Shameless PAK Politician REHMAN MALIK tries to blame on " RAW " for the Mosque Massacre. In fact, they are the true Terror Leaders. Ahmedia Muslims are " DECLARED " non-muslims and National Assets Terrorists are given License to Kill. Terror Camps are still " INTACT " in POK under the banner of Kashmir Freedom Fighters and the new Breed of Terrorists are ready to strike anywhere. Pak Politicians are Masters in Aiding, Soliciting, Shielding and Misguiding the World for the Home Grown Terrorists. Bangladesh The Largest Muslim Country was also declared Non-Muslims and Pak Army killed 1000's of innocent people & Raped 10000's of girls, including Minors in 1971. It has become PAK's Policy to declare any Community or Country as Non-Muslims to " DESTROY " them, but forgets that under the Law of Nature every of their sinful action hits them back like " BOOMERANG ".
