Blast in crowded Pakistan park kills at least 60

An explosion ripped through a crowded Pakistan park where Christians were celebrating Easter on Sunday, killing at least 60 people, officials told the Associated Press.

About 300 people were injured when a bomb detonated in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park in the eastern city of Lahore. A suicide bomber is suspected of being responsible for the blast, though authorities continue to investigate.

The explosion reportedly occurred just outside the exit gate and near rides for children.

"When the blast occurred, the flames were so high they reached above the trees and I saw bodies flying in the air," Hasan Imran, 30, told Reuters.

A police superintendent said most of the dead were women and children, according to Reuters. Salman Rafiq, an adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province, said many of the wounded were in a critical condition.

At least 60.

At least 60 CHRISTIANS. Mostly WOMEN and CHILDREN.

Mass murder: It’s what Islam does.

I wonder if they’ll investigate to find out if there’s any relation between this suicide bomber and the Pakistani terrorist and her husband who shot up a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California?

“Women and children first.”

Means something completely different in the Muslims world than it does in the civilized world.

Yes. That will be the response by the “I’m so sensitive to the plight of others” crowd on Facebook.

There’s been an ongoing family debate this weekend. While everyone’s thinking Brussels, Paris, San Bernardino, etc.,I’m noticing there has been some sort on mass casualty attack at least daily somewhere in the world for the past couple months. But unless in against the west or an airliner, it doesn’t last too long in the news cycle.
Has anyone ever else noticed this?

The murderers must not have gotten the message that their religion is the “religion of peace.” Or so we are continually told...
