The peace deal is only going to embolden kharijis. There can be no peace with people who consider anyone disagreeing with them kafir.

OMG :( :(
The situation is seriously getting out of hand !!!

Re: Blast near Jinnah Super Market Islamabad

We've had these things before peace deal... try '...ever since USA invaded Afghanistan'.

It shouldn't have been 'Pakistan's war' to begin with.

Re: Blast near Jinnah Super Market Islamabad

Well, I asked in another thread a similar question but looks like its related. The deal was with "Swati" Taliban, its very likely that this act is carried out by Mehsudi Taliban (Waziristan). May be Mehsudi is trying a similar deal as Swati of getting to rule Waziristan on his own.

Re: Blast near Jinnah Super Market Islamabad

Not good at all.

Was the 17yr old Swati girl flogged on false charges as a revenge against America? Was the preacher of a madrassah and former jihadi himself shot dead by taliban because the length of his shalwar was not long enough a revenge against america? Was killing a polish engineer helping pakistan a revenge against america? There are so many such questions I can ask off you, but I'm sure if you will get it.

And for your knowledge, first ever suicide bobbing by global takifiri group was in 1995. Not to mention hundreds of sectarian killings before 9/11. The takfiri ideology is simply evil to its core, doesn't matter what america does or does not do. It's better we take them on now and stop their cross border attacks into Afghanistan or all of Pakistan will feel the heat not only from American's retaliation but the Taliban/Jihadi brutality.

It is our war now. Come on, pick a side.

Oh damn.

Re: Blast near Jinnah Super Market Islamabad

This didn't happen today.

That's what I am saying. All this didnt start with the peace deal.... these things have roots far before that.

I am just saying that we blame Taliban all the time. We left the people of FATA uneducated and economically dependent on illegal trades. You just need to take a look at the poverty and desperation of people living in the north to know why they are so gullible and can easily subscribe to the 'evil ideology'.

We sponsored them. We have ourselves to blame. The evil ideology becomes stronger as we suddenly take a u-turn and declare a war.

My only point is that indiscriminate killing of 'suspected militants' is never going to solve the problem. It did not solve in Vietnam or Cambodia or Palestine. It only worsens the problems.
