Taliban Blame Blackwater for Peshawar Blast
Source: The Nation(Pakistan)

ISLAMABAD (NNI) – Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah Mehsud has blamed the controversial American private firm Blackwater for the bomb blast in Peshawar which killed 108 people.

Hakimullah Mehsud told media that if Taliban can carry out attacks in Islamabad and target Pakistan Army’s Headquarters, then why they should target general public.

He claimed that American security agency Blackwater and Pakistani agencies are involved in attacks in public places to blame the militants.

When asked that the people also think that the militants are involved in such attacks, the Taliban leader was quoted as saying, “Our war is against the government and the security forces and not against the people. We are not involved in blasts.”

2. After the Taliban blew up the Buddha statues
that told me everything I needed to know about them.

Islam is stuck in the same Shiite vs. Sunni struggle that Christianity was five hundred years ago in the Catholic vs. Protestant wars that went on. Christianity got past that shit sometime a couple of centuries or so ago, Islam is still buried in it, where the two sides meet.

Let us get the hell out of their way while they have their own Inquisition.
