Reports out of India reveal that many victims of last month's Muslim terror attack in Mumbai, India were sexually mutilated and humiliated by their captors:

Foreign nationals at the Taj were particular targets of barbaric terrorists who first forced some of the guests to strip, then killed them.

Disturbing photographs made available to this newspapers by police sources indicate that several of the guests at the Taj Mahal Hotel during the siege November 26 were sexually humiliated by the terrorists and then shot dead.

Police sources confirm that even as the terrorists were engaged in a fierce combat with NSG commandos, they were humiliating their hostages before ending their terrifying ordeal.

Foreign guests were their particular target. Eight of the 31 killed at the Taj were foreign nationals.

Photographs taken by a police forensic team after the hotel was sanitised yield a gruesome picture of some of the guests in the nude.

These bodies were found away from the hotel's swimming pool which makes it clear that they were not those guests who were taken hostage from the poolside.

"Even the Rabbi and his wife at Nariman House were sexually assaulted and their genitalia mutilated," said a senior officer of the investigating team, not wishing to be quoted.

The mainstream media isn't touching this story. Why? The fact that it has broken during that no-man's land between Christmas & New Year's? Are they afraid of stirring up anti-Muslim sentiment? Or are these facts just too horrible to contemplate?

Then again, few in the West came to their senses after 9/11, or Beslan. So much easier and more fun to busy oneself with worship of Teleprompter Jesus, or your new Wii.

The answer to the question "When will the West wake up?" is, sadly, never.

We will die in our sleep.
