This year, the beginning of Advent has been overshadowed by the horrendous acts of violence perpetrated by terrorists in India.  Tragically, when the dust settles, in all probability these attacks will prove to be religiously motivated.  Islamic fundamentalists hate Christians and Muslims.  Hindu fundamentalists hate Muslims and Christians. During times like the Crusades, you could have just as easily pointed the finger at Christians.  One of the more tragic stories to come out of Mumbai is the execution of a Jewish Rabbi and his family.  They were targeted for one reason – they were Jewish.
