As bizarre accounts of man's brutality come pouring in, so does it bring
the grief with it that one feels for the loss of innocent lives. On
paper Gilgit is embossed in curfew but few know that extremist factions
of Islam...paganism...have begun the free massacre of Shia Muslims at
their own will and desire despite army curfews.
Having read through what one eye witness had to say, I could not imagine what had gotten into/out the minds of the killers who have by now tried a number of brutal ways to exterminate whom they have so proudly pronounced as 'kaafirs (infidels)'. Declaring themselves as champions of Islam, they are doing in the 21st century what is definitely against both the teachings of Islam and human dignity. To kill a human without justified cause is a grave sin in Islam and that too on a religious belief or ideology is sheer idiocy and hypocrisy.

Though the account could not be verified independently, upon researching
through contacts, I came to know of atrocities so brutal being
committed by non-state actors that I am tearful at the moment and do not
wish to elaborate them here (like our media fondly loves to).
Nothing can be as painful and grieving as what Imam Hussain (A.S.) and His companions suffered on 10th Muharram 61 AH and afterwards and throughout history, various dynasties have done their best to kill the followers of the Prophet's (S.A.W.W.) own kin. But what is happening in Gilgit and Skardu is a big slap on a nation that claims to be fighting against terror.
I request each one of you who reads this to continue spreading it because the media has turned a cold shoulder to this minority of Pakistan that has suffered at the hands of various rulers throughout the last 1400 years. Sitting on our cozy sofas on speedy machines thousands of miles away from the scene of gross injustice does not relieve us of our responsibility to do whatever we can to condemn the grave injustice. Because if it this does not wrench our hearts, then God knows what will.
