Are you implying Lashkar e Janghvi are non-Muslims?
It is wrong to kill people in the name of religion. Learn to live like humans.

We are all ONE nation, we belong to ONE religion. Shia or sunni, hazara or non-hazara, we all are muslims and we shall NOT tolerate any of our muslim brothers and sisters to be brutally targeted and killed. My heart and soul go out to the families of my brothers martyred in Quetta, we are with you all the way. May Allah grant all those who lost their lives a high place in jannah, grant their families with patience and all of us with peace, justics and security within our nation. Ameen. Muslims will not separate inshAllah.
