International Herald Tribune PK - Ziarat: Jinnah's residency to be rebuilt in 3 months
BLA has assaulted and destroyed a long standing symbol of slavery and Pakistani oppression in Balochistan. The century old house in Jinnah was home to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah the leader of an oppressive regime and a man viewed by Baloch as the instrument of racism, slavery, and oppression in occupied Balochistan. Pakistani officials claim they will rebuild the monument to tyranny within three months.

On June 15th Islamic Extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has claimed responsibility for a recent attack on a bus carrying female university students and a hospital in Quetta. Although Pakistani media reports the bus was attacked by a female suicide bomber, the reality is the bus was destroyed by an IED.
Tolo News - Pakistan Using Religious Extremism to Destabilise Afghanistan: Karzai
Pakistani & other news sources have blatantly attempted to link LEJ with BLA by reporting the LEJ Quetta bombing story alongside the BLA attack on the Jinnah slave house in Ziarat. Pakistani media also failing to accurately report the ensuing siege on the Hospital. Throughout the recent Pakistani military campaign the Baloch medical community has been severely crippled. Considering LEJ's choice of target and timing of attack it becomes obvious they are acting on behalf of Pakistan ISI much the same way Al-Queda is used to destabilize particular regions.
Rohrabacher.house.gov - Rep. Rohrabacher Offers Amendments to NDAA; Cuts off Aid to Pakistan
Rohrabacher.house.gov - House Passes Rohrabacher Amendment Tying Human Rights in Pakistan to U.S.
It's no coincidence this LEJ terrorist attack comes one day after United States Congress passes the Rohrabacher Amendment to cease ALL military funding to Pakistan on grounds of human rights violations. The LEJ bombing itself and the manner in which its being reported is an obvious attempt to rekindle US aid by associating Islamic extremist groups with Baloch freedom movements. Pakistan government officials have even publicly alleged links between LEJ & Baloch separatist groups.
Baloch independence movement fights with God, not for God (God does not need men to fight for him, and its an insult to God to even suggest such a thing). By using Islam to justify atrocities LEJ furthers negative opinions and stereotypes of Islam. The actions of LEJ do not serve God, Baloch or Islam, their actions serve a petty human agenda and are destructive to Islam.
I realize my statements may be unpopular amongst many disillusioned people, but everything I stated above is as per the very Quran they would brandish like a sword. Allah handed down the Quran as a tool of knowledge, not a weapon, to use it as such is a direct violation of the basic tenets of Islam. Im not a Preacher, Priest, Imam, or even a Muslim, but I am well read and very learned in history and religion.
"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. (The Noble Quran, 2:190)"
"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. (The Noble Quran 2:193)"
"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. (The Noble Quran 2:193)"
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"
"Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God's will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)"
"If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe! (The Noble Quran, 10:99)"
"…Take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that ye may learn wisdom." (Al-An`am 6: 151)
Some of these quotes even go on further on how to deal with groups like LEJ who transgress the tenets of Islam in the name of Allah, but I believe my readers intelligent enough to get the idea. (see Al-Baqarah 2: 190-194 or Al-Ma'idah 5 32-34)
The Baloch freedom movement is a secular one for the freedom of Balochistan, to end tyranny & oppression, not the fulfillment of some immature twisted Jihadist fantasy. Thanks for reading and if I have offended anyone, such is never my intention, only to present and analyze information to help generate awareness of the ongoing genocide in occupied Balochistan.
