Hassan | 14 years ago | Reply Why do people like Sultan Ahmed allways blame foreigners\outsiders for problems created within our so called " Ummah " There is a possibility that such acts are funded by agents etc, but the bottom line is that muslims are at some part of the chain and are the ones who carry out these acts. Lets say America are propagating these crimes will they send a blonde haired blue eyed boy to blow up a mosque in Pakistan ? NO.... they will activate a cell within Pakistan and eventually a muslim will be the one who carries out the act. Problem is that due to factions within Islam it has become weak idealogically, Hence the many takers who are promised heaven for commiting such acts, Whice makes me ponder the question, If someone is telling a potential suicide bomber that once he commits this act he will receive " Jannat and an abundance of Houris " why doesn't he\she ask them why they don't commit the act themselves ? and take the rewards themselves ! A freind of mine used to say Islam only exists in name and lip service only, I allways wondered what he meant. Now i am realising the meaning of those words The "Ummah" is selling itself to the highest bidder.

Bilal Raza Qadri | 14 years ago | Reply Another act of grave terrorism, again Taliban supporters will condemn it, saying no Muslim can do it. Students/Talibs are killing innocents, decreating mosques & shrines and patrons are condemning.

Sultan Ahmed. | 14 years ago | Reply Destroying mosques and shrines, is being doing under a pre planed, conspiracy,dividing Muslims into small groups for creating weakness among them. In fact, they are not Muslims, not relating to any religion,not human being also but we should think what kind of mission behind this? There is special mission based on conspiracy that is grim-mockery in nature, conspirators perpetrators want to make Muslim Umma weak weaker so that Muslim Umma become disabled to defense lived as a slaves in this way conspirator can make their rule long on the hill-earth areas. in this way the conspirators can make their rule long, under the plan they have undertaken,Muslims would divided into small groups, no Muslim can play with the dignity and honor of mosque and shrine because Islam does not permit for that, Islam is a religion of peace not such like insurgency or terrorism. The great shrine in Lahore Pakistan was targeted under a particular thinking, every Muslim felt panic by the incident,suspicion against each other sect began creating but God bless all of us they failed in their mission,now it is same one under the same thinking. Hills are smeared with blood of local and foreigners, it is best for them to go back to their concerned quarters will have to go back, better way than more bloodshed.

Farukh Sarwar | 14 years ago | Reply What are these guys trying to prove? Destroying a shrine and mosque is a work of a sick person with no regard of the religious beliefs of other people.
