Babar | 8 years ago | Reply When the State encourages promoting hatred and even the likes of Imran Khan contribute towards this hate crime and therefore responsible directly or indirectly for such murders. why should we expect the uneducated mullah mafia led masses to think any different? In Pakistan everyone is responsible for this murder!!! May Allah guide this misguided nation.

Annoyed | 8 years ago | Reply They always kill people who are positively vontributing to the community. Such as doctors, philantropists, shopkeepers etc. They want to remove Ahmadis from the public sphere and dehumanize them further.
