| Mass Murder of Pakistan Family That Ran Public Model School |
| 2004-05-20 |
| Six persons of a family were shot dead by some unknown persons in a Fiaz Park Canal Link Road house, Mughalpura, in the wee hours of Friday. The victims were Naveed Haider, 28, his wife Sobia, 27, his sister Saima, 32, his brother-in-law Sajjad Haider, 33, Ghulam Fatama (seven-month-old daughter of Saima), and housemaid Sohnia, 11. Sobia was almost six-month pregnant, the family sources told The News. .... all the six victims received a single shot each in rear side of their skulls. .... Sajjad and his wife Saima were running a school — Jafari Public Model School — for a long time in the same double-storey house consisting of three rooms on ground floor and two on upper floor. ... The killers reportedly wrote ’kafir’ on walls of the car porch and TV lounge with red and blue spray paints. Before killing the six family members, the killers tied up the victims’ hands with tapes and gagged their mouths. .... The news of the killings spread like a jungle fire in the area. Hundreds of locals gathered at the spot and chanted slogans against the government for loosing grip over terrorists. The infuriated mob blocked traffic on both lanes of Mughalpura leading to Jallo Morr and burnt tyres in protest. .... |

| #21 I guess the madrassas wanted to eliminate the competition, couldn't have people learning anything that might help them make a living. They must think that Islam and an educated populace are not compatible. No wonder most Islamist countries are stuck in the seventh century. |

| #20 Actually, during the dry season they (jungles) burn quite well. It depends on what you classify as a jugle. True tropical jungles don't burn, much too wet. I live within a 100Km of the equator and I can assure there are no seasons in the sense you have seasons in temperate areas. It is hot and wet all the time. As you get away from the equator and rainfall becomes seasonal, jungles especially secondary growth can dry out enough to burn. Link |

| #19 USC is a football school. National Champions. Really? I must have missed those playoffs. Oh, that's right, they don't have playoffs. |

| #18 Psssst... Jungles generally don't burn very well. Actually, during the dry season they burn quite well. #15: The orderlies at whatever Mental Health Facility that Antiwar...er...Gentle was confined to, discovered that she was off her meds. The problem has been rectified. #13: If she was paid at all, about $0.50 per day. #17: I parsed the article to mean they were running a school for models. Definitely (notice the correct spelling) something that would drive the RoP faithful over the edge. -AR |

| #17 They must have been teaching some wicked secularist shit in that school to get that treatment. The good news is that the locals don't appear to be too cowed and went to the streets to protest. |

| #16 Ah, the Religion of Peace(TM) strikes again. God is great, eh? I'm toying with the idea of pulling out my Sheikh-of-Twenty-Names routine (did it yesterday for the first time) to show my disgust. |

| #14 #10 "If your not a Muslim you have 3 choices (1)convert(2)slavery(dhimitude)(3)death." Option 2 is offered only to Christian and Jews (people of the book, sons of pigs and monkeys). The rest such as Buddhists and Hindus are offered option 1 and 3 |

| #7 Islam is the last and final religion to all mankind and to all generations irrespective of color, race, nationality, ethnic background, language, or social position. I got one thing to say about the above sentence. "Better of dead than Moh-ham-med" |

| #6 Seafarious, What do you expect? This "Devil's Dictionary" is from the USC Muslim Students Association, the same MSA (often funded by Saudi Arabia), who at other colleges, have had members arrested for support of terrorist groups. Europe isn't the only Western society with a Muslim fifth column. MSA Figure Seized By FBI |

| #4 An "I'm feeling lucky" search for kafir on Google reveals the University of Southern California's "Islamic Glossary" definition: a person who refuses to submit himself to Allah (God), a disbeliever in God. The term "Islam" itself means submission. Hmmm... I looked at the definition of Islam in the same glossary and found this: Islam is the last and final religion to all mankind and to all generations irrespective of color, race, nationality, ethnic background, language, or social position. Do you think USC really thinks that? Just wondering... |

| #2 LHR, kafir (somettimes also spelled kufr or kuffar) means infidel. |

| #1 Forgive my ignorance on this one but what does 'kafir' mean? |
