The blast happened in the parking area of Gulshan-e-Iqbal Park, Lahore, a few metres away from children's swings, and most of the victims are believed to be women and children.

Authorities have so far confirmed the deaths of 65 people at the park, where Christians had been celebrating Easter, but they expect the death toll to rise.

Rest assured, just some of those "GOOD MUSLIMS" George Bush talked so kindly about two weeks after 9/11.  And what do the idiots of America do just a handful of years following the worst attack in our history but to elect a muslim president.

God has a funny way of revenge.  We owe Bush as much as the idiots that voted for Obama for bringing us a marxist muslim as president.

A breakaway Pakistani faction of the militant Taliban group has claimed responsibility for an Easter Sunday bombing in a park in the eastern city of Lahore that killed 65 people.

Ahsanullah Ahsan, spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, told the Associated Press that a suicide bomber with the faction deliberately targeted the Christian community.

The explosion took place near the children's rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park ? which was crowded with Christians celebrating Easter ? local police chief Haider Ashraf said. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing.

The explosion killed 65 people and wounded over 300, said Deeba Shahnaz, a spokesman for Lahore rescue administration.

Punjab's chief minister Shahbaz Sharif announced three days of mourning and pledged to bring the perpetrators to justice, said Zaeem Qadri, a spokesman for the provincial government.

The park was manned by police and private security guards, police chief Haider Ashraf said. "We are in a warlike situation and there is always a general threat but no specific threat alert was received for this place," he added.

More mussie lies.  It is Pakistan that birthed the Taliban.  Pakistan fully supports the Taliban.  You know, our good ally.

How many innocent people must die before the civilized world awakens to the true threat of islam?  Perhaps I should rephrase the question.  How many must die at one time?  The dribs and drabs of 13 here, 65 there, 31 at another location are NOT numbers to motivate world leaders to take appropriate action.

Sometime in the future, when the murdering mussies unleash a bio weapon that kills millions, maybe then.  And I say maybe only because with 7-8 billion people in the world, what is a few million murdered by a bunch of devout mussies?  Nothing really when you think about it.

Does anyone think for a moment if 2 million were killed in Europe with a bio weapon that they would do anything?  Not likely.

Innocent people die because the good people stand by and allow it to happen.  In this world of islamic murder, there should be no room for tolerance or political correctness.  Only justice, and our T-baller President with his muslim sympathies if not outright devout muslim beliefs will never make the world safe from his brothers.
