let the fool burn by vishal on 20 Mar 2008

These embassy officials don't care about any indian. But show them a muslim indian and hey turn all weepy eyed. What is the need to butt into all this ? Let spain deal with the son of a biatch the way they deem fit. Get out of there and let these jehadis roast. It is because of these stupid policy that many in the west think India is a middle eastern country inspite of it being a 82 percent hindu majority country.
