathan Mann, who interrupted to note that there were other things going on -- matters like the ongoing bitter Pakistan-India struggle over Kashmir -- which had caused so much terror and so much violence. "That's not Washington's fault," he pointed out.

Given an argument, the guest, ever a conciliator, agreed: The Mumbai catastrophe was not Washington's fault, it was everybody's fault. Which didn't prevent Dr. Chopra from returning soon to his central theme -- the grave offense posed to Muslims by the United States' war on terror, a point accompanied by consistent emphatic reminders that Muslims are the world's fastest growing population -- 25% of the globe's inhabitants -- and that the U.S. had better heed that fact.In Dr. Chopra's moral universe, numbers are apparently central. It's tempting to imagine his view of offenses against a much smaller sliver of the world's inhabitants -- not so offensive, perhaps?

Nowhere in this citation of the root causes of Muslim terrorism was there any mention of Islamic fundamentalism -- the religious fanaticism that has sent fevered mobs rioting, burning and killing over alleged slights to the Quran or the prophet. Not to mention the countless others enlisted to blow themselves and others up in the name of God.

As predicted, right on cue. The media backflips to blame everyone except the actually murderous Muslims.

Deepok Chopra can kiss my fat one, his fat one, and all the fat ones of his past lives.

This self-deluded idiot has made a multi-million dollar life right here in the U.S. living off the fat of the insecure, the desperate, the space cadets, the tamborine bangers, the incense burners, the crystal wearers, and the rich who think that anything Eastern is inherently enlightened. Only in America.

Then he goes and pisses on it. If the U.S. is so bad, why doesn't he live by his beliefs and get the hell out instead of jaw-jacking with CNN and larry King every other day. I wonder how that affects his karma?

Idiot.

It's mind boggling how naive people can be. Or, do they have another agenda? American hating traitors..

"that Muslims are the world's fastest growing population -- 25% of the globe's inhabitants -- and that the U.S. had better heed that fact."

Sounds like a threat, dhimmi up or else.

"Muslims are the world's fastest growing population"

That's only half of the story. Muslims are also the highest population of people leaving their religion. So, the net effect is that Islam is not the fastest growing religion at all. It's actually Mormonism.

What happened in Mumbai, he told the interviewer, was a product of the U.S. war on terrorism, that "our policies, our foreign policies"
The 100 hundreds Millions kill in India by the monnslims(the religion of peace) was a direct fault of U.S policies or the wonderfull Shitty coran ?

He is quite right that the Muslims are in every society not ruled by Muslims the poorest segment of the population, also the least educated.
That has nothing to do with the society and everything to do with the Muslims. In the UK 66% of Indian(read Hindu) girls get 5 good passes on their school leaving exam compared to 34% the Pakistani/Bangladeshi girls. With the boys the ration is 54% vs. 22%. As a result the unemployment rate is three time that of Christians, 68% of Bangladeshi families are poor. The only instances where they beat Christians and Hindus in the the size of their families - average 3.8 - smoking - 44% vs. 27% and incarceration for crime, five times the rate in percentage of population. These figures all come from the official UK dept. of statistics, the government compiles them and is the first to see them. For the government to encourage Muslim immigration after seeing these figures can only lead me to suspect they have an evil plan to destroy the country.

Well, since having Jews in India is a bit out of place blaming Mumbai on the US is only logical for these idiots.

By the way, since when is this clown considered an expert on this sort of thing? Oh yeah-CNN deemed him to be and they are sooooo credible.

Pakistan is a failed nation (http://www.indohistory.com/history_of_pakistan.html) and India has got all rights to protect its soverignity by launching a counter attack on Pakistan. It is very clear from Zardari´s statement that Pakistan is not going to take any actions on the home grown terrorists. All my sympathies for Zardari and the civilian governement in Pakistan. I understand the whip is not in their hands. Its the military of Pakistan which determines the policies and so it leaves India with no choice but to launch a counter attack and clear the Pakistani soil with anti-India activities.
