10 dead in attack on Lahore churches

[Windjammer]

They are retaliating and looking for soft targets such as mosques, churches. Expect more such incidents as the snooze getting tighter around their thick necks.

Exactly, the other day 48 of them were sent to hell, courtesy of PAF. By hitting soft targets, they are desperate to prove their penny worth of still being active. Otherwise what do these scum think that by such actions they will force the army to pull back. The fact is gloves came off after the attack on APS. Now these rag tags are just running helter skelter with very few places to hide.

R.I.P. and sincere condoleances to the Pakistani nation.

Two things however :
@Yaduveer No matter how I tried to interpret reading it, your message seems to belie your signature.
Anyway, Syedali answered you already. [ Ed. and so did Windjammer. ]

@ All foreigners but especially Americans politicians, Churches in Pakistan getting blown up in Pakistan …
means its a diverse country more than a duplicitous one, the former likely explaining why the later could seem true from afar.
For an Islamic nation, doesn't that show some tolerance and that Islam can be a religion of peace depending on the model used to embody it?
How many Churches in Saudi Arabia exactly? Just for comparison sake?

Bravo Pakistan even on such a sad day, Tay.

I dont know what is position of viz a viz location of churches in other parts of the country but here in my province KPK as far as i have understood the Brits were wise enough to understand that Cantonments would be much safer to have Churches so we have Churches mostly in cantonment areas.

We have a Church side by side with a grand Mosque in Peshawar Cantt. You can see the minarets of the mosque as well as cross of the church .

That is pretty much the case everywhere in Pakistan except for the Churches that were erected post 1947, or in more recent years.

It is obvious the Government cant protect every Church or Mosque. It wont be a bad idea to to erect 'razakar' force, train them, arm them, and let them take care of such civilian installations.

Ali i think razakar force is a bad idea. We must avoid arming the settled areas

I hope that the filth responsible for today's barbarity are hunted down by our security forces and that justice is done to them and all those who support them - Either by sending them to the gallows or directly to their Maker so that He can exact an even greater punishment on these terrorist filth who take the name of Islam on one hand while spitting on it the very next through their actions.

Well nobody likes to die and if they were not provided with protection, people will acquire arms regardless. In that case, it will be worst than having a razakar force, that is at-least registered with the government and works under the watchful eye of certain authority.

Which is a fine way to go. I stated this before : I have never had any problem talking religion with others …
as long as all were learned and sincere that is!
I have given a bad grade to Pakistan when needed on my blog but defended it from blame thrown at it way
more often :
The “new and improved” Pakistan “2.0”has since been trying to glue its own pieces back together. On the outside towards India, around Kashmir or on its previous inside as is the case in Afghanistan.
Pakistan in 1947 is incredibly poor and thanks to the presence of rather angry and somewhat revenge oriented Indians will literally have to spend an enormous amount of what little money it has on establishing a very consequent military to defend itself up to acquiring nuclear dissuasion. That money cannot be simultaneously spent on schooling or roads and sewers, can it? The influence of the Arabian peninsula monarchies it allows is too great according to some but there again, those countries were willing to provide for the task and are after all as the historic schematization showed, related to the region covered by Pakistan since the beginning of Islam, even though that interest may also carry hidden agendas. In return, Pakistani Air Force now participates in joint training with these gulf nations as in the UAE’s ATLC courses held at Al-Dhafra with the presence of the USA, the UK & France which helps maintain coherent relations to the West that would otherwise most likely be impossible if only on account of the Indian antagonism.
Pakistan also tries very hard to combat islamist terrorism. So hard in fact that Afghanistan was a problem for them before it ever was one for Occidentals. While the Soviets danced the deadly tango with their neighbour, Pakistanis had to juggle with the influx-efflux of rebels. Streams that cross a very mountainous border that simply does not relate to the terrain but just lines on paper and have as little meaning to local populations, tribes, clans and the like as those in Israel do to the Palestinians. And the ability to combat was developed but is as western troops found out not that easy to implement either. In addition, the level of military information ( Intelligence ) needed for the job is almost tenfold that you would take for granted in a more traditional and cohesive national structure. All that in 65 years!
And as if that was not enough, it is often accused of not doing enough in the war against terrorism, when in fact, it risks internal dissents and conflicts in doing so and is only rewarded for its efforts by a given Western power considering quasi-total freedom of action over its territory apparently regardless of civilian victims and perceptions thus engendered.

And yet, Pakistan holds steadfast, is a major contributor to the UN’s Casques Bleus/Blue Helmets Peacekeeping Forces.
The above being an excerpt from a January 2013 Post.

Many of the comments here confirm my view that Pakistan is handling itself well in very tough circumstances and as a nation in general.
I am not surprised if you prefer and you really need not convince me.
But the reminder needs to be made ( and I will later today in a news post ) to outsiders with limited eyesight?

Respect and peace out, Tay.

Hope Napak army and rangers arrest and kill more MQM members because it's obvious they are involved in such terrorist attacks. But please don't arrest or start operations against your jihadi extremist fathers which are breeding like cockroaches in Punjab and KPK.

I think we should remind Hindus "The hindukus" mountain .. that place is the best way to show our love for India.

A high grade strand of marijuana. This sweet smelling plant is part of the Cannabis Indica family, which leads the plant to be short and squat in appearance. Some forms of Kush, however, are in fact a hybrid between Cannabis Indica and Cannabis Sativa... which leads to greater harvests. Varieties of the Kush plant include,(But are not limited to), Hindu Kush, OG Kush, Purple Kush, Master Kush. Many crossbreeds exist as well.

People with binding force don't adopt the narrative of Hindu-Kush you're refering even Hindus dont teach it in their text books, to promote hatred which they could easily.
