Eid ul Adha suicide bombing in frontier Pakistan kills 50 people praying inside a masjid. The target was a former interior minister who directed military operations against the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
You know, I’ve long been an opponent of takfiring people for any reason, but given that these animals use takfir against ordinary muslims for their own political ends, perhaps it is time we fought back with the same tool. Someone who murders muslims on the Day of Sacrifice surely deserves to be labeled an unbeliever and a jahil.
