Sad situation for Shia muslims in Pakistan

Born a Pakistani, I have loved my country even though I have not lived there all my life.

Despite the crimes, despite the weather issues, load shedding etc. Pakistan was always "Pakistan", my country I have always loved and adored since it was a place that gave me recognition of who I am.  Over the years, things have changed, I agree... the country is no longer the peaceful place it was during my childhood.

Those days we would just run outside to get Kulfi (similar to ice cream) from the street vendors, or when we ran across the street to play with neighbors... we used to get excited to go visit family and then evenings devoted to playing outside with cousins!  No Fear, no scare of when a bomb will land in our back yard or when we will be blown up for being shia!

Today, I am sad to say, that my country has failed to provide its citizens with the protection that they deserve and this racial animosity has upset several of us living abroad.  At this point, I really wish there was one place this entire shia community could flee to and be safe!  This is not a new occurrence.. It has happened in the past with other minorities and yet again it happens to the shias this time.

It is sad what happened at Abbas Town this past week.  Heartbreaking news and stories are emerging.  I literally cannot swallow food down my throat listening to the reality of what is out there and how many women, children, adults and elderly are suffering.  These are people of my country, my blood, my racial sect! and I CANNOT do much sitting here.  I can only collect funds for them and we can only send assistance there.  But the mere fact that kids have lost fathers, women have lost husbands and mothers have lost children can never be fulfilled.

Sad that based on historical facts, this is being labelled as a hate crime situation, but it is not!  Despite differences, I stand firm in my belief that whoever acknowledges the religion of Islam, that Mohammad PBUH&HF was the messenger of Allah SWT, has fear in their hearts and CANNOT, absolutely cannot, create such a carnage for ANY human being!  Ahle sunnat brothers and sisters are joining forces with the shias.  This is the time to rise in peace and show the world that our country is being corrupted by those who do not want us to coexist!  This is the time to stand in unity everyone and help each other.

It is not only shias being killed!  it is everyone associated with or knowing shias.  These monsters do not consider ppl of any race as humans!  This is not Shia genocide, it is anyone who stands against "them" genocide. 
Kitnay Hussaini Maroge? Har ghar me Hussaini niklega!

The voice of Hussain and his followers has lived 1400 years, what makes you think that any amount of hate crimes will stop the word and message of Hussain?  Knowing the message of Karbala, you haters should already be aware of the fact that Shias do not back down despite torture!  Our imam was an example, and we will follow.  We will stand not only for shias, but for Humanity!  We will stand and wait for our awaited savior! 

Oh Allah this is a prayer for all suffering brothers and sisters around the world, especially those suffering in the attacks in Pakistan at present... La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntum Minaz Zalimeen...


Relief will come soon inshAllah... Please pray for the appearance of our Imam (ATF)... we need him to help us now!!!
