Re: Lets burn KFC
One of the employees tried to hide in a refrigerator and his body was found with a cell phone that displayed a missed call to his wife. May Allah bless his and the other 5 victims that perished their souls.
Re: Lets burn KFC
Is this really mob mentality? Do they really not realize what they're doing, killing innocents because of anger? We all get angry and cross our limits but how often do we kill others? Isn't this more of planned idiocy? Or what rest of the world would call terrorist attack, why don't we call it what it truly is and deal with is the US way? Smoke them out.
Having read interviews of a couple of leaders of such organizations, one can safely assume that talking them to senses is not a possibility. Government can't really help unless ppl are willing to help the government in securing Pakistan. We'd be up in arms against the president and PM if they even suggested that Islamic teachings across Pakistan have to be controlled and approved by well educated mullahs, not just by someone with a foot long beard to prove his holiness. All the hatred spread against others had to backfire sooner or later. Sad to see so many lives being wasted for no greater cause.
Even dumber is the fact that now government has to shift focus from economical progress back to a handful idiots.
Re: Lets burn KFC
this is pathetic...these ppl call themselves islamic and mullah and yet the only thing they do is eat (5 times a day), sleep, and bomb places ....now what does KFC has to do with this....these ppl make the whole world think that the only thing that muslims know is suicide bombings, burning mosques, burning KFC's etc. etc.
verizon i have been asking a list of questions about what is considered jihad or not but get no answers...I wanted to add to the list of my questions...
Is burning KFC, Mc Donalds, Pizza Hut also considered jihad?
Re: Lets burn KFC
May those who died rest in peace..
They sacrificed their lives to save others
By Azfar-ul-Ashfaque
KARACHI: The six employees of a fast food centre in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, who lost their lives when the outlet was torched after a suicide attack at a nearby Imambargah on Monday, had a chance to save their lives but instead of doing so they helped their customers and other colleagues in safe evacuation, according to the information gathered from police and company officials.
“We are feeling guilty on the killing of six employees of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). They all were innocent and we feel that we are responsible for their death,” said a top-ranking police official, requesting not to be named.
The official said that there was no doubt that those who carried out the suicide attack were all terrorists but the question was what we called those who torched KFC outlet which resulted in killing of six innocent employees.
Police officials said that soon after the suicide attack unknown persons took to streets and disturbed law and order situation. A group of youths started pelting stones on the nearby KFC restaurant, some of them stormed into the building and started looting cash from customers and snatched jewellery from women customers. They threw petrol on floor and other furniture, set the building on fire and managed to escape.
In the meantime, the ill-fated KFC employees started helping their customers in safe evacuation. They tried to save themselves but it was too late; four of them fainted due to suffocation while other two managed to enter a cold storage of the restaurant, the police official said. They were frozen to death, he said adding: “I pay tribute to them. Had we known that they were inside, we would have tried our best to save their lives. I admit my failure,” said the sombre looking official.
Sindh Home minister Rauf Siddiqui told a press conference on Tuesday that what happened at the KFC was not a reaction of people. “Criminals had stormed there, they started looting people and snatched jewellery from women. It was a painful incident and we have reports that it was carried out deliberately. Some of the criminals involved were arrested but it is premature to comment further,” he said.
“We were not allowed to open fire on miscreants and even yesterday we were directed not to lob teargas on the protestors, as it could aggravate the situation,” said a senior police official.
However, talking to The News, Chief Executive Officer of KFC Pakistan Rafiq Rangoonwala said: “The six employees were trapped in the inferno while saving lives of other people and colleagues. Their death was an outcome of an inhumane act but what they (employees) did, reflected humanity. The martyred were not Shiia or sunni… They all were humans. What one could get by playing with their lives… is this the way to show their anger,” he questioned.
A KFC press release stated: “From the information available at this time, exactly few minutes after the suicide bombing at the Imambargah a mob was at our doorstep. As an automatic response we closed our ground floor shutters to ensure the safety of our customers, expecting that the mob would disperse. Ground floor shutters were broken and gasoline sprayed on the floor and furniture, and torched. Our crew valiantly and without any concerns for their lives tried to ensure that the customers were evacuated through the rooftop and other possible means.”
It said: "We wish to reinstate our factual position, ie we only posses the franchise rights for KFC, but are a completely Pakistani company, in terms of shareholders, owners and employees. Yet we are continually made a target whatever the cause. We employ over 1,500 direct employees and numerous dependents and associated suppliers and vendors and play a critical part in the local economy.
Re: Lets burn KFC
if you would have stayed in Pakistan Veri, I'd have loved to see your mentality then... American kiya agaye.. pata nahi kiya kiya baqwaas nikaalthay ho.
Re: Lets burn KFC
This sad incident is an example of 'mob rule' that happens everywhereRiots with burning,looting happen all over the world,including US.
In US , among other things, for some reason,celebrating a sports team success is often a reason fro idiots to trash buildings,cars and general rioting.
Re: Lets burn KFC
6 dead workers is baqwaas. I can see your mentality at play, keep it up.
P.S Is that brit mentality or Paki?
Re: Lets burn KFC

Re: Lets burn KFC
Verizon
Mosques, Gurduwaras, Hindu Temples were burned in US after 911. what do you call such actions and people. Every country has her retards so what if pakistan has 10 % of the US.
Re: Lets burn KFC
u must have confused US with Europe.
While I am not disputing that such incident can never happen, but I would liek to see some links of such incidents in the last 5 years, where ppl get killed in such riots.
Re: Lets burn KFC
Oh yeah ok I must have been sleeping when that happened. Can you please provide me with links where that happened. I want state, city and the reason.
Re: Lets burn KFC
I didn't hear of any burning of religious places, just read about them being vandalized with grafiti, windows being smashed into, pig blood being splattered in mosques, etc. Sikhs (as well as Muslims) were also the victims of attacks by some redneck hillbillies.
Re: Lets burn KFC
I am not for burning businesses or people in any sort of retaliation, what I wanted to point out was that KFC happens to be the closest business and this KFC happens to be in my parent’s neighborhood, they told me that many shops were burnt down as well… But people here are thinking that KFC got burnt cuz it was a US business, thats not the real reason, it was simply mob mentality.
Re: Lets burn KFC
Sorry I didn’t know you were appointed by GOD to judge me. I don’t “glorify” most of the “heroes” that are glorified in history taught in Pakistan, in case you are lost any further, thought I’d tell you.
Re: Lets burn KFC
So then there really is no point to this thread. The people who burned down the KFC and other stores did out of anger at the government which cannot rein in these terrorists. Can’t really blame them. If I was angry enough at a corrupt government, I would participate in some anarchy too. Maybe the government will take notice now as a result of dead KFC and other store employees.
Re: Lets burn KFC
Now u know.
You won’t have any moral position to condemn American invasion of Iraq, if u don’t have the guts to condemn invasion by Khulfa-e-rashadeen and Indian/Persian msulim rulers. It is as simple as that.
Re: Lets burn KFC
Let me know when you find WMDs, until then 
Re: Lets burn KFC
Well, lets say Americans r there to convert the whole country. Anything wrong with that?
Re: Lets burn KFC
Stop using your imaginations. If you really want to diss Khulafa'e'Rashideen go to Religion forum, US invaded Iraq for WMDs, period.
Re: Lets burn KFC
I am just dissing u for ur hypocrisy and lies
