Islamophobes in Pakistan shut off cell phone service in anticipation of jihad attacks on Shi'ites

Oh, the hate! The bigotry! The profiling! The vicious Islamophobes in the Pakistani government are shutting down cell phone service in cities in four provinces, so as to forestall the possibility of their being used to set off jihad bombs targeting Shi'ite Muslims.

How dare these hate-filled Islamophobes imply that peaceful, tolerant Sunni Muslims would do such a thing!

"Pakistan Shuts Mobile Phone Services on Shiite Muslim Gathering," by Khurrum Anis for Bloomberg, January 3 (thanks to Twostellas):

Pakistan suspended mobile phone services in cities across all four provinces on a key date in the religious calendar for the country’s Shiite Muslims, a minority that has been repeatedly targeted by Sunni extremists.

Phone services in 39 cities will be suspended from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., the Dawn newspaper reported today, citing an official at the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority who it didn’t name. Mobile phones have been used in Pakistan to detonate explosives.

Processions are planned in the four provincial capitals, television channels reported, as Shiites commemorate Chehlum, which marks 40 days since the death anniversary of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Hussein.

Twenty-three people died when terrorists twice struck the event in 2010. A suicide bomber first rammed his motorbike into a bus carrying pilgrims in Karachi, and a hospital treating victims was later attacked.

A car bomb Dec. 30 struck a convoy of three buses bound for Shiite holy sites in neighboring Iran. The attack in the Mastung district of Baluchistan province triggered a fire in one of the vehicles killing at least 20 people, state-run Pakistan Television reported.

Attacks on Shiites are common in Pakistan, where the community accounts for about 15 percent of the country’s 200 million people. This year, militants linked to Pakistan’s Taliban movement have targeted Shiites from the ethnic Hazara community.

Pakistan has shut off cellular services at least three times since Sept. 21 when the nation protested an anti-Islam movie, demonstrations that left 11 people dead.

An up-and-coming stiff competitor to the Android phone will be the new Islamophone, the Zombi -- which will offer the unique app "Detonate to kill" (DTK). Also on the docket: the "Talaq X 3" divorce app; the "Slave Market" app (where at the flick of your thumb you can Preview Nubian, Filipino or White Slav slaves); the "Underage Sex Slave Dowry" app; the "Rumermonger" app that enables the Muslim to keep his finger on the pulse of the latest machinations by evil global Jewry; and the very important "Outsmart" app that enables the Muslim-on-the-go to elude CIA drones.

Also in the works is a way to convert your Zombi into a state-of-the-art digital miswak to clean your teeth with or to (lightly) beat your wives -- or, for the multi-tasking Muslim, both at the same time!

I hate the month of Muharam. There are two days in that month that are super important to Shai muslim
Ashura and Tasua. This whebn the third Imam, Husain that was, fought Muvieh a Sunni in order to claim the leadership of islam. But he was a f...ing idiot to say the least. he declared war with 72 people on an army of 1000nds and he got his ass handed to him.

But we were not allowed to turn off cell phone service in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing jihadists to kill off our troops! Our troops were served up to the global jihad to pick off, weaken, and kill for over ten years. All of our troops need to be brought back and stationed along our borders and NOT used as cannon fodder or to further Islamic conquest.

that is because we are infidels, jew, apes and pigs. so our blood is perfectly ok to shed. No?

This sort of thing didn't happen under Sadaam, as far as I know. I think this festival is the one where they bloody themselves.

"Oh, the hate! The bigotry! The profiling!"

Oh, they hate the TRUTH even more!

They didn't happen under Saddam, probably because he banned mass Shia gatherings in the first place.

Banned under Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime for fears it could foment rebellion, the event this year held special significance because it was the first time in 30 years Shiites were allowed to observe it.
