The headline screams out that more than 40 people are dead after a heartless and soulless suicide attack on a mosque in Rawalpindi. The story under it tells us that more than half of those butchered are children.
Numb. Enraged. Without words. One stares into space.
How many such headlines have we seen? How many more are we destined to see?
Carnage. Bloodshed. Callousness. Hatred.
These are not things that anyone with a modicum of humanity can become used to. Yet, the world passes us by. Its not even news for the rest of the world. They are too busy worrying about “their” Taliban, to care about what “our” Taliban are doing. In the crazy world that we have manufactured, not every death is created equal. And certainly not every life.
Once again, Pakistanis die. Once again, Pakistanis cry. Alone.
Once again, Pakistanis stare into the darkness of nothingness, looking for answers. There are few words of sympathy from those who claim to be our friends. There are only sneers and jeers from those who are our enemies.
Why, one asks, why? Why do they hate us so?
In this video interview one would-be suicide bomber speaks up. It is harrowing. Listen, if you will, to the voice of hatred. Listen, if you can, to what Pakistan’s enemy sounds like.
@Indian: Ironically most of our pro-Indians Pakistanis tend to burry their heads in sand while they are asked to seek truth. We have been constantly reading for last couple of months that Pakistani Army have found concrete evidences of involvement of India in SWaziristan and FATA tribes. They found Indian weapons over there along with Indians itself disguising wearing “Talibanic Fashion”.
Our impotent nonMullah govt does not have guts to admit in international forums like UN etc but facts remain same.

Will liberals try to deal with these kinds of “jihadis”?
Well i do have pity on such ‘jihadis’ for whom order of their leader matters most rather then QURAN and HADITH….his leader must had forgotten to narrate Saheeh Bukhari
Volume 004, Book 052, Hadith Number 257.
‘Narrated By ‘Abdullah : During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet a woman was found killed. Allah’s Apostle disapproved the killing of women and children’
Islam prohibits killing women, the children, the sick, the elderly, and the monks. Also, Islam prohibits killing animals, destroying plants and trees. Islam also prohibits infesting and poisoning waters and springs, destroying homes and civilian establishments. All these are supported by many sayings of the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.). (and what are they doing?)
The way to re-establish the Islamic state as prescribed by Allah (S.W.T) is by giving Da’wah using strong evidence and presenting yourself with patience, perseverance and forgiveness. This is the Jihad that the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) and his companions exercised in Makkah before migrating to Madinah.
……i wish we could convince these suiciders…
and 1 more point this suicider has pointed…..In ISLAM we believe all children are born sinless…while christains believe in hereditory sin theory ,they say that ADAM and EVE sinned so all progeny of ADAM are sinned.

What theocratic values you find in killing innocents?
Did you forget human sacrifice of millions in Iraq to appease the goddess of democracy? Similar eh?
#Indian
if Indians have such profound belief that what goes around comes around then Indian Government should stop meddling in Pakistan internal affairs like patronizing anti-Pakistan elements so that you would not find yourself in similar situation.
@naveed we have lost our identity and lost our moral and cultural values..that is Islam….
BS. Islam is the problem in the first place. Any theology stands to become corrupted to serve the interests of the ruling class and that is what has given us the madressa and our priests, the maulvis who twist the teachings to their will.
It’s nothing new. Take a look at the bloodshed committed in the name of Christ since 1200 AD onwards. The immorality of it all. That is why the west now chooses to be secular, they’ve paid the price of theology.
Pakistan needs to get secular in its wake. It’s not a nation meant for Muslims. It’s a nation meant for everyone who lives and works on its soil. The Pakistani. Otherwise, we don’t have a identity to begin with.
