Just how inhuman can the murderous zeal of fanatics be?
Here are the essential facts: Two suicide killers, hiding behind burqas, murdered more than 40 people, and injured another 60+, in two explosions minutes apart, at an IDP (internally displaced peoples) refugee camp at Katcha Pakka near Kohat, as they gathered to register for relief goods and as food was being distributed to them.
Yes, you read it right.
They murdered people who have already been made homeless. They killed people gathered to collect food and relief goods. They killed deliberately. They murdered on purpose. This was not an accident or bad planning. They had planned to kill. They had wanted to murder. They planned to kill women and children and innocent civilians.
That is exactly what they wanted to do. That is exactly what they did.
This is neither unique as an incident nor unique in its brutality and inhumanity.
Yesterday, it was a hospital – yes, hospital – that was attacked in Quetta where Muslims were mourning the death of a murdered Shia leader.
The butchers were butchering. Deliberately. Purposefully. Inhumanly.
The blood boils, eyes swell up and humanity cries whenever an innocent soul is killed. No matter why. No matter by whom. No matter how. But when the murder is so callous, so planned, so deliberate, so inhuman, the heart skips a beat, the mind is baffled, and something dies within each one of us. There is nothing more left to say.
What can one say that has not been said before. One seethes in ones anger. One sends out a silent prayer. One wipes off the tears. And one stares into the darkness. Trying desperately, trying senselessly, trying uselessly, to understand why anyone could do such a thing. How anyone could do such a thing.
One stares into the darkness. Knowing full well that no darkness known to man could be darker than the darkness that breeds this murder.
talking shariat & islam! Astaghfirullah!!!

The only good thing is that at least no one is defending these Taliban beasts!
The real thing is that Pakistanis need to get clearly and strongly behind these fanatics and then the Army should be given instructions to ramp up even more the battle against them and just lush them totally out. It will be messy but it is the only solution. We HAVE to get rid of these murderers from our society.
The cruelty of these Taliban killers knows no bounds. They don’t care about Pakistan and Pakistanis should not care about them. We are just becoming the dumping battleground of everyone – Americans, Indians, Afghans, they are all dumping their violence on us. We should just say NO to everyone and start focusing only on Pakistan.
Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “What cruel people these Taliban are. And the greater cruelty is that there are still good Pakistanis who support them!”
– “if they support these DEMONS they cant be GOOD!”
– “Sad, sad, sad. But to ask How Inhuman can a fanatic be, is asking a silly question.
Like CPS above, I seriously believe that killers like the suicide bombers, their handlers, and everyone else in their hierarchy exist, without souls, only to kill. They are worse than nests of hornets or killer ant hills. At least those exist to support the ecosystem. They should be eradicated using the worst and the most lethal of weaponry available to mankind never to resurface again.”
– “ا یہ وقت اسلام، شیعہ، سنی یا مومن اور منافق کے فرق پر بحث کرنے کا نہیں بلکہ کچھ کرکے دکھانے کا وقت ہے۔ ”
– “These barbarians must be stopped. It is not just a physical battle but one of ideology. Tne outcome will determine the kind of Pakistan our future generations inherit. The battle is for the survival of Pakistan ..no less.”
