ISPR debriefing: 132 children died

 

[Aamna Ali]

The two lessons to learn from these incidents are : theocracy carries within it the seeds of its down destruction; and two, never use a holy book to guide your actions without also using commonsense, compassion and reason. Blind faith that is not tempered by reason and human values can lead to unimaginable tragedies.
That anyone can use children as targets for vengeance against their perceived enemies breaks every possible moral code known to humankind. You have to be terribly, terribly sick in the mind or so completely brainwashed by propaganda if you do not know the difference between right and wrong.

Religion and faith are double-edged swords — they can be sublime and they can be danngerous, depending on who uses which holy book for what end.

With apologies to true Muslims here, I,being born a Muslim must assert that all holy books are actually written by human beings, and thus are riddled with all the faults and foibles of humans. Even if the words they contain were said by exalted human beings, they are still human efforts and cannot be taken as something beyond argument or reason.

Commonsense should tell us that no matter what we would like to believe about our holy books, they are often contradictory. They contain both great thoughts and not-so-great ones. If you want to revere them, fine. But if you want to use them as a guide to evry action, you have to do so along with your human judgment. You can go as wrong with the Quran as with the Bible or the Gita if you take every word in them literally.

It is worth pointing out that it is we who make a book holy or unholy. Your religion is peaceful if you are peaceful. Your religion is tolerant if you are tolerant. Your religion exudes love if you exude love. A knife in the hands of a home-maker is different from a knife in the hands of a terrorist. It is we who make the knife something that helps prepare our food or an instrument for general slaughter.

It pains my heart to see these monthly incidents in Pakistan. May Pakistani's never have to see another such heart wrenching incident. We muslims end up being the victims and blamed for it.

The news ticker on my TV showed '100+ dead in attack on school' and I was shocked.

Looked in other news channels and found nothing.

Looked it up online and thought, 'oh, in Pakistan'.

Felt like a terrible person for thinking it means less because it happened there

RIP. I'm sure their deaths will be avenged.

I found out through CNN on my tv so there are stations all over the world reporting it.

American analysts saying this is a sign of weakness on TTP part since they have disregarded public consumption in order to lash out and that the Pakistan army should not falter.

I agree hopefully GOP backs PA and the operations intensify.

After going through my channels only fox has not mentioned it but it does show up on their website.

We have been hit one incident after the another and yet our response is like always pathetic. Now the Wazir-e-Azam sb is saying "Hum bachon ka aik aik khoon ka badla lain ga" really! Kya usi tara ka badla lain ga jaisa ka hum na wagha border ka marna walon ka lia yah phir jo is phela najana kitna log mara ja chuka hain un ka badla lia?

Like always this sad day will be just another day in our miserable lives and from tomorrow we will carry on with our usual business. Had ha bahiissii ki.

Really Ashamed.

Seriously? WTH? I am just reporting looneys right now stand in line!

Dude, what was your point? Let's not digress. If it looks like a Talib, shoots like Talib, kills like a Talib, it's a Talib, and that is no one else's doing but only our undecidedness, lack of unity and lack of vision to deal with a problem. Let's not see patterns where nothing exists.

The Pakistanis are straightforward and sometimes extremely stupid. The Indians are more devious, sometimes so smart that we fall for their line

Hence I said "I urge Pakistani brethren". And let me assure you, I don't shy away from self defense unlike some city dwellers. And wanna hear another thing retarded? They have killed dozens of Pakistanis in Bahrain. Go figure.

That is a little over the top don't you think? My univ has a lot of arab students who have nothing to do with what happened today.So why should they be beaten?

Oh shut up. Your post was complete without that BS.

If people are not matured enough to post they shouldnt ruin other people´s discussion/ mood/ threads and so on....

The moderator warned of a ban discussing this here. But foreigners should think twice before going on an international "jihad".

Any dead terrorists been identified as of now?

Probably the usual cannon fodder from the FATA. That Khorassani chap is probably sitting around somewhere in luxury in Karachi, Lahore or Peshawar proper.

The reality is that this blowback will happen. It tears my heart and the fact that I am a product of these Army schools (prior to them being called APS) from a very long time ago makes this almost personal yet the only option left is to take the Op ZeA to its logical conclusion, i.e. taking these elements and their supporters in the cities after the FATA has been pacified.

All those who keep on repeating this point "these are not Muslims", need to realize that in their minds they are the best of the Muslims and have already been chosen by God to kill all others who disagree with them or are associated with those that disagree with them. In essence what we have on hand is an ideological war to win. For all those who have looked back at the history, we are once again faced with the khawarij. They cannot be talked with, the only solution is their elimination but this will be a long, hard slog as it always has been because you need to work on the extreme brainwashing and remove it altogether.

One can only imagine the cannon fodder used here was of very low IQ, essentially no compassion towards little children, who are mostly from poor families and fellow pashtuns, and as is typical, very heavily brainwashed. The Takfiri-in-chief Khorassani idiot claimed that this was in response to the killing of their women. The reality is that since the start of this operation, the number of dead women is known to be zero to ten at max because 99% of the families evacuated.

No matter which way one looks at this, its the work of a desperate militant outfit hitting out at our soft underbelly because they are running out of options. The fact that this was Peshawar (close to FATA) and a non-military target (its an APS which is now open to civilians as well) clearly tells one that the options are dwindling and these elements are going to make noise whichever way its possible. The fact that they did not realize how much hatred this action would generate is another indication that their actions are more knee-jerk rather than result oriented (where their actions would help them achieve their goals). Nobody is scared of these bastards and nobody has any sympathy. Even the Punjabi Taliban will walk away from this ghastly suicidal act so hopefully its a matter of time that this so called "Omar Khorassani" takfiri will be killed in an air/drone or ground operation in a few months time and nobody will remember him. This is the story with most of these chaps. That they leave destruction along the way is extremely sad, yet this is the nature of the beast we are dealing with.

May Almighty God bless each and every child who has been martyred, injured or impacted by this tragedy and may the Almighty give their family members sabr-e-jameel over their loss. Ameen.
