    What co incident , right every day. Such big support to Musharaf that he is the one who can support from Talbanization in country. A karachi, where goons of MQM can indicate every worker of Afaq group , killed other party workers but not indicate Taliban supporters.
    A good plan is executing by Rehman Malik and Altaf choren chatni wala. Weldone.

    @ TK, Zahid

    I agree that this blast series plan seems to be carried by Altaf mafia as the pattern is very strange and unusual to the blasts by religious extremists.

    Recent mqm statements had already being vaguely threatening such action. MQM learning fast from america, do whatever you like and blame it all on taliban ‘terrorists’.

    Yeah, MQM is just blaming extremists for improving its own image as a liberal progressive party. The thing that really annoys me is the fact that no matter who comes into power in Sindh, MQM will, one way or the other, be part of the govt. Which means that any investigations against MQM will never be carried out.

    Well just two days back Mush and MQM got together. This is what you get when two biggest terrorists are re-united!! It’s so shameful that media does not have guts to say this openly …PPP is also quite!

    @ Admin

    Please start a debate on MQM’s remarks about Pakistan!!!

    Explain, Mr Nazim Monday, July07, 2008

    Karachi Nazim Mr Mustufa Kamal made some startling remarks and observations at the businessmen’ s dinner in Karachi on Friday night in honour of President Pervez Musharraf. He told the members of the audience that they should not take their money away from Karachi because “if they return after six months or one year the region and its geography may not be the same”.

    The comments, made in the presence of the president and the governor of Sindh are alarming to say the least. President Musharraf in his speech
    supported the observations of the nazim and had his own advice for
    politicians and others. Mayor Kamal’s remarks are intriguing, if not downright conspiratorial. What does he mean by the warning that after six months or a year Karachi’s geography or even that of the region, may change? Is any plan being prepared somewhere that he knows of but would not rather share with the public other than warning his moneyed supporters not to take the risk of taking their money away? It may be noted that the city nazim was recently invited for an extended visit to the United States where he was received by officials in a manner that no one as low in the political hierarchy as a city nazim had ever been.

    It would be in the fitness of things if Mr Kamal clarifies his remarks, explains the context and informs the people of Pakistan if he
    really means what he said publicly with TV cameras rolling and the entire
    > country watching. An explanation of these remarks from MQM headquarters in London would also help in understanding what lies in store for Karachi, the region and the country, as the nazim has clearly indicated.

    i seriously believe that in these attacks religious terrorists are not involved here ethnic terrorists MQM is involved in the attacks…these attacks are to create ethnic clashes in Karachi so that MQM can get benefit of the situation…interesting thing is that pashtoon community in karachi is attacked ..MQM tried to get benefit of the mess created by religious extremists in other northeren areas…everyone is determine to destroy Pakistan…..

    These blasts look like a blackmail from MQM to PPP and others as it has been doing in the past. They just do it sometime to show how big terrorists they are and how big they are capable of doing. Mush must be happy with that “awam ki taqqat”.

    I hate to copy and paste my own comments, but if you have missed , this is for you.

    There is something really fishy going around, if you look at some year or 2
    meetings between polish, saudi and some other westerners with Altaf hussain
    and visit of Nazim Mustafa Kamal to USA, you will figure it out.
    Yesterday Bombing in Karachi was also weired, it was different in STYLE,
    in last 2 years we witnessed some horrible suicide attacks, mostly against
    law enforcement agencies or against American/European targets, with some
    high intensity bombs
    In karachi
    bombing target was no body…. which mean just to scared people of so called TALIBINIZATION. low intensity bombs in banars chook and hyderi area
    which simply not a style of Tabliban or any other Islamist terrorist group.
    NOT AT ALL

    IF my memory still working Altaf hussain just warned us of TAlibinazation of karachi….. and to prove Altaf bhai right look like some unit incharges / sector
    incharges are on field to make him PEER SHAIB ( He told you NAAAA).

    now read this news, name of terrorists, & Knowing the MQM politics and style
    i can bet on it this is the work
    of MQM with pro Musharaf establishment.

    I seriously have no trust on Altaf Hussain,
    but what ever Nazim is saying in his speech is something need to understand

    1: in Last 8 yrs lot of money was spent in Karachi
    2: Last two Nazims ( Nimatullah Khan & Mustafa Kamal) both did a great job to fix infrastructre in karachi.
    3: Geo’s breaking news did damge to Pakistani economy
    4: PPP provision govt has no right to take over Karachi water supply dept
    and Builiding control autority away from local govt.

    MQM is only fighting to keep hold on Karachi while some other forces are
    fighting to break away from PAKISTAN….

    Something is really cooking…. in 60 yrs of pakistan history nobody has courage to spend money on Karachi at all….they why Musharaf and this city Nazim?

    having said that i still think ….those 8 little bombs were made in orangi town and work of MQM.

    expakistani is right…these .5 kg bombs were thrown and planted by the same people who once locked and thrown the fire crackers inside of the wuqla chambers in karachi….
    yaar kuch bhi karlo…urban TT pistol fighters are nothing but rats infront of 1800s warlords.

    Recent blast in Islamabad and series of blasts in Karachi are another coward acts of evil from Jehadist talaban type mullas of our region – they killed thousands of innocent poor civilians in one year from this type of act of brutality. Now their hot target is law enforcement agencies – once they scared them then these criminals have free ridge on unarmed civilians like the way Lal-Masjid mullas exercised during last year.

    Everybody knows which “sacred” forces are behind these brutal killings of innocent humans but not much of us have courage to unveil them. These vicious forces Lalmasjid type mullahs are our “enemies inside” they are uglier than the enemy out there. Two and half centuries back Bulleh Shah said:

    Mullah te mashalch, donu iko chit Loka karday chanan, aap andheray wich (The mullah and the torch-bearer Hail from the same stock They give light to others, And themselves are in the dark.)

    Now its time for liberal and law abiding Muslims of our country to unite against dark forces of extremists. In Karachi they want to scare ANP followers not to support Khybar Agency operation and also want to start riots on ethnic ground. This is very clear now a day these jehadists are getting support from Russia and India.

    I am not only agreed but would like to go one step up – in some ways MQM is even worst then Talaban, the reason – Talaban and other Mullahs are lunatic gang but MQM is cunning people with no loyalty to anybody other than there own evil wishes

    if taliban are involved in blasts, the why blasts in Pashton areas, this is only MQM.

    Attack in Kabul is sponsored by US to force the indian leaders in G-8 to Nuclear deal by realizing that Pakistan is strong enemy.

    In previous long march, Rehman Malik was capturing every day 2 or 3 suicide bombers ever day, when he was knowing that this is just a march which will ends peacfully without darna etc.

    now when lawyer are going to decisive round, Rehman malik is barking that 2 or 3 suicide attacker enters into Islamabad. and the situation is worse and we will not allow any jalsa jaloos.

    i do not see any difference in this and previous government.

    @Junaid
    To understand mystic poetry – we should read between the lines, don’t take words literally. Genuine SUFIS have tendency of being courtesy and politeness, they don’t show-off that they are role models. They are realistic people and want to express that they are in process of improving (purify) themselves. Most important they want society to treat everybody equally regardless of there faith, ethnic background or social status. But on the other side mullahs like Talaban type mentality they called themselves Ulema and want to divide the humanity into three main categories – 1. Ulema 2. Disciples of there breed of Ulema 3. Leftovers are Jahanami. So that was the fight between Bulleh Shah and Ulema…

    By the way Quran used the word Ulema for scientists not for religious scholars.
    Anyway this is just my point of view …
