Majid: what do you mean by neighbours??
I definitely can tell you that he is not victim of religious extremists. There must be some external force involved in this trying to exploit our situation. They do not know the fine details of religious extremism existing in our country. Bohri's comes last to deal with in the list of militants (religious extremists). Bohri makes the most of business community of Karachi - backbone of our economy. No one can be benefited by killing them at this time except our neighbors.
Why jumpt to conclusion when the motive is unclear as yet? aren't ppl killed over family disputes,business conflicts,resistance on mugging? wait for the facts of the case before making this a religious issue.
