    I think Islam has nothing to do with this sectarian violence. It’s our own miss understanding wrong apprehending the message of Islam in a wrong way. Most of Shai Muslims don’t hate Christian or Hindu but they do hate Wahabi and Sunni.
    For me Shai and Sunnis are manifestation of same reality.
    Down with schism. Down with Shai and Sunni. Down with Iran and Arab. Islam is beautiful religion. Islam Zindabad.

    It is not only the Pashtoon, but all Sunni Muslims have announced crusade (religious war) against non believers and non Sunni Muslims. What a great Islamic ideology!! What is happening to us and all other non muslims in the world is the blessings of Arab Islam. Down with Islam and Arab culture. Lets work with all civilized and cultured people of the world for the safety and security of future generation.
