What Attacks in Mumbai Mean

Mumbai (Bombay) is the financial capital of India. Like San Francisco, Barcelona, and other coastal cities, it welcomes cultural diversity.

Possibly hundreds of innocent visitors were killed or injured in this month's terrorist attack. Why did this happen? Who was the target of this terror? America? England? India? The West? The East?

The answer is, "YES".

To understand the goals of Islamic Extremists, one has to understand how the religious history and writings of Islam have been distorted by extremists to make all of the non-moslim world a target.

I recommned these sources (downloadable lectures in MP3 format), which every American should listen to, in order to understand what the attacks in Mumbai mean.
