   Oh no, (takes deep breathe), Here I am being culturally insensitive� with another assessment of peaceful inner strugglers� engaging in acts which are, as we're told, not the real islam� aimed at those who are deemed to be the wrong kind of muslims� which means that we are engaging in islamophobic� behavior for making the otherwise, seemingly rational calling for Muslims to eschew this quaint but rather messy habit of killing people dozens at a time.

 ISLAMABAD - Suspected Islamist militants attacked two mosques packed with hundreds of worshippers from a minority sect in eastern Pakistan Friday. More than 70 people died and dozens were wounded.

The assaults were carried out by at least seven attackers, including three suicide bombers, and several worshippers were held hostage, officials said.

The assaults in Lahore against the Ahmadi community illustrate the threat minority religious groups face in Pakistan, a Muslim-majority nation whose longtime struggle with sectarianism has been exacerbated by the violent rise of the Sunni extremist Taliban and al-Qaida movements.

Heroes!

In yet another escalation of internecine Islamic violence, Sunni insurgents have been blamed with targeting �not real muslims�. It's quite apparent that the minority islamist sects have been and will continue to be persecuted by the Sunni majority under which they will be subjected to privation, fear, and death.
It bears repeating for those who don't yet know: The various sects of islamism loathe each other, even though the hateful groups are Muslim. One wonders how, if at all, they will learn to coexist.
