BBC News - Five killed in attack on aid agency in Pakistan

(edit)

The victims, including two women, were all Pakistanis, reports say.

The attack took place on the office of the World Vision in Mansehra district, 65 km (40 miles), north of Islamabad, the police said.

Police official Sajid Khan told the AFP news agency that some armed people had "stormed" the building of the NGO.

"There was firing and also an explosion inside," he said.

The police said that the gunmen opened fire and exploded grenades once inside the building.

One unidentified aid worker said the gunmen had "engaged in battle with the police" inside the building.

The attack targeted World Vision, a large Christian humanitarian group helping survivors of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake in Mansehra district. World Vision is headquartered in Federal Way, Wash.

Al-Qaida, the Taliban and allied groups are strong in northwestern Pakistan, but Mansehra lies outside the tribal belt next to Afghanistan where the militants have their main bases

Extremists have killed other people working for foreign aid groups in Pakistan and issued statements saying such organizations were working against Islam, greatly hampering efforts to raise living standards in the desperately poor region.

The aid groups are seen by the militants as a challenge to their authority in regions under their influence.

They often employ women and support female rights initiatives, further angering the extremists.

I feel sorrow for those killed and harmed just trying to do what is just and right.

How much longer will we be fed this religion of peace crap?

Here we sit, listening to that line of BS over and over...diversity yada yada.

We PAY these Muslim hate mongers... thinking just a little more green back love and understanding will make all right with the world.

We went down that road in 1785, it didn’t work.

In March 1785, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). Upon inquiring “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury”, the ambassador replied:

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.

At some point reality must trump, no?

Want money, technology?

Swear off and destroy the Muslim freaks amongst you, that feed off and destroy the innocent and different.

Then we may talk...MAY.
