#1 P.S. Jihad is now transalated to " dead muslim. "

We can work with this. A Rantburg dictionary?

Jihad -- a dead Muslim radical
Fatwa -- a greeting from the "Religion of Peace"
martyr -- teenage rebel, Arab-style
Urat -- a Murat before it takes its morning meds
Turk, Urat variety -- skitzo, EU wannabe / Arab wannabe

#4 Mojo, that's the point:
Hindus believe the site to be the birthplace of their supreme god, Rama, and in 1992 a frenzied mob of Hindu worshippers tore down the famous Babri Mosque that was built there in 1528 after an Islamic invasion. The destruction of the 400-year-old mosque was followed immediately by Muslim-Hindu riots that killed more than 2,000 people. Hundreds more have died over the past decade in clashes linked to the Ayodhya dispute, with Muslims determined to rebuild their mosque and Hindus insistent that ancient ruins of a temple to Rama lie just below ground. The release of the Indian government's final archeological report on Ayodhya -- just hours before yesterday's bombing -- was favourable to Hindu claims and is widely believed to have been the trigger for the attack, which Indian police have blamed on Muslim extremists.

The Hindu's want to rebuild their temple and the Muslims want to rebuild the mosque which was torn down in 1992. Think rivers of blood.

#5 Does this place have any connection to the prophet, like did he slay Rama?

#6 This could possibly work to the advantage of the United States. The coming altercation between muslim Pakistan and Hindu India could possible tie up tens of thousands of radical jihadinuts, keeping them from interfering in Afghanistan.

#7 Old Patriot, that's superb thinking! Let's contribute towards rebuilding the temple.

#8 Sadly, OP, I think there's such a surplus of jihadinuts that they won't even notice. The madrassas appear to live by the motto of "kill all you want -- we'll just make more!"

Only for the ten minutes or so it takes the nuke tipped missiles to go from Point A to Point B. Then India loses a small percentage of it's overpopulation and Pakistan becomes a parking lot.

#10 Maybe the Muslims and and Hindus can set up a joint venture and build a common temple, like a zero-lotline model, or maybe a timeshare.

*alarm beeps*

Oops, gotta run and take my meds....
