Homicide Bombers Kill 50 People in Pakistan I'm sure that some of our Muslim members will deny that this happened because it's not mentioned in the Quran. Another group will blame it on the Hindu's, the Jews, or the Christians. Yet another group will blame the western media for publishing news of these attacks. Even more though, will attempt to blame the attacks on something they vaguely refer to as "the culture" in a weak attempt to avoid accepting that Islam is the problem. This attack provides a good example of the idiocy of that argument. This attack was conducted by Islamists in the name of spreading Islam and the targeted victims were the tribal leaders -- the keepers of traditional Pakistani culture. This attack was Islam successfully murdering the representatives of Pakistani culture. Don't blame the culture; blame Islam. Apparently this is a follow-up to an attack last month which I must have missed: A suicide bomber attacked a mosque in northwestern Pakistan in early November that was frequented by elders opposed to the Pakistani Taliban, killing 67 people. The attack occurred in the town of Darra Adam Khel, a militant stronghold on the edge of the tribal region. Islam is at war with the Pakistani culture and the Pakistani's are putting up a weak defense. This does not bode well for the future of Pakistan.
Living in Denial is the right phrase to use in this situation. State sponsored educational and media propaganda has so dulled the wits of the people that they're most willing to beleive conspiracy theories. There's a nutcase called Zaid Hamid in Pakistan who has a huge fan following there, and keeps parroting stupid theories of RAW, Mossad and CIA destabilizing Pakistan every time a terror attack happens there. There's always a 'foreign hand' and Muslims are destined to regain their 'past glory'. Its astonishing how much the country has digressed into darkness since its formation
