I haven't seen the PBS link, but if they think Salafis and Deobandis are the same thing, or that there are any operational links between the two, they are mistaken. Did the wahabis commit the attacks? It's a very simple question. And I used to be an atheist former Muslim for around seven or so years, so your last paragraph is way off point.
umar hasn't seen the PBS link because he is afraid of my posts and has me on ignore. He doesn't like to face facts on this board, he prefers his own brand of truth and facts.
The latest attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi just like the one last month Well to be fair the PBS (frontline) is an interview with a Shiite Muslim from Saudi Arabia, so he will not have the highest regards for the Wahhabi. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/saudi/analyses/wahhabism.html Also it was posted by someone you may have on ignore. Now just like the Wahabbis and Salafis beef, Al-Qaeda also has beef with the Wahabbis, they do try to out crazy each other. But to you I know nobody knows more about Islam and terrorist than you, bias media.
But if you want to say that Wahabbis have no proven (direct) link to Lashkar-e Jhangvi, fine. This is the LeJ http://www.hazara.net/lej/lej.html http://www.stanford.edu/group/mappingmilitants/cgi-bin/groups/view/215 http://www.shiitenews.com/index.php...s-lashkar-e-jhangvi-for-ashura-blast-in-kabul http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10491799 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-20983153 http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/pakistan/terroristoutfits/Lej.htm http://www.iranmilitaryforum.net/mi...-publishes-beheading-video-shias-in-pakistan/
But if you think I am giving the Wahabbis a bad rep, we will have to disagree. http://khabrustan.wordpress.com/201...-wahabi-problem-and-shiagenocide-in-pakistan/ http://www.eurasiareview.com/06122012-the-wahhabi-war-on-indonesias-shiites-analysis/ http://en.shiapost.com/2012/06/14/a...-case-against-ali-wali-ullah-in-shiite-adhan/ http://pakshia.com/en/shia-killing-...s-backed-funded-and-financed-by-saudi-arabia/
This was your best link on the topic, it was an interesting read, and it confirms what I've been saying all along - they are inspired by Deobandism, not Wahhabism. Are we gonna carry on pretending that I wasn't right, or shall we drop it? It's not about good or bad rep. It's about being honest and accurate with the facts, or not being honest and accurate with the facts. If you said it was Genghis Khan that did the attacks, I'd still say no, it was the LeJ. That doesn't mean I'm defending Genghis Khan, does it?
Well my initial comment was this right? Do Wahabis not hate Shiites? Now in your opinion that LeJ is not inspired or related to Wahhabism In my opinion Wahhabism has been an influence and radicalized Sunni Muslims around the world (I believe I posted a link to Indonesia attacks on Shiites), Pakistan media also blame Wahabism and the USA (maybe they are trying to blame outside influences to down play their internal problems) But western intelligence does point to Wahhhabi money being used to radicalize Sunnies around the world. And their ideas and opinions towards non Sunnies has helped fuel the anti Shiite hate around the world. So can we prove that Wahhabi money was directly related to the attack? probably not. Can we say that Wahhabies dislike Shiites and other forms of Islam that do not subscribe to their sect believes? Probably yes, and wasn't that what I said? So again how was I wrong in my comment? and I will quote my comment again. I am not sure how much influence does the Great Khan has in anti Shiite sentiment around the world or in Pakistan, that is why I did not say that, also not sure what type of Islam did the Khan like or dislike. but hey almost as good as your feminist example, you sure do not disappoint in your greatness Umar.
Let's see if you can guess why Quranic interpretation would be relevant in a discussion about Muslim extremists. This is where your famous Ph.D. might come in handy.
The Sopranos was one of the best TV series made. In addition, the battle of Lepanto was fought in 1571.
Another round of sectarian violence and mass-killing. I have to really question the competence of the intelligence and security apparatus in Pakistan. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/03/us-pakistan-violence-karachi-idUSBRE9220AY20130303
You don't say, I am shocked! This from the guys that "could" not find OBL when he was sitting right on top of their military college.

They will have to work hard to settle things down in Baluchistan if the pipeline passes through there.
Iran and Pakistan should cooperate as much as they can, in stabilization, so we can deepen our economic ties and relations. And hopefully that will lead to stabilization across other areas in Pakistan and also in Iran.
Something needs to be done in pakistan. http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/10/world/asia/pakisan-unrest/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 More tolerance and understanding by muslims in pakistan towards others.
