Angry residents on Sunday demanded government protection from an onslaught of attacks against Shia Muslims, a day after scores of people were killed in a massive bombing that a local official said was a sign that security agencies were too scared to do their jobs.

Thousands of women refused Monday to bury victims of another bloody bombing and a strike shut down Pakistan's biggest city Karachi as protesters across the country demanded protection for Shia Muslims. — Photos by Agencies

i have strong reservations and grief over the incumbent brutal killings of the inocent hazara community. which should end as soon as possible and the governmeent should meet their demands on the democratic footings. i strongly condemn the current killings, hope the government will take the miscreants on book and deal with them with iron hands.

I have no problem with shias but what bothers me as a Muslim is what's written on the coffins in one of the photos.

What is wrong with "Labbaek Yaa Hussain"? As per the Holy Prophet (PBUH), Hasan and Hussain are the Kings of Jannaat, so why not have their names on the coffin when it is them these shaheeds will eventually meet.

No name is bigger than the name of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) then why don't we write his name on the coffin? cause its disrespect my friend, that's why we don't write Hasan or Hussain's name on the coffin also. P.S I am not a Sunni or a Shia, I am what my Prophet (P.B.U.H) was "A MUSLIM"
