Attack on Shias in Pakistan

[A1Kaid]

There are foreigners trying to exploit Pakistan's sectarian differences, and use these kinds of unfortunate events to peddle their agenda and create further tension.

Pakistan has to protect all minorities, the protection of minorities is of utmost importance. These radical groups should be arrested and their networks terminated.

These shias seem helpless. It is just a sustained one sided brutality. Until they take it sitting down, they would never be let to live in peace.

Okay, as our Indian friend says!

RIP to the dead.I think it's a shame for Pakistan's government for not even trying to stop these Salafi extremists,Shias in Pakistan are really helpless.

Don't forget that the bus was gong to Gilgit. India claims Gilgit-Baltistan as disputed territory and part of Kashmir. Gilgit-Baltistan is part of Pakistan and has a border with Afghanistan. India is after this territory because they so badly want a border with Afghanistan.

The locals would not know where the bus would go and who is on the bus. This was a planned attack by a foreign intelligence agency. Who would benefit from making the locals of Gilgit-Baltistan angry? india not Pakistan.

Militants would not know when the bus would arrive and through what territory and who was in the bus. This was a planned attack by a foreign intelligence agency.

you just invited the flame war

ok let me educate you on the bold part. its not the first attack. these attacks have been happening since the good old times when the victims of terror were only shias, we normally remember those times as golden times,

the people of Kohistan are heavily influenced by Deobandi school of thought and are the deadly against the Shias. during the Zia era they even launched an all out war on northern areas which has a sizable shia population. there were thousands of deaths and destruction of property.
since the only electronic media channels were government controlled and the print media could only print what Government allowed so most of us dont even know what went on there during 88-89.

The Koshistani fanatics also form the front troops of the taliban. they have a very simple method of checking the shia.
they know that any vehicle with NA registration or a public transport going there will defiantly have shia.
just like the Baloch terrorists stop the buses coming from Sindh to Balochistan.

then they march out people and check their ID cards and then shoot them on site without discriminating between women, men, children old or young. you dont relaly need a high tech system or intel for that. simple rule of thumb that if a place has a majority of a certain ethnicity or faith, then any transport going to and from will have people of that community.

they use the same principle on the vehicles going to Parachinar. and its bad enough if you are bringing food to the shia besieged town, it wont matter if you are a Sunni. your crime is so big that you will be burnt alive with the truck. thats what happened two years ago to trukers who were stopped by taliban and burnt along with the food supplies.


this is why our country is being given the Drone therapy. its a shame that drones are killing civilians too. but rest assured. these drones are the answer to the calls of the weak members of the community who are suffering at the hands these terrorists who share the Al Qaeda ideology and have the sympathies of the saudis.

give it few days. all will be forgotten about this and we will move on. these terrorist know it too.

Do the ID cards have Shia/Sunni mentioned?

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Funny the countrys president himself is a shia...

how is that funny? by the way Zardari is not a Shia

by the way I am not sure how his faith is important and related to this thread?

Fruits of saudi wahabism are ripening
whereever the saudis have been welcomed, wahabism and extremism has flourished.

Its a sadistic murder of civilians. Gilgit-Baltistan has suffered some of these attacks before. In 1980 there was a very similar attack. People in a bus were removed from their buses, forced to get off, lined up and shot by terrorists.

The terrorists do it and escape every time. Theres nothing such as the law in Pakistan

 

[user1]

^^^So, which Taliban are these? TTP or Mullah Omar ones?

 

[Abii]

there's are valid theological and social (as in Islamic perspective) why the shias are considered kafirs by some sunni groups.

there are counter arguments too but do not seem to satisfy the stake holders on sunni side.

wahabis aren't sunnis, although they claim to be. Shias are more muslim than these extremist animals can ever be. Wahabism is a cult based on hate and extremism for everything and everyone.

RIP to the dead. we pray that the security agencies get the guts to capture all terrorists who spill the blood of the innocent.
otherwise the Drones are going find them anyway, but that will result in collateral damage too.
its better that the justice is served by us instead of outsiders.
