Pakistan: Muslims murder four in attempt to storm Chinese consulate

Nov 24, 2018 2:57 pm By Robert Spencer

“‘Fidayeen’ is an Arabic term that loosely translates as ‘one who sacrifices himself.'”

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“Chinese consulate attack: Four killed in thwarted raid in Karachi,” by Euan McKirdy and Sophia Saifi, CNN, November 23, 2018:

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)Armed attackers attempted to storm the Chinese consulate in the Pakistani city of Karachi on Friday morning, killing four people, authorities said.

Three attackers also were killed in the assault on the consulate in the city’s high-security red zone, according to a Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman.

The Baloch Liberation Army, a separatist group, claimed responsibility in a tweet that included a photo of three unidentified men and the message: “Karachi: Fidayeen of BLA attacked the Chinese embassy in Karachi.”

“Fidayeen” is an Arabic term that loosely translates as “one who sacrifices himself.”

In a statement released after the attack, the group said its objectives were “clear — we will not tolerate any Chinese military expansionist endeavors on Baloch soil.”

CNN does not have independent confirmation of the group’s involvement.

Security was immediately ramped up at consulates all over Karachi, Sindh Gov. Imran Ismael told CNN.
Two of the four victims were uniformed police officers, according to Seemi Jamali, the head of emergency at Jinnah Hospital. No Chinese nationals were among the dead, the hospital said….

    Why don’t they just “sacrifice” themselves and leave others alone? satan wishes to see many…all would be his delight… humans die before his time is up, so those “sacrificing” their lives for him must take as many innocents with them as possible.

      These pure stupid souls who have been led astray by those who put their faith in Satan and his band of angels thinking that they have been chosen for advancement of their so called religion when actually they have been chosen by Satan to help fill up that awful Lake of Fire They won’t be by them selves though in hell those who led them will also be there.

    I guess there are others who don’t like the “One belt, one road” plan. I always wondered when the Islamic world would discover the Eastern Turkistan issue.

    Is China having some second thoughts about investing in Pakistan? The leadership should think twice about how safe transportation will be through Pakistan.

      Yes–China has gotten very cozy with Pakistan, especially as the US has been cutting aid. They may want to think twice now…

    Hopefully China will bring in its army , and do to the Moslem population what it does to its own Moslem population. I do not see China committing that much resources , time, lost lives on its side doing that, as much as they hate India .They are expanding into the Pacific ,building Island in the waters off the Philippines Japan and all South East Asia. ,they do not have the resources for a two front expansion. The cost effectiveness of taming or subduing the savage Moslem population in Pakistan. If they are too hard on Pakistan ,it will hurt their future trade and expansions into Africa. China,s current leadership sees the rest of the world as places they can colonize .

    The people of China are being oppressed daily by the Marxist overlords. All religions are being suppressed, and the communist party is trying to remake them into party compliant government agencies. Their foray into Pakistan should be interesting. The Chicoms will not tolerate interference with their plans, and the Muslims will not tolerate interference with Islam.

    Here’s a link: https://www.apnews.com/a2e25af232a04d7f8eb294151ecdbbf4

    The article notes that many in Pakistan fear that China’s interests in Pakistan will result in the plundering of Pakistani resources while leaving Pakistan with a lot of debt (China does play to win). The perps in this attack seem to be Baloch separatists (and Balochistan is an area that is being heavily exploited for its mineral wealth).

    I doubt China will try to send in its own forces. Pacifying 200,000,000+ Pakistanis will be a far different problem than suppressing fewer than 20,000,000 Uyghurs; and China will want to move on Taiwan before too long. It’s social credit system also shows that its government has a fair amount to fear from its own population as well.

    OK, Beijing. Enjoy being the one whom everyone accuses of exploitation and plunder.

    Two forms of imperialists are embroiled in a war of ideology. The one is dispensing money all over the world to buy influence, the other causes mayhem on its own soil to fertilize the minds of its gallery. Both of them are costly; one wonders if China have reflected on the cost of colonialism? Europe have been thrown unceremoniously out from their erstwhile gains. America, too, has to pay many countries to buy influence. The lesson that China ignores is the problems this has created for America. Pakistan, after all the money America has thrown at them have grown the jihadis and sympathizers, as well spreading its message all over the world. China has not democracy and rules by coercion. Time will tell how China will end up in the future…In the meanwhile America has to downgrade its most favoured nation(MFN) policy towards China. This lower its GPD and available to finance and alternative superpower. China is bully and so Islam.
