    Violence flares in Pakistan's largest city; 8 dead

    KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Police say shootings in Pakistan's largest city have killed eight people and wounded 18.

    It is the latest round of violence in Karachi, where more than 100 people have died in the past month in killings believed sparked by political feuds.

    Karachi is a port city of 18 million that routinely witnesses more than 1,000 violent deaths a year. It is Pakistan's commercial heart, and the chaos here threatens to distract the government from its fight against Islamist militants.

    Much of the recent violence in Karachi follows the decision by the city's most powerful party, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, to quit the federal ruling coalition. Police official Saud Mirza says authorities are probing if political tensions fueled Friday's killings, too.

      What about Sindhi muslims?
      How about you spare a thought for the 3 million Bengali men, women, and children killed in East Pakistan by your hijra Pakistani army. Or for the thousands killed in Baluchistan, or the thousands of Shias and Ahmadis killed in recent decades in Pakistan. Hindus and Sikhs were once 20% of Pakistan's population. Today they are not even 1%. What happened to all of them? Oh yeah that's right -They killed millions of them.
      And now your Allah is teaching a lesson to you -1-He demolish all terrorist center in Pakistan occupied Kashmir,

      Today is Paki Friday, the day of anarchy, chaos, murder and mayhem. But after prayers of course then anything goes.

      "It is menttioned in Hadis, Hazrat Rasul (The Prophat) had once said - The day is not far when such a period would come for the mankind when existence of Islam Would only be in its name. The Koran would reduce into a symbol only .All the mosques would turn into mere corridors and their guidance would be destroyed ,their learned people would turn into wretched creatures among the civilized world under sky.Thir would be visible hostility against religion among them and there would also be its reaction over them."

        Why does everything that takes place in a Muslim country associated with Islam. Does that mean whenever there is a crime in the Christian countries it is also associated with Christianity as well?
      • FAFRF 10 mths ago
        Christianity can exist seperate from the state, Islam cannot, particularly in a Muslim country.

      Violence, death, mutilation, bleeding, pain, horror, slavery, and religious stupidity.

      WHY is it that religious fanatics always seem to have "reasons" to murder human beings?
      • MarcelD 10 mths ago
        Normally I agree with you but in this case its political.

      What's up with Muslim males and their blatant homosexuality and pedophilia???

      The religion of peace is at work in this 99% islamic country. Killing non believers is a regular event.

      People can berate Islam as they wish. But this is a political issue and one that will continue to haunt Pakistan as long as they support groups of terrorists and try to walk a line of legitimacy. Rather than deal with issues as they are, the leadership has to create conspiracies, intrigue and deceptions. Some countries have not matured to a point where democracy and human rights are held above corruption and suppression of basic human values. Unfortunately Pakistan will fall into chaos before that lesson is learned.

      Good point Mo! Like clockwork there is anarchy and violence after Friday prayers in India, and why would it be any different (except be more anarchic and violent) in Pakistan? The MQM and the people they represent are between a rock and a hard place. They left India seeking the mythic Muslim homeland in Paksitan, and found that religion wasn't enough to bind them to the other communities. India better build a Great Wall to keep out the impending hordes once Pakistan collapses.
