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.
For those who claim to be Muslims but have gone astray, we pray that God show true path.
Regarding Najdis where these Wahabis have sprung up. I hope Najdi lovers will repent.
Prophet said, “O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen.” The People said, “And also on our Najd.” He said, “O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham (north)! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen.” The people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! And also on our Najd.” I think the third time the Prophet said, “There (in Najd) is the place of earthquakes and afflictions and from there comes out the side of the head of Satan.”
@ Adnan Siddiqui, quote:
”So far I did not see any Wahabi or Deobandi to exhibit his religious affiliation like that. So who actually hijacked Pakistan. These so called “non-Mullah” brigades who can’t clean the filth and radicalism in their own sects or Wahabis? Where are Wahabis? I don’t see them anywhere or even in Karachi.”
I think u r denying the daylight facts since almost 99.99 % of suicide bombings, religiously motivated terror and bloodshed is being perpetrated by Wahabis/deobandis and by their dogmatically affiliated strands. They don’t need to exhibit themselves in the shops or in a major city like Karachi (from where most probably you are) as their heinous crimes against humanity have been well documented not only in Pakistan but also in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere in the world. Throat slitting, body mutilation and kidnappings are their speciality. They therefore do not need to exhibit themsleves through shops, we see and feel them in Pakistan’s day to day bombings!
Adil Najam, well done for raising these issues so openly; this is your service to humanity. I hope things will change for better in the near future.
@Ali Hamdani:
i didn’t say that.. THEY say.. its all fake.. conspiracy.. the media is controlled by jews.. the ketchup was by Heinz.. the special effects by jewish controlled Hollywood..
it was played out only to malign islam.. they say even India is involved.. hmm…
its kind of strange.. whenever we ask MUSLIMS to live and let live.. indians and americans start sponsoring them to play in these movies blowing themselves up..
ask any religionized person to stop using intimidation and fear to spread islam.. and in no time america and india will sponsor him to attack you..
these were 2 bomb blast actually what was aired in the news. It is really tragic that these terrorist can get so ruthless. They killed the poor innocent who were already seeking refugee may some1 bring them to justice and punish these terrorists so that Paista can be free of militancy and we can have some peace at LAST
@salman. You are gone crazy man. For you all this is a joke?? Over 40 people died and these people were already homeless due to these crazy terrorist. Then the terrorist come back once again and attack the same people and you saying its all fake. Get a life man!!
