Re: Doctor who converted to Islam and was working for Red Cross beheaded in Balochist

Is it not sad to see a 60 year-old aid worker being brutally murdered for helping the underprivileged people of Pakistan? Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Dr. Khalil Dale. Do we not see terrorists target aid workers who by choice go help suffering humanity in remote places of the world? Dr. Dale was one of those who had served in many Muslim countries before he came to Pakistan.

What has surprised us is that even when the TTP claimed responsibility for this horrendous act of brutality we still see some who indulge in conspiracy theories and blame CIA, RAW and MOSSAD. Do we not disrespect the dead with our conspiracy theories and give credence to these brutal killers? Is it not time to go after these killers with support from all sides so brutality for any reason is stopped once and for all? In the last few months the terrorists’ kidnapping and atrocities have increased. It is more important now to overcome our differences and focus on the common goals of eliminating the terrorist threat in the region, which can only be done if we look forward together as partners.

Indeed Dr. Dale was a true Muslim … that is what you are saying isn’t it? What I see is no motive … There is absolutely no motive for the TTP to have killed this man … If anything he was probably involved in helping out save their lives … It appears he was an easy target for those who want to continue war in that region - in which case there is no conspiracy required to conclude that there are only two groups who want to war in that region … that is TTP and yourselves …

Strange how you can group people - you choose to claim the title of hero and call the opposition the enemy deserving of your wrath … however, the most of us view you and your enemy as people lusting for violence and the rest of us are spectators and the unlucky ones are collateral fall out.
