This was an old letter to NY times, in response to an article on Diwali where the terrorsit attack was shamelessly described as : "region's dangerous
divisions,"

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->RE: “Festival of Lights, Parade of Sweets” By JULIA
MOSKIN (11/02/05).

Dear Editor:
The author’s parenthetic remark, quoted here, was insulting to all civilized people who live and die in a world plagued by terrorism.

“(Crowds of Diwali shoppers were targets of terrorist bombs that killed about 60 people in New Delhi on Saturday, a reminder of the region's dangerous divisions, even at a time of religious unity in a sweet ritual.)”

Categorizing a heinous, terrorist act as “a reminder of the region's dangerous divisions” Is offensive and ignores the fact that holiday shoppers in India are just like you and me.

As we approach our traditional, American, holiday, shopping season, we should not trivialize terrorism perpetrated abroad as “a reminder of the region's dangerous divisions”, because those responsible for murdering these holiday shoppers are the same brand of hate-filled criminals that caused the horrible murders of 9/11/01.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
