wahabi nuts armed/trained/funded by the paki military and loved by the paki people when they were killing indians, kill pakis and the indians are supposed to feel sorry why exactly?

This must be a bit of a refreshing surprise for Farzana after being accused for years of being called a Hindu hating Islamist. :)

Any one who takes hit at civilians (the only exception being when civilians get caught in cross-fire during anti-terrorist activities) deserves condemnation – no ifs, ands, or buts!
The “politician” connection is highly stretched! Those who use the language of blasts are not politicians – they are killers!

My knowledge of Karachi – like my knowledge of most things – is limited. From what I have read about it on this site, it appears to be a great place to visit and to live in. I am sorry this event has happened and I feel bad for the victims – most of whom of course would be just regular folks.

The Merrut fire is in some ways reminiscent of the 1911 fire at the Triangle Waist Company in New York City, which was a sweat-shop in the heart of Manhattan. It was one of the worst disasters of those times – it took the lives of 146 individuals, mostly young women and girls who worked in that garment factory – and which resulted from the callous attitude toward safety on the part of those who had authority. Perhaps, like that disaster – this one in Merrut can also lead to some positive outcomes if individuals become more conscious of their own roles and responsibilities in taking safety codes seriously – the codes are there for very good reasons!

#17, Khamkhwa {``salim chauhan , farzana versey and other hindoo rightwingers have only ONE agenda... HATE PAKISTAN and they are doing a good job...``}

Khamkhwa,
There is nothing wrong with Pakistan - just something terribly wrong with hateful people like you who tend to be the majority in that unfortuante land.

Also, there is nothing wrong with Islam - just something terribly wrong with hateful, violent, suicidal, selfish people like you who tend to be very vocal in that much maligned religion - again thanks to ``Muslims`` like you.

#20 Dillidost,
Thank you for being so civilized in the face of this nonsense from #17.

#18, #21 wiseguyin,
You know, my friend, it is very important to recognize our mistakes and take corrective actions to prevent future mistakes. Meerut was due to human stupidity. Karachi was due to human intolerance, human violence, and human hatred. Very different problems. But, as Khamkhwa fails to note the problems, he is bound to suffer from repititions.

Chowk Staff,
The loss of life in both tragedies is shameful, sad, and preventable. There are however, several distinctions:

Meerut: Typically Indian habit of not paying attention to public safety. Too much red-tape, bureaucracy, and insensitivity to victims` welfare and concerns. Neta Surikhsha at the expense of Victim Sewa is wrong. Lack of discipline, lack of adherence to codes, and ``sab chalta hey`` attitude can be lethal.

Karachi: Typically Pakistani habit of blind religious devotion to the point of suicide and murder. Typically Muslim behavior of killing as many people as possible even when dying. Typically Pakistani habit of piling up one investigation after another and never getting to the problem itself. Typically Muslim behavior in lack of conern for human lives, safety, and property. Intolerance, illogical religios zeal, and total lack of discipline were lethal.

Re: # 17
Thanx Khammi,
We try ... our best, though we are not as good still;
one day we will be as good as your mujahideen but I think till then, you will need to be
content with these individual acts of courage.

Who is crying boss ?
Not a single Hinud has shown tears - crocodile or otherwise. They have been plain upfront
about what they think. If you find an HS here - crying for karachi - (s)he deserves a
spanking.

Re: # 17
Watch what you say.

I can assure you that number of Indians(including Hindus) who dont hate Pakistan exceeds those who hate Pakistan.

Dont spur your hatred here.

It is shameful and pathetic that chowk staff has chosen to insult the memory of innocent Karachi victims by comparing these two incidents. A barbaric, murderous attack by Indian RAW cannot and should not be equated with with an accidental fire, however tragic that might be.

We do not need your

re Salim_Chauhan
The people who died there were sunni not SHIAs`. Iran, syria , and lebonon are the biggest supporter of hamas. All these countries are Shias dominated so will you call them as terroist supporting fundos. What about this attack, should we consider it the work of shia organiation. Maybe not, only because in every dispute there are 3 people involve, 2 opponents and 1 the eyewitness. The eyewitness can be the imposter , maybe he might have made them fight. Therefore you good for nothing statement in not appropriate for this converstion. Think again

re arjun_m

Do you know hindus make human sacrifices, many childrens are reported missing and later many slaughted bodies are constantly being discovered in many part of india. IN many part of india womens are burn alive(sati)
http://www.experiencefestival.com/sacrifice_-_sacrifice_in_hinduism

There is no respect for any religion in india althought there are many religion.

Re: # 15
Salim Jee,
The last case of Sati that became famous was of Roop Kunwar. And thatwas in 1987. To
this day we have police guards at that place where she was murdered so that people
don`t do puja there.

We know our problems - and do everything within our power to correct them. Success has
been average but it is there, nonetheless.

regards
