Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan hospital jihad attack kills over 70; should raise questions

Aug 8, 2016 1:48 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Although Pakistan’s Prime Minister and other high-level officials have denounced the attacks, and many continue to blame the Taliban and even India, ongoing evidence shows up Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism — which should raise questions about the origins of such jihad attacks.

Pakistan has long been a breeding ground for Islamic jihad terrorists operating in South Asia.

After the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom, mujahideen who were driven out of Afghanistan took refuge in Pakistan. In fact, Pakistan’s military and its Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency have been training and funding terrorist groups operating within Afghanistan and India, “including the decades long terrorism campaign in Indian Kashmir and the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. The links have long been clear, given that the Pakistani terrorist groups operate in plain sight and have a very distinct Afghan and Indian focus. The massive leak of U.S. Intelligence data on the Wikileaks website further showed the complicity of the Pakistani state with terrorist groups.”

“Pakistan hospital bomb attack kills dozens in Quetta”, BBC News, August 8, 2016:

A suicide bomb attack has killed at least 70 people at a hospital in Quetta in south-west Pakistan, officials say.

About 120 others were injured in the blast, which happened at the entrance to the emergency department where the body of a prominent lawyer shot dead earlier on Monday was being brought.

The casualties included lawyers and journalists accompanying the body of Bilal Anwar Kasi.

A faction of the Pakistani Taliban has said it was behind the bombing.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar said it had also carried out the earlier attack on Mr Kasi, who was president of the Balochistan Bar Association and had been shot while on his way from his home to the main court complex in Quetta.

Witnesses described scenes of chaos after the hospital blast, with “bodies everywhere” and survivors shouting for help through the smoke and dust.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and chief of army staff Gen Raheel Sharif have both gone to Quetta and will hold talks with security officials.

Gen Sharif met some of those wounded at the Quetta Civil Hospital…

    That jihad suicide-homicide jihad bomber who murdered all those people in that hospital in Pakistan was totally despicable. That jihadist was also as deluded as he was dangerous and murderous. For he must had actually believed by that by his murdering jihad bombing he was going to obtain for himself a paradise. The more fool him. For the Bible teaches that a murder “shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ” Galatians 5:21. In addition the falsehood of the story of the doctrine from the Koran, the Qu ‘ran, Sura 44:54. 55:56. 78:31, of a sexual /lust-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for certain men Muslim men is a falsehood the is a story /doctrine is this also absurd. The Bible warns against listening to and believing in unproven, unfounded and far-fetched religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious story /doctrines may be . For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. Furthermore, the Bible had predicted the coming of such false religious teachers, as those imams, who teaches other a story/doctrine of a lust-filled /lust-fill place for specific men. For the Bible reads “”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but will after their own lust shall heap to themselves teachers ,having itching ears; and they shall turn their ears for the truth ,and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [K.J.V.]

    That jihad suicide /homicide jihad bomber in Pakistan at that hospital was brutal and murderous. Such deadly jihad attacks do lead to an important question, which is “Why are the jihadist bombers, so very, delusional that they actually want to become human bombs? ” Some of the reasons are that such violent and deadly people are the outcome of the extreme brainwashing that is done in Islamic mind programming centers which are more widely known as mosques and madrasas, by the Muslim clerics, such as the imams and in some countries as Afghanistan and Iran also the mullahs. In those Islamic mind programming centers youth are thoroughly indoctrinated into believing in the Islamic doctrine from the Koran. as found in 44;54. 55:56. 78:31.., of a sexual/lust filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. First and foremost, those who come out of those places of extreme brainwash are so very warped, sick and deluded that they actually view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations” Likewise, they are so very damaged that they have literally become dangerous to self and others. In addition, the Bible does warn about false teachers who ingrain a belief in a doctrine of a story of a /lustful/lust-filled place with much sex in it. For the Bible warns about false teachers, the Muslim clerics do fit this description, in Second Peter 2:18. Which reads “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad –minded Muslim in his death recording talks about “the wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false doctrine and false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Mathew 22:29, 30. In contrast to the delusional Islamic pipe-dream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

    So the so deranged monster who was a Muslim would kill people who shared his own faith? What type of brain washing is that?

