India’s Invisible Jihad
The killings at the church in India began soon after mid-morning mass, carried out by two young men armed with knives who had mingled among the worshippers. In dozens of other places around the world today, the script has been much the same: violent attacks carried out by terrorists in the name of God and his self-proclaimed regent on earth, the so-called Caliph of the Islamic State. Yet, there is one important caveat to the aforementioned Indian church attack; this attack took place, not in the 21st Century, but in March 1764, at the Portuguese colonial fort of Darmpatnam, on the Malabar Coast.
Like the U.S. special forces who killed Osama bin Laden, the guards at the Darmpatnam church wanted to erase the killers from history. A contemporary account records:

The consequences seem too disproportionate to any plausible objective to be chosen by any but the insane.
Those who take comfort in that thesis should consider a largely-unreported, but deeply-instructive, recent incident. Yasin Bhatkal, the founder of an Indian jihadist group named the “Indian Mujahideen,” was recently arrested for coordinating a series of terrorist attacks between 2007 and 2013. According to court documents, Yasin confessed that on June 1, 2013, he had instructed his Pakistan-based associate Riyaz Bhatkal “to look for one nuclear bomb” to destroy the heart of Surat, a city of 4.5 million and the lifeblood of India’s diamond industry.
Riyaz responded confidently: “Anything can be arranged in Pakistan.”
While there is no reason to believe that this small jihadist group has co
