Here is the second most emailed article of the New York times, and something that speaks to the culture of Mumbai. ALthough faizan probably wont like this email as much, it points out Why the terrorists attacked mumbai specifically... By the way, looks like its the ISI behind the attacks, something that as I pointed out was the first hunch of many indians fimilar with the indo pak conflict.

Pakistan threatens to move 100,000 troops to India-Pakistan border... This could be the beginning to something very ugly...

I read that one earlier today too. He wrote a great book about Mumbai called 'Maximum City' which is in line with the stuff he wrote about in the article.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081130/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_muslims_india_shootings This is an interesting quick little read too. One part especially poignant to me

Saudi Arabia said in a statement carried earlier this week by the Saudi Press Agency that it "strongly condemns and denounces this criminal act." An editorial Friday in Saudi's English-language Arab News said that "no civilized person ... can be anything but revolted and sickened by the terrorist attacks in Mumbai."

However, Jonathan Fighel, an Israeli counterterrorism expert, said Saudi organizations have been funneling money to Muslim militants in Kashmir.

"This demonstrates exactly the double game and, I would say, the hypocrisy of the Saudi regime," said Fighel of the Israel-based International Institute for Counter-Terrorism.

Throughout the Muslim world, the attacks set off soul-searching.
