Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

Do you agree with the facts mentioned in the article below:

From the ruins of Awaran: The secular Baloch – The Express Tribune

“Balochistan comes first. Everything else comes next,” Muhammad Aslam said. “We Baloch are liberal and secular. We prioritise our culture and heritage rather than other things,” he added.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

The purpose of this thread is not to hear these ready made 'hidden hand' tags. The first line in OP says demographic and cultural aspects.. I just wanted to know these reasons and I think OP is quite clear in this aspect. Like I posted an article which talks about social isolation of Hazra Shia in Quetta. If you can add such information, please go ahead. I really don't want to turn this thread as 'resident Pakistani sab acha hai VS ABCD / BBCD view kuch acha nahin hai thing.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

So you are clueless.
Just as I thought.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

If you say so :@:

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

According to some Baloch nationalists the state is raising sectarian groups in the province to neutralise them who otherwise are secular.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

Dont know. Mastung is insurgency-hit area, its here and chaghai where mostly zaireen are targeted. Some sunni balochs of Iran are said to involved in killing of shias, the name of organization is jundullah which is sectarian as well as separatist.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

One question, are all pashtuns Sunni?

That means ISI is not doing its job in Baluchistan property as it also has reasons to exist :)

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

I think majority is.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

As far as I know all Pashtuns are Sunni except the Turi tribe.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

Few things that comes to mind

  • Iranian posecution of sunnis may have a direct impact, as shia here are easier targets and killers can get ways easily.
  • Sunni killings are not reported in media like shia killings.
  • Proxy war of gulf states and iran on sectarian grounds, a reason could be to keep balochistan destable and gawadar in effective.
  • Groups like LeJ/Jundallah are never destroyed completely so that they can be usd to create a new enemy any time.
  • What hazaras did previously , i have heard so many stories of hazars killing sunnis in quetta, not from madressa students but from office collaagues there.

and bangash

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

How can one distinguish if certain person is shia or sunni?

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

Isolation of one group make it prominent like mentioned in article about 'Hazaras in Quetta'. Otherwise, participation in rituals and vehicles destined for Iran via Balochistan are easily distinguishable.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

So, its about tribal culture of revenge? You once killed our people or your people are killing our people in some other part of the world, so get this as 'tit for tat'.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

^ I don't understand this analogy too. Iran is killing Baloch based upon their ethnicity (nothing to do with sect per se). Situation is the same in Pakistan, the Baloch are persecuted although they are Sunnis in a Sunni majority state. How can one kill Hazaras (Shias) by alleging that they are Iranians? Another thing I can't understand is that why the state is hesitant to take action against the sectarian groups in the province? Is this the blowback of Pakistan-US proxy war in Iran (in the shape of Jundullah)? The state has its own goals Shia killing is just the collateral damage.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

To understand this issue Jundullah needs to be analysed.

Re: What are the reasons behind Shia Genocide in Balochistan?

in reality its actually a proxy war between Saudi Arabia salafi wahabi and iran Shia ,
