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.

Yes indeed. It's a religion of peace. Our politicians have told us that for many years. It must be true.

“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.”

Things are moving in that direction.

Sort of like the Clintons bombing Belgrade? (After having made a big to-do about *not* bombing Muslims during Ramadan.)

“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.”

In that case I feel sorry for the excrement.

Very powerful video, thanks for the link.

A must watch for all.

This to me is like a call to arms. If you don’t own a battle rifle or carbine for yourself and all members of your family including your children NOW is a good time to invest.

Excellent and powerful video, thanks! That part with the toddler learning to behead his teddy bear was exceptional, I hadn’t seen that before.

Obama will immediately scold anyone who ‘backlashes’ against Muslims, the horrid little man.
