The massacre in Mumbai, India in November 2008 left 200 dead, hundreds injured and the carnage in the name of Islam went on for almost three days.

I have always believed that jihadists had no option off the table and whatever means it took to advance the principles of Islam would be, at some time used.
Blasting away at your targets, as the Mumbai jihadists did is an effective, although messy way of eliminating all those "enemies of Islam" standing in your way.
Can it happen here? Yes it can.
