Pakistan remains at war. Whether it is schoolgirls in Lower Dir or Shia mourners and those waiting outside Jinnah Hospital in Karachi. All Pakistanis everywhere are targets for these murderous enemies of Pakistan.
It may be true that we do not have many friends abroad. But it is certainly clear that our cruelest enemies are all amongst us.
Day in, day out, they kill and maim and terrorize Pakistanis all across Pakistan. No city is safe. No Pakistani is safe. The ritual is now well entrenched. We mourn our dead. We cry. And just as the tears begin to dry, we are called upon to mourn some more. To cry, again.
The tears are unavoidable, and maybe even necessary. But they are no longer sufficient.
Let us begin, at least, by refusing to tolerate any excuse, any justification, any argument for such violence. Denial must no longer be an option. Yes, there may be forces great and small that are against us. Yes, Pakistanis are being killed also by outsiders too. Yes, the world is an unfair and unjust place. Yes, the wheels of history are complicated. All that, and more, may be as it is. But it is our children who are doing the dying. Everyday. Everywhere.
Those who train themselves to commit such acts – in whose ever name and for whatever purpose they do so – make no excuses for what they do. No excuses must be made for them either.
Let us listen, once again, to how the enemies of Pakistan justify this murder and mayhem:
I second the opinion that we should strongly argument/justifications put forth by any quarters who would to construct any causal-relationship between such heinous acts. No logic can justify the killings of innocent civilians. The nation is getting prone and rather numb to such incidents the least we can do is to mourn our loved one with dignity.
It is a simple matter to be honest, sincere, poingnantly accurate, and speaking truth.
We have many versions of truth and all truths are rays coming out of sun.
What we must condemn and condemn in unequivocal voice is destruction of life, property, and dignity.
We have the freedom to hold on to our views butwe must come together at least on common resolve to fight all forms and shapes of criminal behavior.
Zindagi bohat khubsorat hoti hai jaisay kay maira Raab. mairay nabi ka qool hai kay musalman ka khoon kaabay se bhi mohataram hai. Khuda ka farman hai jis ne kisi ko zindagi de aisay hi hai jaisay tamam insaniyat ko zindagi de. Jis nay aik insan qatl kiya tamam insaniyat ka qatl kiya.
Zindagi Mohataram hai.
These Taliban types are now targeting different Muslim sects wanting to kill Muslims everywhere. But it is also a sign of desperation on their part because they have lost all public support and Army is now fighting them.

The day MQM stop using the barrel of a gun to further their politics will be the day they will gain acceptance.
Labelling yourself a liberal party does not make you so. Extortion, intimidation and fear is what they thrive on.
Supporting progressive politics beholdens every man, women and child to stand up for the truth regardless of what the soundbites eminating from the mouths of our so-called democratic parties state.
We have to start realising corruption, bad governance, intolerance and political party thuggery are not seperate phenomenons but feed on each other. And then we wonder why we have descended to our current position.
