Chaos in Lahore-Pakistan [+ favourites]

hey everybody

Well, many of you already must know what the cartoons have done in the muslim countries. I live in Pakistan, and in my city of Lahore mobs etc have started to create serious trouble. It's really wierd, cuz u hear such stuff in the news etc, but here it all is happening in places where I hang out in etc. Frustruated mobs have started burning n destroying restraunts, cars, anything they can lay their hands on. KFC, posh restrautns, people's homes, people are getting killed as well, some by the mobs and some by the police who sometimes have no choice but to fire in desperation to save themselves.

i don't think most of what is happening has got anything to do with the cartoons or anything like that, frustruated, poor people have just gotten an excuse and perhaps the neccesary 'push' by various 'upper powers', and as a result they have started looting etc, lots are enjoying it as well, venting their frustruations perhaps.

It must be disturbing to witness chaos, Angel. I do not envy you.

But you are correct... the government in Pakistan seems to encourage violence by its citizens rather than peace and understanding. I am not certain what the solution is... people are blinded by the supposed segregation with each other due to relgion, whereas we are all converts in essence.

I agree - I don't think it has anything to do with the Cartoons either.

I think its frustration and they're venting, it is unfortunate.

How did we call the victims terrorists
How did we call the destroyers liberators
A world turned upside down
Stealing from the poor
and giving to the rich
It stinks of rotting flesh
