QUETTA: Protesters, including women and children, were holding sit-ins across the country Thursday, including Karachi, Quetta, Lahore, Islamabad, Multan and Hyderabad to voice anguish at the deadly suicide attack on a bus carrying Shia pilgrims in Mastung that claimed more than 25 lives.
The people of the Hazara Shia community carried the coffins of the pilgrims killed in the Mastung bomb attack and continued their sit-in on Alamdar road in Quetta on the second consecutive day.

PESHAWAR: A bombing, targeting a security forces convoy, killed 20 people and injured 30 others near Razmak gate in Cantt area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu district on Sunday. The Pakistani Taliban claimed the attack.

While the mourning families continue their non negotiable protests in non-negotiable cold weather in Quetta... The negotiable Taliban...

Seriously? The callous disregard. Pakistan is one ed up country, honestly. It's a good thing that Shia community is holding a sit-in until the perpetrators are caught; otherwise I think the Pakistani government wouldn't be bothered to lift a finger...aside from lifting a finger to buy another wrist watch or a necklace from public funds.

The Shia community is no better, since they have now called off the protests. Though today is a strike by both the Shia and Sunni ulema councils.

Good to see some progress is being made at least. And I hope I didn't offend you by saying your country was ed up. But seriously, the northernmost regions of Pakistan are places I would never venture unless a person had a gun to my head.

Good Taliban showing it's goodness.

A bit further up and you'd need a lot more than guns.

North Pakistan is best Pakistan.

Aghanistan and Pakistan should unite into a single country so they're easier to deal with. It will also look infinitely better on the map. Since they have weird borders which if combined would form a decent looking country serving as an admixture of Iran and India. Which is of course what it is.

No offence, but that's an utterly retarded idea. Punjabis and Pashtuns don't mix. The Middle-East and Indian subcontinent are so messed up preciously because of European powers *cough*Britain*cough* making random boundaries with no regard for the different cultures and how they mix.

Point in case: Pashtuns in the north don't respect the authority of the Pakistani army (or as they see it, the Punjabi army). There would be a civil war in seconds if the two countries were mixed.

Your trolling...right?

[Col. Tartleton]

Yeah but that has no effect on my life and would tidy up the borders of two of the ugliest countries into one passable one.

Random boundaries? Letting tribes decide which country they're in is random. Clear divisions based on topography and water rights is the way of the civilized man. I can't just declare my yard to be part of the Dominion of Virginia, that would annoy the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If I could I'd be running a tax evasion tobacco scheme that would make a red man blush.

No. I don't see any reason for Pakistan to not annex Afghanistan and put an end to their .

America already did most of the work. We're too far away and it's not lucrative enough to keep us interested. Pakistan could slurp up that punani.

Ok, but part of you reasoning is because it would look better geometrically on a map? Do you see what's wrong with that?

Hilarious. It would seem that the Telebunnies will be freeing Pakistan from the evil clutches of bad muslims of Pakistan.

Meanwhile in Ye Olde Pakistan

Hmmm... minus x minus = plus, I know. But if you merge two Problems, you do not necessarily get a solution as a result.
Or, to put it bluntly: if you merge two piles of sh.., the result will probably not be a nice jummy chocolate Pudding... although it may look like that, at a first glimpse.

Ok, so in other words, Tarleton is joking, but the joke is falling apart. I suggest your next post have something to do with Hindus and cows. Either that or you seriously can't see the problem with having two cultures that do not get along in the same country with borders created by some British guy who seriously couldn't be assed to do his research. As I said, the whole area is a collection of artificial states created based on geography and previous settlements with no regard for culture or pre-colonial history.

Its not his fault the Muslims and Hindus wanted to break up the Raj because they couldn't just act like civilized people and live side by side.

[Divine Augustus]

Their is way more to the problem than muslims and hindus killing each other, the British are part to blame as well with lack of proper administration during the East India company days, their lack of control during WW1 and WW2, also since the British successfully pitted Muslims and hindus against each other by setting up puppet kings, and rulers who had no business ruling.

[Tankbustaz]

Wut Wut?

[Tankbustaz]

Not to mention the over-rosy picture painting of the Mughals and giving the regular Abdul ideas that the subcontinent belongs rightfully to Islam.

[Col. Tartleton]

If we put two piles of together the smell will be so bad they'll finally have to do something about the smell.
