Re: Iran accuses pakistan of suicide attack
In my opinion that is even more reason to be sceptical of pro Iran groups. Their rhetoric sounds too similar to JI and JUI.
remember, that i was talking of the pre-Zia era when Jamat e Islami and Tehreek were both fairly settled organisations with pragmatic leadership and a practical vision to work for...... now its not the case anymore and the political environment of our country is not the same either.......... religious parties are in dire need of reform and somehow need to pull back the educated brains back to their ranks (which looks like a mission impossible at the moment).

I mean defend Iran violently by attacking pro Saudi groups in Pakistan. Shias in Pakistan have already been under attack from the pro Saudi group already (like Parachinar etc). They, also, have perpetrated violence at times (again, like in Parachinar). Attacks on Iran and now with Iran publicly taking a stand means escalation in violence in Pakistan.

Ajju, go back to the 90s when Afghanistan was ruled by Taliban...........there was a time when tension between Iran and Taliban was at its peak...........it was after the Talibans had kidnapped and killed the Iranian ambassador and i think the massacre at the Mazar i Sharif had also taken place by that time..........there was a lot of talk of Iran attacking Taliban but the Iranian supreme leader came out and said that despite Taliban being on the wrong, Iran will not kill their fellow Muslims as it only serves the interests of the enemies of Islam........
u must observe every group that is in good terms with Iran..........Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, SCIRI in Iraq, TNFJ in Pakistan, Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt etc.........promote cooperation and unity not only between the Muslims but also the local Christians, Jews, Druze and the other minorities.........Sunnis and Shias have lived for the past 14 centuries with theological and history related differences and as i tried to say before, both branches very clearly reaffirm the point that its prohibited to kill another human being, let alone another person who utters the name of Allah and his Prophet (irrespective of whats in his heart)..................it is neither Shia, nor Sunnis but a Najidi group that says its not only OKAY TO KILL in the name of God but a service to God...........this group might think that its doing a great service to Islam but they are the ones providing all the opportunities for our enemies............I'd recommend a book: Two faces of Islam by Stephen Schwartz...
What happened in Parachinar was an act complete war on the Shias........all the roads leading to them were closed down and they were attacked from the hilltops.......they fought a defensive battle against an invading force........you have on record a Lashkar e Jhangvi molvi sahab, whose video can be found on the youtube, saying that this time the shias escaped but the next time they wont!
