anyways, 1 thing i think is wrong is that Pakistans president made an annoucement "These people are not Muslims" (check link above)

Now my problem is who has the right to say that a person is not what they say they are when defining them based on their spiritual cause and religious idenitiy? isnt it subjective

I could just as easily say "some towns in US that havent been educated and have never come into contact with modern civilizations are not christian because they do some backwards practices?" but they call themselves christian and for them those practices are based on their interpretation of the bible... so they have the right to call themselves christian...just a different section if anything

Likewise , if these terrorists in the bombing are calling themselves muslim and saying that they are doing this for islam and their interpretation of it...i think the fact that the president is saying this shit means he doesnt understand a secular or free thinking society and is in denial of the problem. You can wash the problem aside or try to change people interpretations if its that big of a threat...

just hating at the fact he is denying an issue rather than take this as an opportunity to confront it
