Pakistan: Shi'ite leader assassinated

Sunni/Shi'ite Jihad Update. From AKI, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

Islamabad, 21 Sept. (AKI) - A Shiite Muslim religious leader was killed by unidentified gunman in Pakistan's eastern province of Punjab on Thursday, according to a report on the Chinese Xinhua news agency. Men on motorcycles opened fire on Syed Bashir Hussain Bukhari, 85, in the main market in Sargodha, 175 kilometres north-west of Lahore, Punjab's capital. Bukhari was seriously injured in the attack and died later in hospital, local sources said. No one has claimed responsibility for the killing.

Xinhua reported that as news spread of the assassination, people demonstrated in the streets to protest the killing. Tyres were reportedly burnt and roads blocked.

Local police believe that the attack may have been caused by sectarianism. The Shiite religious leaders surivived an attempt on his life in 1994. He was a witness in a case in which two prominent Shiite leaders were killed in a terrorist attack in 1994.

One down....

Why isn't Sadr in Iraq taken out ?

Like three years ago. This puke has his own army ?

Madness.

Send in Jimmy Catta to "negotiate" with him

Local police believe that the attack may have been caused by sectarianism.

This may be true, usually, when the terrorists attack, they try to kill several at one time.

He could be the victim of vigilante justice, sometimes people do take the law into their own hands and in the land of lawlessness, where everyone owns an AK47, people die.

No mention is made as to whether or not this was a Muslim of the Radical type. I have observed, however, many of the older clerics favor the more violent aspects of Islam.

Once again, you see Muslims killing Muslims. One has to wonder why anyone wants to be one.

Actually, it is in iraq that they are somewhat able to unleash their creative imaginations upon each other. At present they seem to be somewhat hindered by the presence of the allied forces, but one can imagine what the scene there will be like once we leave.

P.S. - In this link they also mention that records are being broken.

when muslims are left to themselves, they turn on each other and kill each other faster than you can say allah babba. l wonder if those US generals could take a lesson from here, when you see a funeral of taliban?

Islam claims there will be peace once the whole world converts. This is a wonderful example of that kind of peace in action.

He probably wiped his butt with the wrong hand and Allah took his revenge.

Ain't that the truth. Too bad we can't all step back and behold how peaceful this bunch is when the infidels aren't around. If only they could wipe out one another so the rest of us can live in peace.

Shia in Pakistan need to respond with attacks. They should work to get Iran to invade Pakistan, and maybe import Hizbullah terrorists and Moqtada al Sadr to Pakistan, so that they can all take on the Sunni. Let the Pakis handle that.

Not likely to happen, but the Shia need to implement their eye for an eye policy.

Punjabis strike yet again.

Most of islamic terrorism can be traced to

Punjabi-iran-Arab axis of evil.

The sunni punjabis are murdering minority shias mostly sindhis and urdu speaking mohajirs for decades now.

Punjabi terrorist intelligence agency ISI is the epicentre for all these jihad. Punjabi-Arab axis has been waging a most evil war against people around the world.

Balochis. sindhis, kashmiris and Indians have to be liberated from punjabi terror.

Infidel Pride,
Much of what you say, and Mr. Fitzgerald holds the same opinion, can be achieved by the withdrawal of forces from iraq. There will be mayhem in that part of the world, and it will inevitably spill into the neighbouring countries, all of them either shia/sunni.

There is this nutjob now, blaming people from Punjab. What do I do with him ? I ask because I did not know that chicken was an apostate, and I wasted a lot of JW bandwidth on him. Had I known he was a muslim, I would have understood the insanity immediately and not bothered to counter his rantings. Now this nut blames people from the province of Punjab, when islam is the problem.

There are thousands of hindus in balochistan.

Balochi hindus have been murdered in broad daylight by Al Qaida and Punjabis.

Balochis are fighting for liberation from Punjab.

General Hamid Gul, Khurshid Kasuri these are all Punjabi terrorists who under the banner of islam have waged a global jihad against US and oppressed minorities of Pakistan.

Pakistan's minorities are happy to pursue a living, but will punjabis let them live.

Please go to Balochvoice to protest against jihad and Punjabi-Arab terror.

Punjabi crimes against humanity must be exposed.

Punjabis created Taliban and are supporting them from Pakistan.

My humble request to you is to stop criticizing me and making personal comments like "nut job" and "troll". I have not made any personal remarks against you and never will.
I want to maintain cordial relations with all good human beings.

Your mother and sister have not gone through the torture at the hands of punjabi-arab evil.
Your children have not faced mutilation at the hands of punjabis.

Please understand the plight of sindhis, balochis, and kashmiris. So much blood has flowed.

Punjabis call themselves, martial, warriors, brave.

Is rapine and slaughter of women and children noble and brave?

let them fight the balochis and sindhis and even the Indians rajputanis, gurkhas and we will see who is brave.

Punjab-Saudi are epicentres of global islamic jihad and please support the independence struggle of balochis.

mystichealer,
I know that atrocities are being inflicted on the Balooch. The muslims of West Punjab region who control pakistan are doing it. The U.N. and Human Rights people are silent. No one expects them to speak out for the Baloochs.

I also know that the Baloochees are Persians who were converted at swordpoint. And the atrocities that you mention in your post are classic islamic ones, and cannot be attributed to a particular region alone, in this case Punjab.

In case you did not know, the Balooch are being supported from outside by, let us say, "several people".

Balochis are not persians. Persians are murdering balochis in Iran too.

And I know that Punjabis are savages. I cannot deny that which I have seen with my own eyes everyday and blood boiled.

Many muslims are peaceful, such as ahmadiyas. Do you know many balochis follow sufi-mystic traditions which preach equality of religions and do not consider Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as final.

Punjabis are very selfish and tricksters. They are experts in fleecing your land and wealth from you.

Punjabis illegally construct shops and buildings on Balochi lands including the gwadar port and I was told by Indian friends that,

Punjabis have same habits in Delhi to constuct illegal shops and homes. Many delhi-wallahs are fed up with Punjabi tyranny.

One friend of mine was killed by a faulty electric iron made by corrupt punjabi illegal shopkeeper.

So please support balochi human rights.

How can we ignore when Punjabi army is sheltering and helping Osama bin laden and then blaming US and Hamid Karzai for all this.

I hope you realise that all these "religions" are man-made! In my view, Mohammed was never a prophet. He was no more a human like you and I.

Moses, Christ, Buddha and the others were actually good souls who wanted mankind to progress towards enlightenment and never ending knowledge (Nirvana).

Throw away the binding shackles (RELIGIOUS BOOKS AND EDIFICES) that hold you bound to your "shitty" life. Follow the path of righteousness to all around you and take the best out of the books that have been thrust on us. Dump the rest of the sayings in all the books.

Change is permanent. Try progressing towards a new life.
