2009] WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN MUMBAI? 259<br />

spirit is a genocidal decree. Moreover, (as Bostom has also noted), 40 even<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e its preamble, <strong>the</strong> Hamas document opens by quoting <strong>the</strong> most sacred<br />

<strong>of</strong> all Islamic texts, 41 <strong>the</strong> Koran:<br />

You [Muslims] are <strong>the</strong> best nation that has been brought out <strong>for</strong> mankind.<br />

You command good and <strong>for</strong>bid evil and believe in Allah. If only <strong>the</strong><br />

people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Book [i.e., Jews and Christians] had believed, it would have<br />

been well <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m believe, but most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m are iniquitous.<br />

They will never be able to do you serious harm, <strong>the</strong>y will only be an<br />

annoyance. If <strong>the</strong>y fight you, <strong>the</strong>y will turn <strong>the</strong>ir backs and flee, and will<br />

not be succored. Humiliation is <strong>the</strong>ir lot wherever <strong>the</strong>y may be, except<br />

where <strong>the</strong>y are saved from it by a bond with Allah or by a bond with<br />

men. They incurred upon <strong>the</strong>mselves Allah’s wrath, and wretchedness is<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir lot, because <strong>the</strong>y denied Allah’s signs and wrongfully killed <strong>the</strong><br />

prophets, and because <strong>the</strong>y disobeyed and transgressed. (3:110-112). 42<br />

Only within <strong>the</strong> context <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above in<strong>for</strong>mation can one fully appreciate<br />

Right Side News’ exclusive fourth and final interview <strong>of</strong> Atlas, by this<br />

author, an investigative reporter. I have queried Atlas on her tireless ef<strong>for</strong>ts<br />

to expose <strong>the</strong> Muslim wars within <strong>the</strong> U.S. and Western world—on free<br />

speech, human rights <strong>of</strong> women, and non-Muslims generally [<strong>the</strong> series<br />

began Feb. 16, 2009]. 43 In this last segment, I concentrate on <strong>the</strong> November<br />

28, 2008 Islamic terror attacks in Mumbai, which consolidated in all<br />

respects every front in <strong>the</strong> global Islamic jihad, through its special focus on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Jewish people.<br />
