^^^

it is all the fault of these impure textbooks. Pious mulims in the Islamic Republic are being led astray and are unable to control their urges, resulting in raping anything that moves.

There could be another explanation that the principal and his gang were preparing the nanha for jihad and per fatwa were simply enlarging to hold the bum material. Hence it is halal.

I am also amused with Shariah law concept of Qisas, where the criminal is 'pardoned' by the accuser. I guess in this case the principal and gang would like to explore the possibility of Kiss-ass. AoA!

The death toll in the above demonstration of the IEDMubarak variant of the IEDology of Pakistan targeting a place of worship used by followers of Christism, has climbed to 56.

Naturally all us Kaafir Dhimmi’s are required to believe that Momin Mohammaddens had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this outrage as Mohammaddenism is “The Religion of Peace” and any suggestion otherwise is a Hanood / Yehudi / Nasara plot to malign the Mohammadden religion and Pakistan:

Drone-acharya sends 6 moo-jahids to their 72
MIRANSHAH: At least six people were killed in a US drone strike on a suspected militant compound in North Waziristan on Sunday, officials said. The attack took place in Shawal , about 55 kilometres west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district, along the Afghan border. “US drones fired four missiles into a militant compound. At least six militants were killed and three others were wounded,” a security official told AFP. A second security official confirmed the attack and death toll.
The officials said the identities of those killed were not yet clear........

Suicide attack on Pakistani church leaves dozens dead
Officials say worshippers were targeted as they left church in Peshawar

A suicide bomb attack on a historic church in north-western Pakistan has killed at least 60 people and wounded more than 120, officials said, in one of the worst assaults on the country's Christian minority in years.

The bombing underlines the threat posed by Islamic extremists as the government seeks a peace deal with domestic Taliban militants.

It occurred as worshippers were coming out of the church service in Peshawar city to get a free meal of rice offered on the front lawn, said a top government administrator, Sahibzada Anees.

"There were blasts and there was hell for all of us," said Nazir John, who was at the church with at least 400 other worshippers. "When I got my senses back, I found nothing but smoke, dust, blood and screaming people. I saw severed body parts and blood all around."

Survivors wailed and hugged each other in the wake of the blasts. The white walls of the All Saints church were pockmarked with holes probably caused by ball bearings or other metal objects contained in the bombs to cause maximum damage. Blood stained the floor and was splashed on the walls. Plates of rice were scattered across the ground.

The attack was carried out by a pair of suicide bombers, said the police officer Shafqat Malik. Authorities found their body parts and were trying to determine their age, he said.

The number of casualties from the blasts was so high that the hospital was running out of caskets for the dead and beds for the wounded, said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a former information minister for the surrounding Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, who was on the scene.

"What have we done wrong to these people?" asked one of the wounded, John Tariq, referring to the attackers. "Why are we being killed?"

The dead included several women and children, said Sher Ali Khan, a doctor at a hospital in Peshawar where the victims were being treated.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion is likely to fall on one of the country's many Islamic militant groups. Islamic militants have been blamed for previous attacks on the Muslim country's Christian minority, as well as Muslim groups they consider heretics.

Islamic militants have carried out dozens of attacks across the country since Nawaz Sharif became prime minister in June, even though he has made clear that he believes a peace deal with the largest group, the Taliban, is the best way to tamp down violence in the country.

Pakistan's major political parties endorsed Sharif's call for negotiations earlier this month. But the Taliban have said the government must release militant prisoners and begin pulling troops out of the north-west tribal region that serves as their sanctuary before they will begin talks.
The timing of the Paki attack and the Kenyan mall massacre perhaps is not coincidental.After all all major global terror attacks somehow have a Paki connection and AlQ appears to be still operating out of Pak.

Pakistani terror trainer behind Nairobi attack?
A Pakistani-origin man is believed to be the security and training chief of Al Qaeda linked Shahab group that carried out the horrific attack at Westgate mall in Nairobi killing at least 59 people. Abu Musa Mombasa, a Pakistani citizen, serves as Shabaab's chief of security and training, the Long War Journal had said in a 2010 report.

Kenyan troops were locked in a fierce firefight with Somali militants inside the Nairobi shopping mall today, in a final push to end a siege that has left 59 dead, including two Indians, and wounded 200 others with an unknown number of hostages still being held.

