Quote : | " Letter threatens to blow up Taj Mahal
By BISWAJEET BANERJEE, Associated Press WriterFri Aug 18, 8:15 AM ET
Police in northern India have heightened security around the Taj Mahal after receiving a letter threatening to blow up the monument, officials said Friday.
Sandbag bunkers have been set up outside the towering entrance gates leading to the 17th century monument and soldiers belonging to an anti-terrorist squad have been posted on 24-hour duty, said Ashok Kumar, a senior government official in Uttar Pradesh state where the Taj Mahal is located.
Police were investigating a handwritten letter purportedly sent by an al-Qaida supporter, saying the terrorist group planned to carry out blasts at the Taj Mahal.
Police were skeptical about the letter, but had begun investigations, Kumar said Friday.
"Police are verifying the source of the letter," he said. "The letter could be false but we cannot afford to be complacent. We are not taking any chances and have enhanced security at the Taj."
"The letter, signed by someone calling himself Mohammed Mirza and claiming to be associated with the al-Qaida, was received at the office of the superintendent of police in Agra on Thursday," Kumar said.
"The letter said the al-Qaida had plans to carry out blasts at the Taj Mahal and around busy markets of Agra," he said.
Meanwhile, as part of the new security drill, tourists have been warned not to carry any liquids, including bottles of mineral water, to the fabled white marble structure, located in the city of Agra, 130 milesfrom the Indian capital, New Delhi.
At least 100 additional paramilitary soldiers armed with automatic weapons have been posted at strategic points on the outer periphery of the Taj Mahal complex, said a top police officer.
Police have also begun work on a dossier of residents living within 500 meters (yards) radius of the monument, said Dipesh Juneja, superintendent of police in Agra. "This will help the police spot any new entrants or visitors to the area," Juneja said over telephone.
As part of special security arrangements for the monument, the state government has asked the federal civil aviation authorities and India's air force to declare a no-fly zone over a four 2.5-mile radius around the Taj Mahal, said N. C. Bajpei, Uttar Pradesh's topmost official.
The majestic domed monument was built by the Mogul Emperor Shah Jehan between 1632 and 1654 for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It houses their graves and a mosque, as well as several other graves of lesser Mogul royalty.
Nearly 2.5 million tourists visited the Taj Mahal last year, according to official estimates." |

NO, READING IS STILL KEY, YOU BUSH COCK-SUCKER.
I wasn't talking about Islam's image, I was talking about the image and position of Muslims in India.
From what I know from my Indian friends, Muslims face some troubles, especially when they go for renewal of passports, getting of visas, and other government affairs and documents. And somewhat with the police too.
And with a letter like that, that's only going to make it worse. (phone-tapping, surveilance, spying, etc)8/19/2006 4:56:04 PM |

With a population of over a billion, it doesn't matter if India has more muslims than pakistan. They will still be a small minority.

it IS going to get worse for muslims...and it should .... as long as muslims continue to blow themselves up along with countless inoocents...they should be spied on/wiretapped/surveyed

Oh shit, you found me out, what am I going to do now?
Are you my fucking secretary or my fucking wife that you know who my friends are, and who aren't? Fucking idiot.
Yes, I have Indian friends, American friends, British friends, a Serbian friend, and more. Oh wait, aren't these people supposed to be my enemies??
I am not a fucking liar, OK. For example, I DON'T have a Jewish friend or an Israeli friend, as much as would like to have one.

Attention all. See trikk311's post above. That is not what it said before the edit. In fact, it said something the complete opposite:
Quote : | "Of course it was made up, I made that clear.
My point is that anybody can make up stories like 0EPII1 and say they are true." |
So, trikk311 is a COMPLETE FUCKING LIAR, and should never be listened to again in the Soap Box.
