one Hindu for suspected involvement in the killing of a Moslem man who was attacked with a knife on a running train near the Indian capital.

The arrested man told news hounds late Saturday that he was drunk when he attacked four men on the train Friday after he was told by his friends that they were "beef-eaters." Eating beef is taboo for many Hindus.

Police said another three Moslems were maimed in the attack by about 20 Hindus.

The Moslems were travelling back to their village in Haryana after shopping in New Delhi ahead of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.

Police officer Kamal Deep Goyal said an altercation over seat space between the two groups triggered the attack.

"They started fighting over seats in the compartment. Then there are also allegations that some words which hurt religious sentiments were said after which things got out of hand," said Goyal.

Attacks on minority Moslems by Hindu fringe groups have been on the rise, apparently emboldened since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government came to power in 2014.

#5  I wouldn't quite say it's in error,
Just backwards. Graffiti! The Mirror.
The murderous lady
They blame it on? Katie,
Reflecting a flare-up of terror!

Random (just a "hey, that can't be a word" moment... on a Sunday; no offense intended to Chitle, church, or deity)...

Forgive us, for we have been frivolous.
O Lord of us vermin, deliver us,
We beg Thee contritely
While squirming politely,
From Heaven's detritivorivorous.

#4  Meanwhile, in the UK...

"I wonder how many they'll send us?"
Collision! The mess was tremendous.
Twas cold and anomic...
Now, "New! More Islamic!"
Is cleansing Newcastle on Indus.

#1  Deplorable! I cannot find terms strong enough to condemn that dastardly act! How dare they treat Muslims the way Muslims treat everybody else!
