Islamophobes murder 43 with suicide bomb at Shi'ite Muslim rally -- no, wait...

Actually, it was more Sunni-Shi'ite jihad. But don't expect the UN and the OIC and CAIR and the rest of them to start talking about Muslim-on-Muslim violence instead of focusing upon a chimerical "Islamophobia."

QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber struck a rally in the Pakistani city of Quetta Friday, killing up to 43 people in the second major attack this week, piling pressure on a government struggling with a flood crisis.

Yes, I'm sure the Pakistanis are going to get right on that.

The Lahore blasts, which killed 33 people, were the first major attack since flood waters tore through the country. "It's revenge for the killings of innocent Sunnis," a spokesman for Qari Hussain Mehsud, mentor of the Taliban's suicide bombers, told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location.

Islamist charities, some of them linked to militant groups, have at the same time joined in the relief effort for the millions affected by the worst floods in the nation's history.

U.S. officials are concerned that the involvement of hardline groups in flood relief will undermine the fight against militancy in Pakistan as well Afghanistan....
