@Shaami Lahori: you got that right, brother. These hate speeches by mullahs results in brain washing of the citizens…they call each other kafir and what not..if it doesnt stop this country is doomed for breakup again.

@Shaami Lahori:
Talibans have the same ideology and they have declared the same openly several times. Who other than Taliban would carry out this ghastly act in this area ? I agree with your mind set comments but who will change it as there is no dynamic and fearless leader in Pakistan and who dares somehow is silenced by Taliban.

@Shaami Lahori: Who will teach but the words of Allah. Please refer to Quran for solving spiritual/social problems instead of Mullahs who are the real culprit for instilling the filth and hatred in the public.

24 dead in Swat blast; 11 dead in Quetta blast. But danger to Pakistan is from the border with India?

If you read most of the comments it looks as majority of Pakistanis understand the problem and have earnest wish to get rid of the religious extremism. Be these belief based atrocities against various factions of Islam or other minorities. But then biggest question, why it is not being controlled? The simple answer, as I understand, those on helm of affairs have no pressure of masses as such do not want it that way. Have you ever heard clear cut condemnation and determination to curb these religious or belief related atrocities from President, PM, CJ, COAS, Provincial CMs or Governors. Except for MQM chief no political leader ever dared to speak against these belief based cruelties. MQM chief, couple of times did speak in favour of Ahmadies, Shias and Christians but then he also tracked back on the pressure of clerics. Small minority of religious fanatics has hijacked the nation of 180 millions. Moderate majority either has been totally frightened or just has closed its eyes due to reasons best known to it. Even civil society never ever raised its voice in this aspect. Recently even Sheikhul Islam collected lot of people to raise voice against faulty electoral system but non is daring to control the belief related barbarism against own citizen brethren. Blood of innocent human being is never wasted and nature acts in a very staunch manner. If majority of Pakistanis continues to be silent spectator on these belief based atrocities and did not come farward to stop all this, it will also be considered as part of this barbarism and human history is full of such incidents where staunch act of nature completely wiped out such human race.

@Shaami Lahori:
It is a general mindset of Pakistanis. Do not try to narrow it down to Pukhtoons as you tried to imply.

What you say is true. The county needs a change, however not the type being proposed by the ultra-right who are presently seen on the political platform.

So sad! The question is why against these pacifist Tablighis?

Another sad day, we need to do something…..start by getting rid of incompetent security infrastructure; get rid of them all.

@Milestogo: “We need to quickly start a de-brainwashing program so that correct Islamic interpretations might be taught to the brainwashed individuals.”

As long as you stick to ‘correct Islamic interpretation’, someone will challenge you and say their interpretation is correct. This is a debate that can never end. You need to go with a simple humanistic approach.

@Shaami Lahor : It looks like you are simply disappointed that some Muslims are falsely being called kaffir and kiled. The progress will occur when you realize that killing itself is wrong whether the other person is kaffir or not. At that time the definition of kaffir will cease to matter.

@Shah

And remember that we will have to change ourselves as well,especially the mindset of hatred and extremism.
