Today: Suicide Blast in Adezai near Peshawar kills 37, injures 52.
Yesterday: A car bomb in Faisalabad kills 25, injures 125.
The Taliban, in both cases, take “credit” for murder and mayhem.
What is there is to add? Pakistanis cry. Pakistanis die.
Our tears have no value. Our pain has no standing. Our words have no meaning. The absurdity that we live has no limits. Jo marra woh bhi shaheed. Jiss nay maara woh bhi shaheed.
Tomorrow: More Pakistanis will die. Tomorrow more Pakistanis will cry. But, tomorrow is another day!
Some comments from the ATP Facebook Page:
– “If you looking for mercy in Pakistan forget about it. It’s too late, my opinion is let them kill each other, we need some million people get kill & then they were realize, what’s happening in the battle ground.”
– “Hum Qatl ho rhay hain lekin jo qatal kr rhay hain wo ham main say nai.. They are foreign funded mercenaries who should be kicked out.. The only religion they have is money !”
– “In the line of Martyrdom, A comparative Analysis
There is a much debate going on among the different walks of life in condemning suicide bombings and bombers labeling the culprits as the brutal murderers of innocent civilians
I dare not to criticize the condemnation of suicide bombings, not at all……
Instead want to project my own opinion (correct me if I am wrong) in comparative account of psychological mindsets of two opposing parties in a battle field of FATA region both hailing from common faith and nation-state.
A Suicide bomber (mostly 16-22 in age), ready to tie up a bomb with his body and blow him up preferably in a crowded area killing tens and hundreds of civilians around is basically inspired with the spirit of jihad or revenge the sufferings of his near and dear ones in the name of alleged terrorist or simply the collateral damage. His sacrifice is a violent struggle against the existing pro-west anti Islamic government. To him, this suicide bombing and its aftermath is a pressure tactic mounting on the government institution to pressurize them for the change of their respective policies which are triggering such incidents. Thus, A suicide bomber, a fundamentalist, an insurgent, a militant/terrorist, an effecte of war on terror or any other suitable title (for that matters) is moving towards his death with the pride of sacrificing his life in the line of martyrdom and his way towards the eternal peace.
On another hand, take the example of a uniformed soldier of Pak Army or from any law enforcing agency of government, fighting with the spirit of nationalism against whom, he have been told, are working on anti state agenda aiming at destabilizing his country. The soldier with the enthusiasm of safeguarding the ideological foundations and geographical integral limits of his homeland fights for ensuring the writ of government in a region is proud of moving towards his death in the line of martyrdom to find the eternal peace.
Now, suppose a battle field, where both the fighters confront each other in open armed violent opposition, we could categorically segregate the phenomenon as,
• Fundamentalism versus Patriotism
• Islamization versus Nationalism
• Revenge versus Duty
Out of the above two extreme ends, one thing is common, the spirit of martyrdom……
Whatever may be the list of root causes between both the physiological mindsets,
Whatever may be the most appropriate and convincing justification for their approaches
At the end, it’s a fight among
• Missionary versus Missionary
• Muslim versus Muslim
• Pakistani versus Pakistan
I often find it a stranger fact that a war with origination from 70’s and 80’s between the two super powers of the times got modified into a one fought today in FATA region of Pakistan where A Pakistani Muslim Missionary is murdering another Pakistani Muslim Missionary and claim to fight in the line of martyrdom…….”
@absolutely-
I can also be sarcastic like you but I don’t want to stoop to your level.
Where did I say that violence against non-Muslims was OK? I am saying that all violence is bad but a Muslim killing another Muslim is doubly bad. It is fratricide- a brother killing a brother. Can’t you understand this?
Brainwashed western zombies are unable to understand the real nature of anti-Islamic conspiracy. They are busy doing psychological and political fellatio on their American- Zioninist- Hindutva masters. In this they are worse than their masters. At least their masters are open about their enmity toward Pakistan and Islam. However these brainwashed treacherous pseudo Muslims are destroying Pakistan from within. Their designs will inevitably fail.
Pakistan Zindabad! Allah- hu- Akbar!!

Well said Maqbool.
But why stop with 1971? Remember 4 April 1979? When Muslim Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged by anti-Islamic forces? It is but fitting that the same anti-Islamic forces who hanged Bhutto also created the blasphemy laws that are currently revered by real Muslims.
Remember also 20 September 1996, when Muslim Murtaza Bhutto was killed by anti-Islamic forces. These anti-Islamic forces were in fact employed by the Police of Pakistan.
Or for that matter 16 October 1951, when Muslim Liaquat Ali Khan was shot by anti-Islamic forces.
We’ll ignore the Lahore mosque attacks of 28 May 2010 for they were aimed at non-Muslim Ahmadis. Ahmadis are not part of the Ummah and I can see no fault in mindless violence against them. Inshallah at this rate there will be no more Ahmadis left to worry about in the next ten years.
I have sympathy for all the real Muslims (Ahmadiyyas, this does not include you) who have been, and continue to be, slaughtered by anti-Islamic forces throughout the history of Pakistan. Pakistan can gain salvation only by tightening its border such that only Real Muslims are allowed in. In the meantime identify, brand and deport all non-Muslims.
No real Muslim can perpetrate such mindless violence on other Muslims. All Muslims are part of the same ummah. How can then they kill each other? It is the enemies of Pakistan and Islam who are behind these killings. They are capable of doing this and they have done it earlier also (remember 1971). Real Muslims should not get trapped by the evil design of anti-Pakistan, anti-Islam forces. Pakistan zindabad! Alla-hu-Akbar!!