Somalia's Al Qaeda-inspired Shebab rebels said the carnage at the part Israeli-owned complex was in retaliation for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia, where African Union troops are battling the Islamists.

Meanwhile, the Twitter account of Somalia's Shabab rebels was suspended yesterday after they used the site to claim responsibility for the attack.

However, the group seems to have launched a new twitter account @HSM-PressOffice.

The Shabab's previous account, @HSMPress, was suspended in January after it posted photographs of a French commando they killed and threatened to execute Kenyan hostages.

Not to be deterred, they opened another account, @HSMPress1, but were again suspended earlier this month after threatening Somalia's president.

The group had issued a series of messages on Twitter yesterday, claiming its fighters were behind an attack.
One more jewel in the crown for suwaristan. :lol: BTW, in all the halla gulla of Peshawar blast, the drone attack claiming 6
seems to be a side issue.

Islam is religion of peace only for those who willingly submit to islams sadistic demands.

Killing of even one human is like killing of humanity. Yes, but non-believers are not humans. And when a true human (Muslim) is killed the Islamic community will respond as if the non-believer declared war over entire Islam.

There is no firm indication that the militants are (some or all) of Somali ethnicity. On the contrary, one survivor said an Arab looking man changed his clothes and exited with the survivors. The Kenyan government has also studiously avoided mentioning that Somalis were involved - although there is a general assumption among the public that the terrorists are Somalis. By two Indians dead, HT must mean Indian citizens; there are at least 3 people of Indian origin who have lost their lives that I know of personally. Almost certainly there are more, one photograph I've seen shows at least 6 bodies loaded on the back of a pick-up, of which 4 seem Indian origin, and two are white...

77 KIA is the latest tally in the church attack. we can expect 2X that number as injured. probably the biggest minority massacre there in quite some time.

Considering how vulnerable we are, I would expect pukes to plan such an attack in any of the malls in one of the big cities in India. A major attack is oing overdue..

The training chief of Al Shabab the group suspected in Kenya attack is Pakistani. Many others in the group are Pakistani or trained in Pakistan.

The attack is very similar to Mumbai attacks. Trained terrorists storming posh areas and inflicting casualties using automatic weapons. Also a multi day attack to garner maximum publicity.

I will not be surprised if this is a Pakistan jihad factory product and is a dry run for more attacks of a similar nature - not just against Kenya.

Reminds of probe in terrorist attacks of 26/11 still stuck with terrorstanis throwing tantrums while discussions on Indus water treaty goes on. All pappi jhappi and discussions are to have cover of civility and avoid prompt counter actions. Another country would dismember such a country in no time and destroy troubles at its roots.

Pure Pakistani and Indian Pakistani lawmakers back sustained dialogue among themsleves
They said there was an urgent need to address the critical issue of rising water scarcity in both the countries. Acknowledging that the Indus Water Treaty was the best means for resolving any possible differences relating to water resources, the parliamentarians urged the two governments to jointly examine issues relating to climate change and environment impact assessment and to consider technologies of efficient use of water in agriculture and to substantially improve yields.

Schools face moral policing
It is an unfortunate testament of the times, that the least well-informed and most intellectually unsound have started to dictate the future course of education for our younger generation. Starting with the host's personal experiences of "parenting", and quickly turning into a lynching of a private school, a television personality on Tuesday made every effort to portray modern classrooms as dens of lasciviousness, rather than places of learning. Offended that impressionable young minds were being taught ‘obscene’ subjects, such as the reproductive process in science, the show would have been comical, had the host’s indignation not been designed to inspire perceived offence. And successfully done so.Moving on to a series of calls, overwrought parents were invited to chime in with their troubled opinions. The subject under fire for this segment was Comparative Religion. While these parents took the opportunity to obfuscate, protest and generally express their disdain for the new course, they were swift to point out that they themselves were entirely respectful of faiths other than Islam – apparently, as long as they weren’t being taught to their children.If one is to attempt to parse the meaning of the show host’s complaints fairly, it would appear that he insists on religious education being imparted without fail in private schools, as a course subject. Each student to study their own religion, and no other. Well and good. But what of religious texts sprinkled in compulsory history and literature textbooks, that are not necessarily pertinent to schoolchildren not of the Muslim faith? Is their right to a religious education in keeping with their beliefs not be protected? Had the host championed the restriction of religious education to only religious textbooks, perhaps he might have made more sense. Perhaps.

