(1) The elephant excruciatingly killed in Kerala, will be forgotten soon. Already voices against her fate r fading, given most likely Matrubhumis' release of the names of alleged perpetrators, Kareem& Wilson. It happens when our outrage is subject to identity of perpetrators
(2) Before we forget her, I want to name her - "Aditi": mother of gods, as she has been the cause of outrage an attempt at getting at the culprits, or "Achala": one who remained steady and not go berserk in spite of what was done to her. I hope both are acceptable in Malaylam.
(3) request everyone to refer to tag her as #Aditi (preferable as more proactive) or #Achala (perhaps more acceotable for those who feel we must glorify one way tolerance of everything thrown at us).

@gupta_skanda If one looks at jihadi side historical accounts of what they did on target non-Muslim popns, one thing stands out clearly: the obsessive pursuit of any sadism that is thought of by the jihadi as unbearably painful/agonizing for the non-Muslim.
@gupta_skanda sadism in jihadi history is completely indiscriminate, unimaginably torturous, designed to cause maximum possible pain/agony - where simple killing is not enough, the killing must be drawn out, twisted, and psychologically traumatic -often with a keen eye for visual effect.
@gupta_skanda I feel more and more animals, especially if they are cherished by the kafer - will be targeted: not just for killing but killing in a most agonizing way, with gory visual effect. Its a kind of theatre being played out - hoping it will work like in the past as the texts claim.

No! No! This not a "glorification of violence"! Apparently he himself acknowledged that without the "protection" of the power of Charles Martel - he wdnt hv succeeded. Physically destroying pre-Christian shrines was his style. His victims in Frisia cut him down though.
Christian version paints his executioners as "robbers" looking for "gold", but Frisian resistance to Carolingian-Church war on "pagans", had been staunch - and a fitting reprisal to the violence that early evangelist militants like Boniface unleashed on pre-Christian sites.
The literature of the era show how violent military campaigns and protection was key to church's expansion in northern Europe. Willibrord, Boniface, Sturmi, Liudger, and Willehad, all r praised in the literature of the era for having destroyed the hated objects of "pagan" worship

actually dear "whitewash" Quint: forest official out to absolve human guilt, says "The animal had sustained injuries because of explosives in its mouth" how do you get explosive inside an elephants mouth? explosive are cultivated in forests as food crop by elephants themselves?
"an act done by some people living in the forest fringes to keep the animals away from his or her cultivated land. But this was not done intentionally to kill a pregnant elephant" really? when u plan to put such explosives in a way that the animal will eat - u didnt plan to kill?
forest official simply can't confirm if it was "pineapple" and "quint" and its journo claims "it wasnt a pineapple". "forest official" speculates "it was not the intention" -without providing the proof as he doesnt even know who did it - "quint" claims "it was not the intention".
