Hey Spooky, is this the kind of home-grown Sunni terror you’re talking about?

“western agents who care nothing for Muslims (or anyone else) fomenting civil war”? That’s good! Say it loud! Say it often!
What do you know about Pakistan? Western agents have no need to blow up the minority Shiites, as majority Sunnis have been doing a pretty good job it without any western help.
Sectarian violence in Pakistan between Shiites and the country’s majority Sunnis is very common.
Pakistan’s most violent Islamist networks, Tehreek-e-Taliban and Lashkar-i-Jhangvi are responsible for most of this activity. This is well known.
Why don’t you try knowing something real for a change instead of constantly blowing your anti-American rhetoric.

Once again we are supposed to believe that some very devout, very conservative Muslim fundamentalists would blow up a bunch of fellow Muslim devotees on one of their holiest of days of devotion to their departed prophet (“peace be upon him”)? Hrrrright. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That sure would help their recruiting drives. That’s sure consistent with the Koran and the rules of Jihad. Oh wait, the rules of Jihad forbid anything even remotely akin to killing fellow devotees on holy days. C’mon kids, can you say “western agents who care nothing for Muslims (or anyone else) fomenting civil war”? That’s good! Say it loud! Say it often!
