Now is the time to unite against terrorists! Otherwise, we will keep seeing innocent Pakistanis being attacked.
BRANDON, FLORIDA, USA: This is with reference to Raza Rumi’s article “Those who attacked Kamra were not Americans, they are from among us” (August 20). What is surprising is that even after several arrests and open acceptance of the total responsibility of the attack by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, some still cannot refrain from blaming the US or various other agencies around the world. Conspiracy theorists not only give credence to these attackers but they also belittle the sacrifices of the people who lose their lives or are injured in these attacks.
Please do not forget that Pakistanis have lost over 40,000 of their countrymen, including innocent women and children to terrorist attacks. This war is ‘their war’ as well and whoever gives even an iota of support to these terrorists are just plain unjust to the people who have lost their loved ones at the hands of these cowardly attackers. Now is the time to unite against these terrorists and completely destroy them! Otherwise, we will keep seeing innocent Pakistanis being attacked and dying at the hands of terrorists.
