Many yet took the time to voice their opinions on the social networking site Twitter, protesting against the growing extremism in the society.

People need to stop tweeting and arm themselves because things will probably get much worse. The government is on the side of the terrorists, it cannot be relied upon and a large segment of the population is so bigoted against other sects and religions that it will only understand the language of violence. The only way to save Pakistan is to purge it of terrorists and terrorist sympathizers and to cleanse it of their takfiri ideology.

Its a good symbol that social media activist of Pakistan feel the need to get united on the issue of InterFaithHarmony and condemn extremism with NoToExtremism, At least MQM and his leaders should be acknowledged to take the lead in raising the subject with full force.Recommend
@Eye thats correct now is the time to stand up and get united.. today we seem a good display of such harmony in Karachi under banner of MQM. I hope our scholars belonging to all sect will condemn the killings with courage and will display the harmony in spirit too.
