Pakistan Sufi Shrine Bombing Victims Obituary
The attack occurred during a Sufi ritual attended by pilgrims at the shrine. Many of the victims were women and children, and an additional 250 people were wounded.
Sufi is a long-standing tradition in Islam that focuses on the mystic aspects of the religion. Practitioners have been targeted by extremists who follow a more fundamentalist and austere form of Islam. The Islamic State – also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh – has claimed responsibility for the attack.
This month has seen a number of attacks on the government as well as civilians by terrorists, with Thursday’s shrine bombing being the deadliest. The Pakistani government has responded with a crackdown on known terrorist groups within the country.
Despite the attack, the practitioners of Sufi Islam plan to continue to attend their shrines but have called on the government for better protection.
“If they think this blast will create fear among the Sufi people, they are badly mistaken,” Nazar Husain Shah told Reuters, “They have been bombing shrines for long; have people stopped going to shrines?”

I am saddened when I learn of the death of innocent victims that did not have to take place.
People must realize that the killing of innocent people do not solve mankind's problems. They only add to the problems.
Please be encouraged to know that our Creator is aware of everything. He knows each victim that lost his or her life. He purposes to end all sadness that we currently experience today. Therefore, may each family member be encouraged to know that our creator will do just this at his appointed time.
I am sending my loving thoughts to each of you.

I am sorry to hear of the senseless killings of these victims. We are indeed living in what God's Word the Bible described as "critical times hard to deal with." (2Timothy 3:1-5) Very soon killings like these, sickness and pain and sorrow will be a thing of the past. This time will be made a reality by means of God's Kingdom in which we pray for in the Lord's Prayer. Once more I am sorry for your loss.
