Fill the rest of the van with pig entrails, cuff ‘em to the van and detonate it.

Come on!! These are obviously Peace loving innocent farmers and merchants who were no doubt simply out trying to get supplies to grow more Baby Milk.

Besides, what could be more peaceful than a group of Muslims gathered together who were no doubt only praying for World Peace??

Tomorrow (already tomorrow in Pakistan), January 7, is Ashura, the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, is a Shi’a “holy” day. This is when Shi’ites beat themselves till they bleed to mourn the martyrdom of Husayn bin Ali, Muhammad’s grandson, who was killed by the Sunni caliph Yazid after trying to take power. I have no doubt that the Sunni Pakistani terrorists were going to use this van to attack Shi’a Ashura demonstrations. That’s Islam... “religion of peace”...fighting itself.
