Pakistan: Top Shia cleric arrested for involvement in targeted killings of Sunni clerics

Nov 14, 2016 12:49 pm By Robert Spencer

Clearly Allama Mirza Yousuf Hussain has misunderstood the true, peaceful teachings of the religion that he has dedicated his life to understanding and teaching properly. No doubt Pope Francis, John Kerry, David Cameron and a host of other top Muslim clerics are on their way to Karachi right now to explain to him how authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Top Shia cleric, 39 others arrested over involvement in Karachi sectarian killings,” Express Tribune, November 6, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

KARACHI: Law enforcement agencies on Sunday rounded up at least 40 suspects, including a prominent religious scholar, in Karachi following a spate of targeted killings.

Allama Mirza Yousuf Hussain, a prominent Shia scholar and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) leader, was arrested late on Saturday night during a raid at his house in the city’s Nazimabad area, sources told The Express Tribune.

Hussain, who is a prayer leader at Noor-e-Emaan Masjid, was taken into custody just a day after a former Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) senator was arrested by law enforcers over his alleged involvement in sectarian killings in the metropolis that took place recently and in the past as well.

Faisal Raza Abidi had been apprehended from his residence in New Rizvia Society, which falls in District East, late Friday night. Heavy weapons, including a G-3 rifle and sub-machine guns (SMGs), were also recovered during the half-an-hour long search before he was shifted to an undisclosed location for interrogation.

On Friday, six people, including two prayer leaders belonging to the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam – Fazl (JUI-F), were shot dead in three separate attacks within the span of one hour. Two JUI-F workers were killed in Patel Para while three ASWJ workers, including a prayer leader at Shafiq Morr and a prayer leader in Hyderi, were gunned down apparently by the same group….

    Killing those not in agreement with them is what moslems do best.

    Go on and prune the sunni community. But don’t stick your dicks, into a child!

      I’m afraid that “sticking dicks into children”, as you so eloquently put it, is the only thing sunni and shia agree on. That and killing infidels.

      Islam, ladies and gentlemen.

    MOHAMMED TAUGHT TARGETED KILLING
    Ishaq: 676 “(Asma bint Marwan was a writer who wrote), ‘You (Muslims) obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?’ Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?’ Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet’s wishes. That very night he crept into the writer’s home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.’ Umayr said. ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?’ ‘No,’ the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.’”

    Forgetting that this is Pakistan. And one Muslim sect killing another

    No news.

    But
    If this was in a civilized country
    And
    Heaven forbid. It was a Christian or Jew who was responsible.

    Useless Nations would be screaming. As would lame stream media.
    Selective reporting and responses
