Pakistani relatives of Saturday's bombing victims mourn next to the bodies in a mosque in Quetta, Pakistan, Feb. 17. Angry residents demanded government protection from an onslaught of attacks against Shiite Muslims a day after scores of people were killed in a massive bombing that a local official said was a sign that security agencies were too scared to do their jobs.
A spokesman for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Sunni group, claimed responsibility for the bomb, which caused casualties in Quetta's main bazaar, a school and a computer center. Police said most of the victims were Shiites.

The one that has the most power to stop the cycle of revenge is the one who has been wronged last and whose turn it is to act. He could use his turn and continue the cycle or he can forego it -- both now and the next time until it stops. Such is the wisdom and utility of turning the other cheek that nobody thought of before Christ. It is wrong for Muslims to kill Muslims. They should figure out a way to stop these sectarian killings -- even if it means resorting to the ideas of Christ to do so.
How sad for the minorities in Pakistan..... Shiites, hindus, and Christians --have to fear for their lives...
"Pakistani relatives of Saturday's bombing victims mourn next to the bodies in a mosque in Quetta, Pakistan, Feb. 17."
This is known as: what goes around comes around.
All the Muslims of different sects and tribes joined hands or some were silent when raping, stealing, looting, kidnapping, killing and genocides of non-Muslims were going around in this very Pakistan.
Nice to see the girl weeping, mournings, anger and demonstrations when it comes to them.
Now they appear that they are humans first!
The Islamic extremist Frankenstein monsters (Sunni Islamic extremists invented, funded and exported by the barbaric and beastly bigoted Saudis and Pakis) have started backstabbing big time the inventers of Pakistan, British, and the masters (US and allies) who kept them alive.
In most of the Islamic terrorism and plots in the US, Britain, Europe and other places, Pakis have a hand.
Half of NATO forces deaths in Afghanistan are due to Pakis.
Before followers of Islamic cult set their feet on Afghan and Paki regions, these regions were quite peaceful and prosperous.
Once the cancer of Islam gradually got control of the region, those regions have become raping, stealing, looting and killing fields.
In Afghanistan, Paki proxies Taliban did not even tolerate Buddha’s statue in Bamiyan.
Many Paki areas and some Afghan areas have become breeding and exporting centers for illegal activities including drugs growing and trading and export of Islamic radicals and terrorists all over the world.
British invented Pakistan in 47 and Pakistan is supposed to be a pure Islamic nation.
In Pakistan, it was massive genocides of minorities in between 48-50.
Percentages of Hindus and Sikhs were reduced from about 24 percent less than three years by rapes, stealing, lootings, terrorizing and killing on a massive scale.
Paki Islamic religious madness did not end there.
Sunni Pakis are after Ahmedias, Sufis (fake love and dance Islamic soap opera people), Shiites (20 percent), Hazaras, and Baloochs and other minority sects/tribes.
Shiites, Sufis, Ahmedias and other minority sects/tribes people are blown up while they pray in their mosques on Fridays. And even hospitals are bombed to kill those injured.
Don't worry: more is yet to come due to high dosage of Islamic madness.
At the same time, close the gates on Pakis all over the world.
They don't deserve much sympathy as they were partners in crime or silent when crimes were going on in the name Islamic religion.
They should reap what they sowed.
Pakis. no mourming , you should be proud to supporting terrorists ...... Feed the snake & one day it will bite you back.
Don't be surprised: after ruining their nations by Islamic extremist madness, these Muslims from basket case nations like Pakistan/Banistan, Bangladesh, Somalia will flock to the US, Britain, European nations and other non-Muslim nations.
