A breakaway Pakistani faction of the militant Taliban group has claimed responsibility for an Easter Sunday bombing in a park in the eastern city of Lahore that killed 65 people.

Ahsanullah Ahsan, spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, told the Associated Press that a suicide bomber with the faction deliberately targeted the Christian community.

The explosion took place near the children's rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park — which was crowded with Christians celebrating Easter — local police chief Haider Ashraf said. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing.

Pakistan is literally the worst country in the world. It should have a giant fence put around it. Certainly don’t take any of its citizens into your country

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

We’ve been going about this all wrong. Instead of targeting terrorists we should just target random Muslims just for being Muslim. An eye for an eye, and all that.

But Our Glorious Leader Obama assures us that we are NOT at war with Islam, a religion of peace.

They must have been a bunch of Amish or Quaker Taliban.

I had a friend who is now deceased. Her niece married a Pakistani who is a Christian. He and his family escaped that hellhole while he was still a boy.

“There is a special place in hell for these animals.”

I can’t remember if it was Paradise Lost (or Regained) but John Milton had their number four centuries ago.
He had Mohammed simmering for eternity in a big pot of excrement.

The last thing I would ever consider would be killing Muslims on Eid.

Then again, that could change...

Apparently, typical moozlums showing their tolerance and love by murdering innocent people. Such a great culture, no???

yes, but lets not react because we all know the reaction is worse than killing 65 Christians on Easter Sunday..

and lets also ask Francis to throw a little "love" towards the stone age animals because love is what will make them stop..../sarcasm/
