Muslims in Mumbai worry . . .

"Reforming Islam is something only Muslims can do. But they show very little sign of being interested in doing it, and the rest of us are inclined to accept that. Spread a rumor that a Quran got flushed down the can at Gitmo, and there'll be rioting throughout the Muslim world. Publish some dull cartoons in a minor Danish newspaper, and there'll be protests around the planet. Slaughter the young pregnant wife of a rabbi [and the rabbi] in Mumbai in the name of Allah, and that's just business as usual. And, if it is somehow 'understandable' that for the first time in history it's no longer safe for a Jew to live in India, then we are greasing the skids for a very slippery slope. Muslims, the AP headline informs us, 'worry about image.' Not nearly enough!"
