Now watch how the US comes down on Pakistan like a ton of bricks, egged on by the evangelist Churchmen.

Building the church like a mosque for thankless Muslims of Pakistan was no help.

Sad news really,So have the culprits been found yet?

Why has the percentage of Christians come down in Pakistan over the years?

A now banned member said "They converted". How right he was

Today about 150 Pakistani Christians have been converted into corpses or injured casualties. The religion of peace has scored again in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. And neither the Pakistani army nor the Pakistan government will be able to do anything at all. And Kiyani will say "India is the main enemy". They are scared and powerless. Easier to curse India and accuse the US and Israel than oppose the Talibaniac Muslims who are purer and a deeper shade of green than the clean shaven hypocritical Pakistani army.

Pakistan is a murderous shit pit. "Republic" is the wrong word. Repugnant is more appropriate.

India has suffered from Pakistan sponsored terrorism

Pakistan is suffering from Pakistan sponsored terrorism

So yes, India and Pakistan are similar. We are both victims of Pakistan sponsored terrorism.

But since 1 Pakistani=10 Indians, ten times as many Pakistanis are being killed by Pakistanis in Pakistan to show how much better Pakistanis are at tolerating death than weakling crybaby Indians. Well done Pakistan.

He converted to save himself and his career.

now days intent of these suicide bombers is also not clear. Pakistan is a complete mess, as we do know that he might be a "paid" suicide bomber, there is a chance :ranger:

Suicide bombers are available for a price in Pakistan to settle personal scores, a police investigation into the killing of a parliamentarian has revealed.On Tuesday, the Crimes Investigation Department of the Lahore police said it had arrested five people involved in the Aug 6 suicide attack at the residence of Rashid Akbar Niwani, a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member of the National Assembly, which resulted in the death of 26 people and injuries to several more.

The day US withdraws from the region, the whole Jihadi machinery is going to roll in the direction of India.

Just curious. In what way do you think that the Pakistani army that has attacked India since 1947 is more gentle. kind, considerate, less dangerous, less well armed and more chivalrous and less jihad minded than the "jihad machinery" that is going to roll towards India?

Let them roll in. We will rip them a new one. India is prepared. If the Taliban takes over Pakistan as I hope they will, they will not receive updates, maintenance and spares for F-16s, Orions, AMRAAMs, WLRs and NVGs from the US.

It is Pakistani "apres moi le deluge" propagandu to call the Taliban more deadly that anyone else. That is nonsense. The sucker gringo Americans pay Pakis well when they hear this. The Pakistan army is a far more dangerous and well trained foe than the Taliban. If we can show the Pakhanastan army the door we can extend the same courtesy to the Talibunnies.
