Taliban are the greatest threat to Islam and Pakistan. Killing young school girls, killing health workers killing innocent people at random with bomb blasts is absolutely against Islam.

Rafiq Saheb I could’nt agree more with you. But the problem is we are a no match to these well trained militants. We can only continue to expect that may be the govt will ONE DAY wake up to understand that it is its basic responsibility to provide security to its citizens not only from the external enemies but also from the enemy WITHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The perpetrators have almost taken a grip on the affairs of the country in that wherever and whenever they want to put up a disruption they do it without any hassle. The government is simply watching without bringing a meaningful solution. The so called jihadis continue to target innocent people. The govt has lost its right to be in power (if it is still left with any power!).
It is coming so clearly in the news that the terrorists have their strongholds in areas like manghopir, banaras etc etc and that our police cannot enter into these no go areas. My question is, is time not ripe to conduct an operation similar to that held in Swat. How much more blood shed is required before the army operation can be called for. When the terrorists are equipped with sophisticated automatic weapons why can’t the government put up an effective defence for the people that are completely left at the mercy of terrorists.

So sad! But why does Dawn keep reporting these & other deaths as “killings?” They are murder, & should be reported as such.

What is the motivation behind the murders? What is perceived as a threat?
