    These jihadi terrorists are firing indiscriminately at the poor relatives of the patients. It gives an idea how thoroughly these terrorists are brainwashed by mullahs.Recommend

    This is all due to some Islamic celrics who always state in their hate speaches that Killing others who do not follow your faith is legal, Guaranttee to enter in to heaven. All the brain washed people were taught from their childhood that in Jihad you will always get benefit to enter into Heaven. Although, they do not know real meanings of Jihad. God Helps Pakistan. God Helps Islam.
    The Hate against Ahmadis is in the heart of every Non Ahmadi Pakistani bcz when anyone signed National Id card form, Passport form He agreed to be against Ahmadis (Special portion that I am not ahmadi, lahori etc). Then how and why this nation feels that they can removed the hatred from people’s heart.
    To end this hate against humanity. Nation should unite against each form of discrimination and brutality.Recommend

    There is not a single day when we hear the good news.

    The nation should standup to eradicate the menace of terrorism from the country.

    More CPLC offices are required to be opened in the country where people should report about the activities of their next door neighbours having dubious characters.

    The CPLC then should report the matter to the local police to apprehend terrorists before they go into action.

    Uncounted innocent people are killed due to growing terrorism in the country. Enough is enough.

    We all should eradicate terrorism from the country before terrorists harm some more innocent people.Recommend

    Islam is a religion sent by Allah. Do not compare Islam to what happens in daily life.
    There is a massive movement against Islam being conducted by Imperialist forces.
    Divide and rule is a effective and age old theoryRecommend

    @pervaize. Sure. Every relegion is started by some true man. examples. Jews by Hazrat (Musa), Christ by Hazrat Eisa (PBUH) etc.

    But why then. You treat and translate Islam in your own terms. The Terrorist who attacked Muslims while they pray. Where is Islam of those terrorist. Who shouts Nara Takbeer when they fire. See Indiscriminate firing at Jinnah Hospital. All men were beared and Muslims. Who guide them. Who teach them.

    Think. Is It Islam ???Recommend

    These bearded men running out are relatives of the patients, the attackers *terrorist are not in the picture.

    The simple answer is these renegades have been brain washed.
    They were trained to kill non Muslims.
    These people are ignorant and do not know about Surat al Kafaron where Allah says let anyone practice their religion.

    Who trains these people? Very simple they are trained by non Muslims.Recommend
