Re: Six killed in police vehicle blast near D.I.Khan
^^ This is the start of a new wave of terrorism against Pakistan. It is time to stop treating Mullahs with kid-gloves. It is time to close down all the Mad-House-Russahs (Mudrussahs). It is time to shut down the printing of hate literature and put people like Qazi behind bars.
If this evil is allowed to grow instead of being nipped in the bud, we all will pay a huge price in the form of Mullah led death and destruction.
