I am sorry to hear that, may the deceased rest in peace. Was it revealed later who were the perpetrators in that masjid attack? Are you saying they were Shia because it was a Sunni mosque?
I condemn killing of any civilian, be it Sunni or Shia, but you see, as @Atanz said, Shias are receiving much more than they are giving. You see for a group like TTP, it doesn't matter if you are Sunni or Shia, they will kill you if you oppose them. LeJ has mostly targeted the Shias and that's actually the reason of creation of Shia militant groups in Pakistan (which barely exist today). Yes they may be responsible for civilian casualties too, I never denied that, but please, you should understand who started it all at first. What led to rise of sectarian fights in Pakistan? Who killed the most numbers of civilians, who is the main culprit? You know better than me that they are nowhere near equal, even though, loss of even one innocent life is a huge crime based on Quran.
First of all, Iran's role is not proved in any of them and that list is ridiculous.
Secondly, I'll ask you a question and it will be revealed whether you are a hypocrite or not, since you claim that you care about civilian lives. Does it matter if a civilian life is lost in a terrorist attack or in a war? Well guess what? in 1980, Saddam Hussein attacked Iran, used all kinds of war crimes including massive use of chemical weapons, with support of almost all Arab countries except Syria and Libya, and also with support of Europe, USSR and US. It led to death of tens of Iranians, including thousands of civilians. It was one of the biggest civilian casualties in ME after beginning of 20th century. But for people like you, those lives don't matter, because they weren't killed in 'terror' attacks.
Now let's assume all of those attacks in your list are Iran's job (which they are not proved), what's the total number of civilian casualties in those attacks? Now compare it to number of Iranian civilians killed by Iraq and regional countries and west, doesn't it mean that they are the biggest terrorists? Or only civilians that are killed in suicide bombings count?
I think we better not go in past decades, because, I too can bring up matter of nasty game that Pakistan played along with Saudi Arabia in Afghanistan in 90s, which led to death of thousands of civilians, doesn't it also come under the terrorism category? Let me assure you, no country is innocent, so stop playing innocent please.
My whole point in this thread was about the current situation, not years ago, and on bogus claims about non-existent Iranian groups in Baluchistan which is the most stupid thing to say, because Iran itself is complaining to Pakistan about cross border attacks, but it wants to cause unrest on the other side of the border, which would directly hurt Iran itself first and foremost.
So you think I cheer every time I hear that an Iranian dies?. That I throw a party and invite mullahs and pray for more deaths?, what kind of a sick minded person are you?, I'm well aware of the hardships faced by Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war and no any attack on civilian infrastructure or civilians, especially during war time is considered a terror attack, a famous historical example was Hitler's "terror bombing" campaign.
No, those people are not targeted by militant groups because they are Sunnis or Shias but because they are Pakistanis, they merely attack Sunnis to gain support of Shias and attack the Shias to gain support of Sunnis, they want to exploit these wounds to bring Pakistan down.
What fate would you have chosen for Afghanistan?, give an already strong group support to quickly end the war or give support to an entirely new alliance and aide it in its power struggle which would result in even larger bloodshed?. Oh and let's forget that Pakistan aided in ceasefire in between various fighting groups in Afghanistan and those millions of Afghanis given refuge both Sunnis and Shias. And for your claim that the list I gave you about terror attacks that you denied about Iran having played a role, you do know that the 2012 attack on Israeli diplomat in India was found to be done by Iran, not said by Americans or Israelis or Pakistanis but by Indians themselves. And no I'm not playing "innocent", no I only wanted to give you a reminder of what is reality and what is yours and your fellows analysis and mocking, remember its not a Sunni Shia problem labeling these as such will only divide us.
