Muslim terrorism, Indian liberalism

Concerning the terrorist attack in New Dehli, an Indian living in the West, who has often shared his thoughts with VFR, writes:

India is currently run by a Left-Liberal government which is composed primarily of the true ideological heirs of Gandhi and Nehru. If India was run by a Hindu Nationalist Government, the first response of the press would have been to say that the nature of the Government caused it. As this cannot be said now, I wonder what the “cause” will be this time.

While close to 60 people were blown away in broad daylight while they were shopping for the festival of Diwali (Diwali for Hindus is roughly equivalent to Christmas for Christians), the Indian Government is at this moment in negotiations with the Pakistani Government to open the border with Pakistan on humanitarian grounds.

If Liberalism isn’t insane, I don’t know what is. But this proves what I have been saying all along—Liberal insanity isn’t the sole preserve of White westerners.
