no problem…i am from Pakistan…i live overseas now but lived and saw the sectarian violence up close…lost 2 of my family members …
Your comments are quite unfair…Yes, Iranian revolution did trigger a massive response across many countries, specially in Pakistan where there is a big Shia population and culturally and geographically too we r quite close to Iran… but blaming Iranian revolution for the spread of arms, sectarianism and hatred is far from the truth…we all know where all that came from…I do not need to go over the reasons as i expect a knowledgeable person like u must know…may i know where are you from?
Plz provide me some more details about the 1980’s Quetta event that you ve mentioned…
Smaller Shia population pool in Pakistan???
are you saying there is lesser Shia babies being born in recent decades?
Decrease in funding due to economic decline???
huge amount of money gets sent from Pakistan to Iran and Iraq…its mainly not the other war round!
The main reason for Shia decline is… lack of good, quality leadership as many good leaders of the Shia community were assassinated (Arif Hussain Hussaini, Hasan Turabi) or left the country like Mohammad Bashir Najafi who is massively known and respected in Iraq but the Pakistani Shias hardly even know his name…
brother, according to some Western experts, Shias were the pioneers of the suicide attacks (re Lebanon)…
it will never ever be used by the Shias in Pakistan as doctrinally its a big NONO for a Shia to commit a suicide (and kill an innocent) unless under extreme conditions of a defensive war…
