Eleven Shiite Muslim Coal Miners Murdered in Quetta

The city of Quetta, Pakistan, has been a hotspot for ongoing Jihadist attacks.  Situated on the border with Afghanistan, it has been caught in the crossfire of extremism for years.  Now, a new tragedy has struck Quetta.  ISIS militants abducted 11 Shiite coal miners from the Machh Coal Mine 30 miles outside of Quetta, took them to a nearby mountain, and shot them point blank.  Reports reveal that six of the workers died immediately while 5 more were critically wounded and died in the hospital.  

Video footage of the attack reveal that the ISIS militants blindfolded their victims and tied their victims behind their backs, then executed them.  Sadly, attacks like this are not uncommon in this region.  Christian churches and Shiite Mosques in particular have been singled out for attack.  Attacks on the roadsides have also been frequent as terrorists are known to set up checkpoints and stop vehicles on the road.  If any Pakistani citizen has a religion printed on their ID that they don't like (Ex. Christian or Shiite), they're executed.  In Pakistan, they're infamously known as "checkpoint killings."  Protests over the killings have been raging for days with the Shiite community demanding justice.  Prominent Shia community leader Daud Agha angerly stated "Whenever terrorists kill our people, the government sends it representatives saying they will ensure our protection.  We never got protection in the past.  We want the arrest of the killers of our people.  

Terrorist attacks have been an ongoing fact of life in Quetta for over six years, and it shows no signs of ending.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
