Re: Who are these people?

You are giving it sectarian color when arson happens almost every time there is a major incident.
It was not about sectarianism. Besides, people who looted can not be proven to belong to any particular sect.
And if looting continued then it was due to police negligence. So police is to be blamed for loss of property.

Burnt alive in KFC

2005-05-31 08:55

Karachi - Six people were burnt alive when a mob protesting a suicide bombing of a mosque torched an outlet of an American fast food chain in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, police said on Tuesday.

Police and firemen recovered the bodies of six Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) employees after an angry mob set the restaurant on fire late on Monday following a suicide attack on a Shiite Muslim mosque here that left five people dead.

“Their bodies were found during the search of KFC,” city police chief Tariq Jamil said.

Four of the victims at the restaurant were burned to death while the two others froze to death after taking refuge in a refrigeration unit at the restaurant, senior police official Manzoor Mughal said.

Three attackers stormed the minority Shiite Madinat-ul-Ilm mosque in the middle-class Gulshan neighbourhood during evening prayers late on Monday.
One of the assailants died in a gunbattle with police while the other blew himself up and the third sustained a serious head injury in a fall, Jamil said.
Hospital officials said the man was unconscious but in stable condition.
Police believe his survival could be the key to the investigation into suicide bombings.

Two worshippers and one policeman also died in the attack, while 21 people, four of whom were in a critical condition, were hospitalised.
Angry protesters went on the rampage after the attack, setting fire to two gas stations and a number of vehicles in addition to the KFC outlet.

It is unclear why the restaurant was targeted, although it is heavily associated with the United States. and rioters in Pakistan typically attack symbols of Washington while on a rampage. Anti-US feeling grew in Pakistan after President General Pervez Musharraf allied the country with Washington in the war on terror after September 11 2001.

The attack on the mosque came just three days after 19 people, most of them Shiites, died in a suicide bomb blast at a Muslim shrine near the capital Islamabad.
Thousands of Shiite and majority Sunni Muslims have been killed in sectarian bloodshed in Pakistan in recent years, with attacks including bomb blasts, suicide bombings and targeted killings. Last year 160 people were killed. - AP/AFP

Burnt alive in KFC: News24: World: News

Like I said, it is very common everywhere to burn and torch vehicles after any major incident.
This particular attack on KFC may have been from anti-American zealots like those from Jamat i Islami. Who knows?

On Monday morning when the news of Haideri’s killing broke out, enraged crowds of his followers came on streets in various cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Khairpur, Checha Watni and hurled stones on the vehicles.

The angry mob also set a bus and vehicle set on fire in Nagan Chowrangi area of Karachi. Due to firing of unidentified men, the vehicle of fire brigade could not be reached in the area to extinguish the fire.

The shopkeepers had to shut their shops and business activities after incidents of firing in North Karachi, Nagan Chowrangi, North Naziamabad and Quaid-e-Abad areas while the business activities could not be started in various areas of Karachi.

This is where you don't admit the crimes committed by 'mourners'.

Re: Who are these people?

I would say the most blame falls on police for not stopping them.

That's what I am trying to say. Pakistanis in general are moderate and tolerant, they will not stoop to that level. But some people don't admit crimes of people because they belong to their sect.

Then go condemn Iranian government. This is Pakistan.

Burning property is due to the pathetic third world mentality of Pakistani people, whoever they are.
It's no surprise that we Pakistanis are still living with one of the worst of economies.

TPakistanis in general are moderate and tolerant, they will not stoop to that level.

Many examples of people I quoted of people burning properties were all Pakistanis. Talibanic fasaadis who consider anyone disagreeing with them deserving to die are also Pakistanis.
People who burnt shops after Ashura blast were also Pakistanis. Also people who started this mayhem by killing more than 40 peaceful people on that day were also Pakistanis.
Yesterday, 37 people were killed in Karachi alone. Is this tolerance you think?
90 people were killed in Lakki Marwat. People who did that were tolerant people?

Today Paksitan’s security is in ruins. You think this due to tolerance of people?

Stop being personal. It is YOU who divide people in sects. I see every act of people as an act of Pakistanis.
