Have you head the latest? We no longer have religious extremist, we have criminal thugs.
So now we deny one religion and associate bombers etc with Hinduism, is that right, is this not a sin? Why should Thugees, followers of Kâli be associated with this modern campaign?
...or am I taking this new misguided government move too much to heart?

Yes.
I love the phrase you've used 'Thugees', sounds like a good name for a band :-)

Thugees they went around strangling travelers and stealing their money/goods. They where very active in north India. We hang 1000s of them, (who said there is no justice?) They are no more, but Kâli is still about. Thug comes from Thugee, a Hindu cult devoted to Kâli, and a source of embarrassment for both Indians and Hindus.
So hug a Thugee if you must, but never in a secluded place!
And Vandals came from Eastern Europe and Goths came from a bit closer. Loads of 'nasty' people names were actually cults, tribes or other groups biggrin

Football hooligans were named after one particularly large irish family who caused trouble at football. Now that can't be far either.
It seems to me that this is 'political correctness gone mad' No not the govenment calling terrorists criminals rather than religious extremists. But the tracing the origins of words back therough history so that some kind of insult can be manufactured to throw back at the government.
It just seems like a good idea to me. WE call terrorists what they are. Criminals murders. You do not add a label of religon as this gives them some kind of legitimase. Most muslims are as distanced from the bombers as I am.