      All Muslims are systematically infected with the Islamo-Rabies virus, virtually from their birth onwards.

      The only cure for the Islamo-Rabies disease is for the infected person to somehow find the strength to walk away from the insanity of Islam, as many of JW´s staunchest supporters have done.

      …………………….

      Marina, you have to understand the Islamic tenet of “Takfir”. Any Muslim who is deemed to be “apostate”, “heretical”, or “insufficiently Islamic” can be held to be “Takfiri”–that is, a virtual Infidel who can then be slaughtered just like any other Kuffar.

      Muslims do this to each other all the time–the most common is between Sunnis and Shi’ites, but it is used far more broadly than that, and explains all of the Muslim-on-Muslim violence around the world.

      Even though Pakistan is virtually a Shari’ah state, many Jihadists do not consider them Islamic *enough*.

      • Oliver says

        Aug 10, 2016 at 6:56 pm

        In my view, graven- the problem with Muslims doing this (killing) each other all of the time, has one problem.

        NOT ENOUGH. More Muslims killing more Muslims, leaving the rest of us out of it. (Although, they could take a few, or perhaps more then a few) of their supporters with them.

        Just my non pc views.

    Quetta is capital of Baluchistan province of Pakistan through which Pakistan and china are building ” china – Pakistan economic corridor ” a 47 billion dollar plan to built a deep sea port at gavader + road through Pakistan to china
    these attacks are being done with support from world biggest regular terrorist state USA and India currently under Hindu Taliban control (RRS)
    USA ( CIA ) and India ( raw ) do not like this pak – china increasing partnership so they have been very actively involved in supporting and arming militants groups in Baluchistan province as USA did in Libya + Syria . their involvement proofs have been found on large scale , last month a India spy was caught in Quetta which turned out to be serving Indian Navy officer and India admitted it .
    He admits that he has been giving money to militants , technical support for attacks along with weapons , his video is available online .
    , yesterday a American spy was caught which came to Pakistan with help of USA embassy in Pakistan he has been black listed last year after found guilty of spying and supporting militant .

    pak army has cleaned upper half way and have destroyed 95% capacity ofn terrorist groups like TTP ( Tarik -e- Taliban Pakistan ) in operation zarb-e – azb currently going on. these groups was founded against Pakistan when it became ally with USA (( after 9/11 drama )) in never ending planned war on terrorism to keep running its world biggest arms producing + selling businesses

    USA is Satan , its always interfere in others countries internal matters and always trying to change regimes , support corrupt people in power and is very good creating , supporting , arming terrorist groups

      …………………………………

      *Hindu* Taliban? What claptrap. This is like Muslims blaming the Jooooooos for Jihad terror.

      The fact is that as oppressive and Shari’ah ridden as Pakistan is, it is not “pure” enough for many pious Jihadists. Hence, Jihad terror attacks.

      This is, in fact, incredibly common. Pious Muslims attack their less fervent coreligionists in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and many other stretches of Dar-al-Islam.

      More:

      USA ( CIA ) and India ( raw ) do not like this pak – china increasing partnership so they have been very actively involved in supporting and arming militants groups in Baluchistan province as USdid in Libya + Syria .
      …………………………………

      Wait–now he has gone back on claiming that Jihad is being done by the ‘filthy Infidels’, and is now just claiming that they are funding it.

      C’mon–is the Taliban “Hindu” or not? That Muslims like abbas are unable to keep their stories straight over the passage of a paragraph or two is really sad.

      More:

      their involvement proofs have been found on large scale , last month a India spy was caught in Quetta which turned out to be serving Indian Navy officer and India admitted it .
      He admits that he has been giving money to militants , technical support for attacks along with weapons , his video is available online .
      , yesterday a American spy was caught which came to Pakistan with help of USA embassy in Pakistan he has been black listed last year after found guilty of spying and supporting militant .
      …………………………………

      Given that Pakistan regularly accuses those it arrests of being Indian and American–or, and Jewish–these claims from abbas should not surprise. Notice he provides no links–the idea of rational proof is, of course, quite alien to Mohammedans.

      pak army has cleaned upper half way and have destroyed 95% capacity ofn terrorist groups like TTP ( Tarik -e- Taliban Pakistan ) in operation zarb-e – azb currently going on. these groups was founded against Pakistan when it became ally with USA (( after 9/11 drama )) in never ending planned war on terrorism to keep running its world biggest arms producing + selling businesses
      …………………………………

      How can abbas explain *this*? Just in this very post he claimed that it was the US waging violent Jihad against Pakistan–now he appears to admit that it is actual Jihad groups responsible for this terror.

