Violence explodes across North Karachi

So when MQM does it, its 'self defence' and when someone else does it, its barbarism... nice one!

Yes, self defense because MQM did not go into pashtun areas and kill them. This started by firing from pashtuns on mohajir area. And unlike taliban, MQM is not using Pakistani territory to attack another country or wage war against the state.

^ Yes ofcourse... self defense for a couple of decades now.

BTW.. i always wondered, when would people calling themselves 'mohajirs' adopt a Pakistani, or for that matter an Indian, identity.

We will adopt being "Pakistani" when pashtuns, sindhis, balochs, punjabis adopt being pakistani instead of being members of punjab students association, baloch students organization, pashtun students federation, jeay sindh qaumi mahaz, imran khan bachao tehreek etc.

Re: Violence explodes across North Karachi

Great background info on previous and current Karachi violence by the great Haider Abbas Rizvi.

Well atleast they relate to a geographical area in Pakistan.

But its good that you accepted that MQM uses terrorism, albeit for 'self defense'.
