But…but…a homemade clock! A 14-year-old boy! “Islamophobia!” To be concerned about the root causes of these ongoing murderous attacks would be “racist” and “bigoted.”
“Brazen Taliban attack on Pakistani military base kills 29,” by Riaz Khan and Zarar Khan, Associated Press, September 17, 2015:
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Suspected Taliban militants launched a brazen attack on a Pakistani military base on Friday, killing 29 people including 16 who were gunned down inside a mosque during prayers. The Pakistani army quickly blamed militants from neighboring Afghanistan, which Islamabad routinely accuses of harboring terrorists who launch attacks across their porous border.
The attack was a major blow to Pakistan’s military, which had stepped up operations against militants following a horrific Taliban attack last December at a Peshawar school that killed 150 people, mostly children. It also underscored the ability of the militants to stage spectacular attacks on targets linked to the country’s military and government.
All 13 attackers were killed after an hours-long firefight at the Badaber base on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar, army spokesman Gen. Asim Saleem Bajwa said. In addition to the dead, another 29 people were wounded.
More than 2,000 employees were on the base at the time of the attack, Bajwa said. The attackers first stormed the guard room and then tried to move toward its administrative block, but were stopped by security forces, he said.
The base was established in 1960s but in recent years has mostly been used as a residence for air force employees and officers from Peshawar….
The army says it has killed more than 3,000 militants so far in the North Waziristan offensive. The region was once considered to be the headquarters of the Pakistani Taliban, which has been targeting security forces and public places in an effort to topple the elected government to enforce a harsher version of Islam.

Pakistan created the crisis they are now fighting by imposing Sharia law ABOVE their constitution and by allowing the teaching of the jihad doctrine in hundreds of 12th century-style schools called ‘madrassahs’.
The madrassahs are JIHAD FACTORIES, but the Pakistan politicians are TERRORIZED by those who support them.
The madrassahs are like a RELIGIOUS MAFIA within Pakistan similar to the Mob in Italy. The Italians have PAID THE PRICE to weaken and undermine the Mafia in the blood of brave prosecutors and judges.
THE PAKISTANI POLITICIANS MUST DO THE SAME TO THE RELIGIOUS MAFIAS within Pakistan.

“Brazen Taliban attack” … indeed it was!
Imagine a militia in any country that routinely attacks police and military targets!
That’s called a CIVIL WAR!
Huck Folder says
There SHOULD be some interesting fallout.
Considering Pukistan’s ISI is supposed to be
closer to the Taliban than Siamese twins.
Maybe it’s time for the grunts, who are presumably
better armed than the ISI computer nerds,
to go through ISI HQ with the flamethrowers.
It’s surprising they didn’t do that after their
military school suffered a mini-Beslan.
Godwin says
Pakistan is hellhole country with religious fanatics abound. The Christians there are being persecuted daily.
Godwin says
Let them kill, kill n kill as taught by their religious teachings in the MADrassas..
Angemon says
I’m surprised they didn’t pin this on India.
Angemon says
India or Israel.
