Please note that Marshall has now stooped down to the level of spreading the malicious lie that I have justified the violence against Christians. This is how this hate-filled political activism is usually carried out. Please note that he is also once again denying that the violence was triggered by the killing of a Hindu swami, the one-sided bias that I had pointed out before. For the record, here is what I said about the violence in Orissa: http://www.goanet.org/post.php?name=News&list=goanet&info=2008-November/author&post_id=169918 QUOTE The recent riots were triggered by the killing of a Hindu swami who was involved in the conversion and reconversion activity with support from VHP. The killing was allegedly done by Maoists with the assistance of local youth who happened to be converted Christians, and with alleged involvement of an MP who also happened to be a converted Christian. The riots led to the death of between 50 - 100 people, majority of whom happened to be Christian. There was massive destruction of property and displacement of people, the toll being overwhelmingly greater on the Christian Pannas and Khands than on Hindu Khands. Violence appears to have been committed against some Christian religious men and women. Some Hindu leaders were killed subsequently by Maoists or someone else. UNQUOTE Cheers, Santosh
