As a Pakistani whose own people (Shia) have been getting similarly attacked for decades now it's enraging to have me and mine constantly lumped in with the murderers when people attack 'Islam'. I'm a pious Muslim. We're the primary victims of terrorists and we are in the frontlines fighting them. Don't fucking mix us up anymore please.

What's happening in Pakistan is such a shame and is completely pointless.

This is such a beautiful country and could make for an amazing tourism destination if it wasn't for these insane people and the Pakistan government's support for terrorism.

This country could easily run on money from tourism.

Security forces unleash bloody nationwide crackdown

“Both the federal and provincial law enforcement authorities and police started a crackdown across the country before dawn, and scores of suspects have been arrested from different cities,” a government official speaking on condition of anonymity told AFP.

RIP to the victims. It's sad that we forget some parts of the world have it far worse than us in the west.
