Peshawar Bomb Blast & Pakistani Elite Class

[divine_quran]

To Our Elite And Not Just The President: Was a reception for a US foreign Secretary “Hillary Clinton” more important than sharing the grief of your people? More than one hundred innocent Pakistanis killed in one day, more than two hundred in less than a month. Attacks linked to our own and America’s failed Afghan policy. Attacks supported by anti-Pakistan forces in the region and not just unknown ‘extremists’. Children left without parents, a nation terrorized. And the response of our political elite? Dinner, toasts and merrymaking in Islamabad. Was a reception for a foreign guest more important than sharing the grief of your people? A shameless foreign-backed ruling elite.

One hundred and ten killed in one day. More than two hundred dead in less than a month. If this were any other country, emergency would have been declared, nation would have been mobilized, and intellectuals would have moved to question the policies of rulers who draw their strength from Washington and London and not from the people and the interests of Pakistan. Above all, there would have been a national mourning. But not in Pakistan. Not in a country where one ruler sold his nation in exchange for a deal offered to him by the Am-Brits and where ‘elected’ rulers consider receiving someone from Washington and London the high point of their careers.

someday somehow you gotta take responsibility for your own haram actions instead of blaming everything on the secular elite, or the west.

It's terrible that so many innocent Muslims are being killed by other Muslims and it is happening across the world in so many places

What kind of man is this, who does not direct a single word of anger at the people who actually set off the bomb?

I actually agree with Foxhole.

RAWALPINDI: The Taliban and al-Qaeda have denied involvement in the Peshawar bomb blast and said they do not explode bombs in bazaars and mosques. According to a statement of al-Qaeda, they are not involved in the killing of innocent people. According to al-Qaeda sources, the elements, who want to defame Jehad and refugees, are behind the Peshawar bomb blast. The al-Qaeda sources say they would continue Jehad against America and its agents across the world. The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in an email sent to the media also condemned the Peshawar blast and denied its involvement in the Meena Bazaar explosion.

Taliban, al-Qaeda disown blast

So who did set off the blast?

Are you both stupid? Or are you God?

Do you actually know with certainty who set off the bomb[s]?

He's criticising the Pakistani leadership. It's appropriate to do so. When a country suffers a tragedy or is in a state of national crisis, people look to the leadership to provide some solidarity or comfort. If the leadership is busy bootlicking their paymasters instead of providing at the very least some help or comfort to the suffering, I think it's fair to criticise them.

In this particular post he is, but so many times it seems like he excuses the haram things people do by blaming it all on leadership or the west or something. Yes, those are problems, but there is also personal responsibility involved when a person decides to flip the switch and blow something up.

Pakistani leadership are such &*^%$ that you can't sit on your hands waiting for them to do things. If you do that, you'll wait forever. Why are we always waiting for someone else to solve our problems? What about neighbors helping each other? What about if you know some one who supports this kind of stuff, you take them aside and try and convince them not to do it?