      More:

      USA is Satan , its always interfere in others countries internal matters and always trying to change regimes , support corrupt people in power and is very good creating , supporting , arming terrorist groups
      …………………………………

      Well, of course! abbas cannot bear to admit that it is Muslims killing Muslims in the name of Islam–it has to be the fault of the “Great Satan”, instead…

        Gravenimage, I just wanted to say (and I know you already know this) that abbas is a giant turd. When I see his name, I know there will be a super long, diarrhea-like rambling of epic proportions. I have learned to just scroll past all his maniacal, ill-tempered brain farts and just ignore him. I wanted to tell you from one infidel to another that I appreciate you breaking down his arguments to expose him for the human refuse that he is. I want to take the time to thank you for all of your efforts. Keep up the good work!

        The language, tone and *arguments* used by this Abbas suggests he is from the ISI “M” Wing. This so-called media wing has full time ISI officers trawling the internet to further Pak propaganda. (Somewhat OT: this same wing also keeps naughty Pak journalists in line by killing or torturing one every now and then; besides buying up journos-for-sale worldwide. Many notable Indian journos used to be suspected of being ISI stooges, which got confirmed when the US based Ghulam Nabi Fai ring was cracked by the FBI some years ago).

        From the standard of language used by Abbas, i’d hazard a guess he is a Captain or Major of the Pak army, since regular army officers serve in ISI.

    • Westman says

      Aug 8, 2016 at 8:14 pm

      Samo, samo, Islam, the cult of death. Frankly Abbas, you and Islam are a tired bore; without an original thought nor an ounce of compassion for those who do.

    Aug 8, 2016 at 4:23 pm

    The casualties included lawyers and journalists accompanying the body of Bilal Anwar Kasi.

    This is misleading. Bilal Anwar Kasi was the Balochistan Bar Association President, and he was gunned down earlier by unknown assailants. The lawyers were there to show their respects and the journalists were covering the story. I’d bet my last cent that this was premeditated – the group responsible by the suicide bombing also gunned down Mr. Kasi, knowing that lawyers (people following and enforcing man-made laws) would flock to the spot and journalists would cover the killing. An attack there would get plenty of media attention.

    Well, look on the bright side here, i.e., Muslims killing other Muslims is preferable to Muslims killing non-Muslims.

    Message to all the world: Islam is completely effed up. It is disgusting, despicable, dysfunctional, destructive and desultory. It is many other negative things but right now I’m out of alliterative capacity and, what is more important, I need to get a second beer. So done here.

    Ah, if only the Islamic world were finally done. Now there’s an inspirational thought, no?.

    I guess, in answer to marina- above somewhere— PERHAPS these Muslims were the WRONG KIND OF MUSLIMS.

    After all, daily one sees Lutherans bombing, shooting and killing Baptists, and the Baptists returning the favor. Orthodox Jews killing Reform jews, etc. (Sarc).

    (I admit, don’t know if there are Hindi divisions, Buddhist divisions, etc).

    That is how one knows it is a Muslim.

    And, Pakistan is what? 95% or so Muslim-isn’t it?

  8. Ashley says

    Aug 8, 2016 at 6:17 pm

    ALL these attacks are despicable, but to attack a hospital is especially grotesque.

    Note that Ms. Williams reports that the suicide bomber detonated at the entrance to the emergency room. No doubt innocent civilians in need of urgent care are among the casualties. The primary target appears to have been lawyers present to honor the legacy of Bilal Anwar Kasi.and journalists present to cover the story.

    I don’t intend to come off as trite or flippant, but WHY THE FUCK was Kasi’s body near the emergency room entrance? He was clearly deceased. I have never known of a corpse near an emergency room entrance. Kasi should have been in the hospital’s morgue, far from those seeking medical attention.

    It is a silly detail, but one that troubles me.
