... What you are not aware of is that I paid a visit to India a few months after the Staines murder and it was clearly indicated by the courts that Mr. Staines and his two sons were burnt alive by fanatical thugs because he was suspected of being a Christian missionary. However, let us say that the utterly vile and low comments you made about Mr. Staines is true, then why is that the so called "High caste Hindu" men who rape at will the so called "low caste Hindu" women and a Hindu priest who kidnapped and raped a five year-old girl was also not meted out the same punishment? Was Mr. Staines and his sons murdered because they were white and Christian??.... In this age of global and Internet communication it is very difficult for any country to hide their dirty laundry or sweep the dirt under the carpet for long. I am an evangelical Christian and I am proud of my Judeo-Christian background and traditions and will always stand up for my Jewish and Christian brethren no matter which part of the world they are from. We welcome all rational and civilized individuals of any faith and race to join us in our fight against Islamic extremism...
