Re: Karachi problem is bw Taliban and Muslims. It is not bw Urdu speakers and Pashtun

There may be large numbers but not more as many living in a single area. As I said above in the post right above this one.

**Urdu speakers overwhelmingly support MQM, and MQM is the worst enemy of Taliban extremists.
**And you would be naive to think that shias and barelvis are not targeted by them.

**Give me any reason why MQM would want to destabilize the very city they represent. It is stupid to think that MQM would have the policy to kill anyone, Pashtuns or others, and create chaos in the city.
**It serves NO purpose of MQM.

MQM are worse than the Taliban. More people are killed in Karachi than a whole province.

Maybe you need to htink outside of your box - the MQM will lose their hold on Karachi and Urdu speakers will become the second largest ethnic group after Pashtuns. The facist MQM party believes it has rights over Karachi. When they are no longer the largest ethnic group it will be of no help to the MQM at all.

Look at the history of the MQM - it is full of bloodshed.

Considering MQM rig their votes quite openly there is no evidence to suggest Urdu speakers support MQM overwhelmingly. When there are free and fair elections then one can make such bold statements.
