Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder four with bomb in residential area

Apr 26, 2014 5:25 pm By Robert Spencer

pakistan blastRemember: if the steady violence that Islamic jihadists commit worldwide appalls you, you are the problem. You should sit back and say nothing about all this killing. If you speak out and say that the peaceful coreligionists of these Islam-motivated murderers should rein them in, you’re a greasy Islamophobe, trying to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few. “Lethal bombing hits Karachi amid Pakistan’s Taliban talks,” The Associated Press, April 25, 2014:

A powerful bomb exploded Friday in an upscale residential area of southern Pakistan, killing at least four people and wounding 25, authorities said.

The attack took place in the neighbourhood of Clifton in Karachi, the capital of southern Sindh province, senior police officer Abdul Khaliq Sheikh said. The bomb badly damaged several vehicles and a nearby multi-story building, he said.

Pakistani television stations showed the blast scene littered with broken glass and debris. Five of the wounded were in critical condition, said Dr. Seemi Jamali at the city’s Jinnah Hospital.

No one claimed responsibility, but the bombing was the latest in a series of gun and bomb attacks as the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tries to reach a peace deal with the Pakistani Taliban to end the violence that has killed thousands of people in recent years.

The attack also took place a day after a bomb targeting prominent police officer Shafiq Tanoli exploded in another area of Karachi, killing the officer and three others. The slain officer, who had survived several attempts on his life, was targeted for his active campaigning against terrorists.

Provincial Information Minister Sharjeel Memon told journalists that the bombers wanted to target government vehicles passing through the area. At least three vehicles bearing government plates were damaged in the bombing, but it was not unclear whether any government official was wounded, he said.

Karachi is a hiding place for local and foreign militants. Clashes between heavily armed ethnic and political groups are common there.

    Say, isn’t this the same government (I.S.I. included) that knowingly harbored Osama bin Laden and actively assists the Afghan Taliban?

    In the lonely dungeons of lost souls
    where pride and hate steals hope.
    Sing a kind song to heal those
    stung by the thorn of Islam’s rose.

    Pakistan will be totally destroyed by the militants that were created in the TENS OF THOUSANDS by Pak madrassahs.

    Pakistan will become an example of the destructive power of jihad! It will take 20 or 40 years to repair the damage!

    “..as the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tries to reach a peace deal with the Pakistani Taliban to end the violence..”

    You don’t make peace deals with terrorists, you hunt them down and bring them to justice. If they resist, you KILL them. Period.

    Islam is the insane, misogynistic religion of hate and the bane of the white man’s higher culture of civilization, pursuing its superiority with the single intent of a new world, one world order under Sharia.
    –
    White liberals and their liberal ideology, embraces, among other realities, the crocodile of diversity, included in that diversity is Islam.
    –
    The time has come, and the need has risen, for non-liberal, non-apostate whites, the planet Earth over, to consider a new path.
