Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

A common enemy; a common struggle: Lest we forget (because sometimes we do), tiny Israel isn’t the only democracy that makes the Islamo-loonies go ballistic (literally): the world’s largest democracy—India—is also a constant focus of attackers. Today, Islamic supremacists set off some bombs in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, killing at least 29 (so far).

By coincidence, Ron Banerjee, of the Hindu Conference of Canada, gave vent to Indian frustration in a letter in today’s National Post:

Re: Sri Lanka's 'Black July' Riots, 25 Years Later, editorial, July 24.

The National Post correctly states that many Canadians have forgotten Sri Lanka's oppression of its (mostly) Hindu Tamil minority, thanks to the brutality of the Tigers. But an unanswered question remains: What exactly were democracies like Canada doing while this oppression was going on?

Today, Hindu minorities are being raped and slaughtered by the thousands by Islamic dictatorships in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Kashmir. What are Western democracies doing to halt this oppression?

Hindu minorities will have no option but to commence armed struggle against their oppressors if the West continues its hypocrisy and callous indifference.
