On the Mumbai massacre of 26-28.11.2008

Of some 180 people killed, it is worth noting that more than 25 were Indian muslims, what I have tried to show.TajMahal hotel, Mumbai in the background where some killings took place, Jews at the left bottom corner – among other victims.

Title comes from a cult french movie by Jean-Jacques Beneix - La Lune dans le caniveau [Gerard Depardiu, Nastassja Kinski]
