Are they really Muslims?

This is something I posted about a year ago (2/19/2007) on a different website, but unfortunately, it still stands true ...

"The train, running from Delhi to Lahore in Pakistan, was hit by two blasts at about midnight (1830 GMT Sunday) near Panipat, 80km (50 miles) from Delhi."

"It is thought three-quarters of the 750 people on the train were Pakistanis, as were most of the dead."

"But the fact that so many of the dead on the train were Pakistani Muslims may indicate that the devices were intended for a different target, or exploded prematurely, she says."

"The reaction from both governments suggests the prime suspects might be groups such as Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad..."

This train service was long awaited by Pakistanis and Indians as a sign of mutual cooperation, understanding etc. between the two countries.

So the mainstream media like always is going to put the blame on some "Islamic militant group" and most of us would probably buy that, nod our heads in disgust and move along - but what I REALLY want to know is, are they really a bunch of religious, motha-fuckin bastards who think blowing these children, women and men up would get them closer to God? Or the culrpits are purely politicaly motivated whose interests are better served by chaos than peace? And if so, who are they?

I know we are generally fan of Occam's razor but I just don't think this is one of those times ...
