George I only exposed the truth and sorry that you chose to stick your head in the sand and ignore facts.

There are profound cultural differences as exposed in this piece of news were no Israelis are involved and therefore barely makes the headlines.

Gunmen kill Sunni Muslim leader, 4 others

05/18/2001 - Updated 10:38 AM ET

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Riots broke out after gunmen shot and killed a top
Sunni Muslim leader and five of his companions Friday in what was believed to be
the latest incident of religiously motivated violence in this restive port city.

Saleem Qadri, leader of a Muslim organization called Sunni Tehrik, was on his
way to a mosque for Friday prayers when gunmen opened fire on his vehicle from
close range in the neighborhood of Baldia Town.

Qadri, his guard and four relatives died in the attack. His 10-year-old son and two
others, including his 8-year-old nephew, were critically wounded, police said. The
gunmen fled after the attack and no arrests were made.

Hundreds of Qadri's supporters rioted outside the hospital where his dead body
was taken. They wailed, smashed car windows and beat doctors and policemen.
Police tried to disperse the rioters with tear gas.

In recent months scores of people have been killed throughout Pakistan in
religious violence. Most killings are the result of rivalry between extremist Sunni
Muslim and Shiite Muslim groups.

But often hardline Sunni Muslim factions also target each other. Qadri's Sunni
Tehrik, considered a nonviolent religious group, has sharp differences with rival
Sunni Muslim organizations.

Sunni Muslims, a majority in Islamic Pakistan, are divided into several schools of
thought, often at loggerheads over small religious issues such as dress or beard
length.
