These incidents have decreased considerably but it will take a long time to completely vanish.:frown:
 
.
The way I look at it, even the attack on the supply tankers last few days is as bad. At the end of it, they were Pakistani civilians who were killed/ burned alive by these terrorists..

RIP the dead.Why did they do this in a holy place?

Well there is a certain group from a sect that considers everyone else to be heretics and thus liable to be killed. They go about poisoning others, attacking and killing opposers over miniscule matters.

Sufi like many others do not conform to their ways and this is why they were killed.

Like Musharraf said, the civil society was poisoned in the 80's and the true effects of that dark period are showing their ugly face today.

We know who the culprits are, who funds them and how to stop them but alas we are bound by certain aspects that would astound many.

I am a strong follower of Sufism, it has brought a change in my life.
I respect all Sufi Buzurgs, any strike on their shrines fills me with hatred against these rascals.
They cannot tolerate a part of Muslim thinking then how can they tolerate any other religions??

I think the time has come for all to unite and condemn this, and make a vow to take on terrorists of any hue or color.
This reminds of Musharafs' acceptance of training terrorists against India, probably these very people are going directionless??:what:

Zia probably was the worst thing that happened to Pakistan. These guys are the worst kind of terrorist. I mean, even if I pretend to understand religious terrorism, now these guys even want to subdivide their religion and then kill the ones who dont fall in the subdivision they like :hitwall:

I'm curious - what are these aspects that bind people? Or can it not be discussed here?

Let me tell you about an incident in our history. During the 1953 Lahore agitations, a great General by the name of Azam Khan moved in normalize the situation. He famously quipped that he would deal with this matter in an hour, he did so brilliantly and the situation itself was no simple matter, the police and government were unable to control it.

He ended the riots, took control of Lahore and arrested the 'religious' leaders who were responsible. In military court, death sentence was passed down to these 'leaders' to be carried out effectively the very next morning.

As this happened, a call came from a certain King of a Middle Eastern nation that very night and the sentences were never carried out. The same religious leaders and their cronies then went on to destroy our social fabric with a Mard-e-Momin called Zia.

The same pressures bind us today.

At least seven people have been killed by two suicide blasts at a Sufi shrine in the Pakistani city of Karachi, say officials.

Several other people were injured in the explosions at the busy Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine.

The BBC's Shoaib Hasan at the scene says crowds of people are outside the shrine awaiting news of loved ones.

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari said he condemned the incident "in the strongest possible terms".

Our correspondent says dozens of security force members were at the scene, and there are scenes of mayhem around the shrine.

Police official Mohammad Nasim told the AFP news agency that the number of casualties could rise.

In a statement, Mr Zardari said the blasts had happened on the shrine's busiest evening of the week, when people gathered to hand out free food to the poor.

He blamed the attacks on "those who want to impose an extremist mindset and lifestyle upon our country" but said the government would not be deterred.

"We remain committed to fighting these murderers and expelling them from our land," he said.

The explosions appear to be similar to a double suicide attack on another Sufi shrine in Lahore in July.

More than 40 people were killed and nearly 200 injured in the attack on the popular Data Darbar shrine.
