Jihad-martyrdom bomber kills 27 outside Pakistani election rally

What happens when violent jihadists are confronted with democracy in action? This.

"Pakistan suicide blast kills 27: interior minister," from AFP (thanks to JE):

A suicide bomber has killed at least 27 people at an election rally in the northwestern town of Parachinar that borders Afghanistan, interior minister Hamid Nawaz told AFP on Saturday.

"It was a suicide attack, there were people outside the candidate's house and they were waiting for food when this man attacked. I have been told 27 people died and the number of injured is quite high," Nawaz said.

Waiting for food? There's a story hidden somewhere in that. Puts an Islamic twist on the slogan 'hunger kills'...

Just to spell this out: We are post-9/11, and our government is about to engage the United States military against European Christians who don’t want to live under Muslim rule.

Still the fastest growing religion?
How many work accidents?
How many "premature 'splosions"?

Strictly a demographic deal. Womens (that's a Nasseem-ism!) expected to birth until the 'pause.

BBC says 37 dead, but I suppose this too recent to have exact numbers.

At least now we can be assured that there won't be any riggings at the polls.

Or:

A mass murderer has killed at least 27 people at an election rally...

Violence is a form of 'legitimate' political debate, in any society dominated by devout muslims.