The second complaint, that the content of Science books, printed by the Cambridge school system; and in particular, the chapter about reproduction, was not suitable for children of that age, could also have been made with more grace, and with less plainly evidenced intention to cause mischief. It is worth asking what makes the host an authority on age-appropriate education? Why should a Cambridge experts’ assessment of the capability of a sixth-grader be questioned by a person with no experience in the field of education? Inciting fear that a scientific study of human biology is somehow the path to moral decreptitude can only be interpreted as a pitiful indictment of the talkshow host’s own state of mind. The implication that teaching Comparative Religion will undermine the moral fabric of society is an incorrect and irresponsible stoking of deeply sensitive religious sentiment. The host’s supercilious advice to the Principal of the school in question, “Don’t try to live on an island,” ought to be correctly interpreted as intimidation, and action taken against it as an incitement to violence.
The host’s protests, inspired more by a desire to titillate than anything else, have woefully been found worthy of inspection by the Punjab Education Minister. Pandering to an audience whose misdirected emotions have been deliberately riled, Rana Mashood’s statement that “obscene content would be removed from the syllabus” only reflects his ignorance of the issue. One wonders if the Minister has perused the books in question. It would be particularly worrying if the Punjab Education Minister’s delicate constitution was unable to tolerate lessons found appropriate for an eleven year old. The Chief Minister Punjab must step in, and stop this juvenile moral superiority contest, and instruct his ministers to be less susceptible to suggestion, by talkshow hosts who sell holy water sherbet on the side. Moral policing being imparted on television, and making its effect felt in the classroom with the government's help, is an ignoble prize for the PMLN to have won. The quality of political talent hosted by the party also comes into question, seeing the blusterous response by Rana Mashood to blatant provocation from a source of dubious professional credibility.

Fellows. This Dunya TV needs to be tracked -- is the mouth piece of talib sympathizers. Apparently people came on and said that in a country formed on the basis of religion such incidents (bombing of churches) should be expected.

Also #PlotAgainstPeaceTalks is trending. Apparently PTI morons think the church bombing is a YYY conspiracy to prevent peace talks (and eventual GUBO to talibs).

Killing of even one human is like killing of humanity. Yes, but non-believers are not humans. And when a true human (Muslim) is killed the Islamic community will respond as if the non-believer declared war over entire Islam.
Ramay JI, i mentioned this to you before, but you just don't listen. You are regurgitating Islamic propaganda! This line is nothing to do with the way you are interpreting it. IT has everything to do with jews. Because in the HK Mohammed mentioned that this was specifally ordained for the Jews!!!! This was not ordained anywhere for the Muslims! So yes for the Jews killing one innocent human was like killing Humanity, it was not ordained for the Muslims, and every Mullah knows that. But you are regurgitating that this was indeed ordained for Muslis, but for Muslims Kufr are not humans. This is ridiculous and fallacious.

LAHORE:

Police demolished minarets at an Ahmadi place of worship in Sialkot on Saturday, after a group of protesters threatened to do so themselves, The Express Tribune has learnt.

The police approached the community on Friday after a local cleric complained that three worship places for Ahmadis had features that resembled mosques, namely minarets and verses from the Quran written on the walls.

The minarets and verses were covered up, apparently to the police’s satisfaction, but a baying mob gathered at one worship place the next day and demanded that the minarets be torn down. The police did so. The group of protesters is now demanding that similar action be taken against two other worship places within a couple of days.

The cleric whose complaint led to the action told The Express Tribune that he had approached the police after he attended a Khatm-i-Nabuwwat Conference on September 7, marking the anniversary of the passage of anti-Ahmadi laws, where a speaker said that Ahmadis were not allowed to build minarets or use verses from the Quran at their places of worship.

Sections 298-B and 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code outlaw Ahmadis from calling their place of worship a masjid, claiming to be Muslims or preaching their faith to others.
AoA.
