Bomb blast in a church in Pakistan- I dont understand the logic

US are doing drone attacks in remote parts of your country. You kill your own citizens and say you will attack christians if US dont stop drone attacks. What is US losing in this? What is the logic of threatening another country by killing your own citizens. I am unable to understand the logic in this.
On the other hand in Kenya, Somalian terrorists have launched an attack on a mall in Kenya to ask Kenyans to withdraw their forces in somalia. I see a logic here but not in the Pakistan incident.
Can anyone help me in understanding this. I was thinking a lot about this but couldnt get any conclusion and hence i am posting this

  • can a rational man be a terrorist ?
  • @bharat141

    When has "logic" ever been the motivating factor in terrorism?

    Unfortunately for humanity, such principles of logic and causality do not feature in the minds of those who propagate religious extremism and fundamentalism. It was a very smart man who once said that religion is the opium of the masses- and a drug like fundamentalism can cause mass impairment of the mind and render one's judgment completely skewed.

    I agree to the fact that extremistic ideas will skew your way of looking at things. But even illogically also how can someone threaten another country by killing people who.have nothing to do with that country? What might the idea that made them think.they can threaten US with these bombings? Whenever these Pakistani Mujahiddeins want to fight with India, they cross the LOC and fight where as when they want to fight against US why dont they do it? Am i thinking in wrong way? Does the government of Pakistan or ISI have to do anything with these bombings?

    What i believe is the fact that the communalism has always been a part of conflicts among nations. Christianity is prevailing in most of the Western countries and they consider muslim majority countries as a their enemies. . But they are emotionaly connected with Christians living in these countries and whenevr they are being targeted it matters a lot to them. . So Taliban thinks that to control the christianity dominated western world the christian minority in their area can prove to be a negotiating instrument. . .
  • In case of India also. . If some hindus are being attacked in pakistan or any other country. . A nation wide protest starts. . Bt if some muslims are being killed No one bother here. .
  • What these Terrorist are thinking that America is against the Islam. So they look it like Muslim Vs. Christian .

    America is killing Muslims(true Pakistani in views of terrorist) everyday by drone attack , so we will kill Christian(not Pakistan in their views) to stop attacks.

    But IMO after this blast US will increase the frequency of drone attack ..
  • So in their way of thinking it is religion before country and feel US are sympathisers of christians living any where in the world.

    Thank you so much every one for helping me.

    i dnt want to start an argument with u....
    but isnt it the muslims who created ruckus at mumbai n destroyed amar jyoti statue in Mumbai because some illegal bangladeshi immigrants rioted with the bodo - original inhabitant of INDIA ???
    instead of siding with their own countrymen their heart beats more for illegal immigrants .. ryt ???
    And for worse people ( north east ) have to flee from bangalore n other regions of india coz our muslims brothers are "too much " vocal for supporting their illegal immigrants of bangladesh

    Or for the worse .. sikh / punjabi are more less in number in population but when some punjabi sikh killed in usa / england / canada how much exposure it got??


    Point is do nt post stupid comments ... and start something which would snowballed into larger arguments..
    So before posting some comments in line of hindus- muslim propaganda..
    think what you are posting..

    @Badboy
    please dont blame the enitre Muslim community. The people involved in Mumbai riot were actually illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants from some states like Bihar, Assam etc- mostly came from Bangladesh in last 20/25 years and after official deadline 1971. Cause of the riot was that- if they dont support their Bangldeshi bhai, they will be attacked someday. Most of the original Indian Muslims dont support these Bangladeshis.
  • dude m not blaming any community and u should say this to people
    who are holding entire hindu community responsible
    that they protest if a hindu is killed and ignore if any muslim is killed...

    It is priviledge that here , in INDIA , no matter from whatever community you are .. u r given equal rights and protection...
    still..this type of stupid comments come..anyways
    as i said i dnt have any intention to argue with anybody..infact i have lots of muslim friends and mah best friend is muslim too

    anyways..no point in further stretching it.. i apologize if my comments hurt anyone sentiment :(

    I wl not be further part of this discussion :)
