    As a person who is not a Muslim I have to ask this question with all due respect…What is wrong with Islam?…how is it possible that one Muslim can kill another Muslim and think he is doing the right thing?…Christians don't kill other Christian's or attack their churches…Jews don't kill other Jews or attack their synagogues…from the little I know about Islam it is completely forbidden for one muslîm to kill another…so why does it happen so often?…what is wrong with some followers of Islam that makes them think they should bomb other Mosques? Seriously, I would like to read what people think about this….

    "Pakistan was created for saving the muslim minority from hindu majority india!" LOL! What an irony! More muslims are kiled in pakistan EVERY DAY by their muslim brothers n than the muslims being killed by hindus in "hindu" india in an ENTIRE YEAR!! ( I can see pakistanis twitching their fingers to bring up gujarat riot..however no riot..not a single muslim killed by "hindu" gujratis in last 10 years!! Sorry to burst the paki bubble )

    In fact this not the work of any true Muslim. Unfortunately some mercenaries are hired to destroy Muslims in the disguise of Islam supported by S audi & I srael. They are doing the same in Syria as well and we Muslims cannot do any thing.
