Mumbai Terror Attacks- How Pakistani Orkut users responded?

The 26/11 attack is one such act of terror which has shaken the faith and trust in Humanity, not only in India but it has effected the whole world. We all are aware that information revealed that, Pakistan and its intelligence agency ISI is considered to be the prime suspect of the terror attack. Now, the investigation is yet to be done, but media all over the world displayed that how and why, its being told that links connect with the Pakistan.
We got to see, the anger, dismay, frustration, helplessness and awakening of Indian people as an aftermath. But, after Indians the people who are affected in the biggest way are Pakistanis. Though, they didn’t lose their loved ones, nor did any of their army personnel got the pleasure of a martyr’s death, but then they are affected because they are the one who are being blamed for this massacre. As a wave of consternation was seen among the Indian users on orkut, we tried and got to know what Pakistani users of Orkut have to say on this. Orkutheroes approached many such orkut members of the Pakistan origin and the views we got are worth sharing:
My common question to all was: How did you react after getting the news of Mumbai Terror Attacks? What are your opinions when Indian securities and media are blaming Pakistan after knowing that one terrorist who caught alive is a Pakistani national?
Here is what citizens of Pakistan came up with:
1.
Mohammad Assad an Engineering Student from Karachi: Well…first of all, it was indeed sad to witness human intellect denigrate to such nadir that one needed violence to convey a point. The incident drew instant condemnation from me and those around me and we all had sympathies with the victims.
However beyond the necessary human concern, I personally was indifferent to this attack. I knew for sure that Indians would blame this on Pakistan, you see that’s nothing new, and we had enough of our own worries to care about so I thought it was prudent that we focus on our own issues rather than caring about what India thinks about Pakistan.

Sherry Manzoor, doing PhD in aerospace, Paris: I was shocked which over came by grief when I saw the initial footage of the railway station. In my opinion every human life is priceless. There can be no greater shame or cowardice then killing innocent/unarmed/un-aware civilians. If I could, I would kneel before each grieving mother and tell her that I for one Pakistani do not agree to what happened in Mumbai. I have a lot of Indian Friends; we followed news together discussing and exchanging ideas over how our countries should react to this. Frankly, so far all the evidence, the Fairness cream, the touch me cream, Karachi newspaper… Pakistani tailor marks… Prayer caps… any of these things could be very easily taken anywhere else in the world and planted as evidence. I am surprised, for a group of people who carried out such a coordinated attack; it seems weird that they would carry along their identities on them. Moreover, the alive terrorist can be made to say whatever the investigating person wants him to say. That’s why statements obtained under duress do not hold any legal weight. I would wait until something shapes up between our two Governments. Only then I shall make an opinion. Who knows he is a Pakistani National? India’s agencies, who by the way failed to protect India in the first place. Moreover, who have a history of giving false statements as in the Samjhota Express Case and the Malegaon Explosions Case? Not to mention blaming the sick rats on ISI for the plague. In this entire context, I would rather wait. The good thing is that our Governments have agreed to share intelligence and work together on this. Besides, Pakistan is already under tremendous global pressure to cooperate in the investigations.
Let us see what comes-up.

Nouman a student from Sialkot: “Jab maine attacks ke baare mein suna to mujhe utna he dukh hua jitna marriot hotel ka sun kar hua tha. Innocent people ko marna kisi bhi mazhab main jaiz nahi.
aur jab maine suna tha mujhe pata tha ke Alzamat Pakistan par he lagain ge. iss liye main phele se he tayar tha. Yeh koi new baat nahi thee.
Aur wo Pakistani hai iss ka saboot kaya hai?
Jin logo ne yeh kiya hai wo Pakistan aur india ko apas main larana chehte hain iss liye puri planing ho ge.
aur iss k alawa main tum se aik baat main tum se puchta hoon,
Obrai, Taj, Nerman house seb ki security locals k baghair torna kase possible hai.”
Translated: When I heard of attacks, I felt the same pain which I felt at the time when I heard about Marriot Hotel. Killing innocent people is not justified by any religion. And when I heard of it, I already knew that it would be Pakistan who’ll be blamed for this. This is nothing new.
What’s the proof that they are Pakistanis?
May be it’s the result of some people’s bad intention who want India and Pakistan to fight. They must have done it with a proper planning.
One question, which I would like to ask you is, “Is it possible to break the security at Taj, Oberoi, and Nariman house without the support of localities’?

Zyed Qureshi is a student from Hyderabad Pakistan: Dear Indian brothers and sisters; I am writing this my opinion in the wake of Mumbai attacks that killed 200 people and injured many. It is an act of terrorism which must be condemned with loud words. The minute the Mumbai attacks happened, I prayed to Allah, that “Ya Allah, please don’t bring the signs of this attack to Karachi, Delhi, Islamabad, Kolkata or any other cities of Pakistan and India”. My heart cried and my eyes were watery after seeing random innocents dying in Mumbai. I said to myself, what if one of my friends or my relatives was their at the moment and was killed like that. It was a heart breaking situation.
But most of all, join hands and become united for the sake of our subcontinent. It may have given us nothing but its equally possible we may have not given it anything either, may be its time for us to give something to our Mother Land and protect it AGAIN! From the evil and corrupt thinking of western world
As far as I am concerned I will and can criticize all day the both indi/Pak governments and the their policies.
May Allah Bless Both countries.

Syed Ata-ur-rahman zaidi is a computer engineer at Quetta: it was a very sad incident which is happened and i strongly condemn it. Well all the blames are false when a suicide attack was done at Marriott Islamabad no body says that it was a attack from India so it totally a false propaganda

Umar is M Phil/PhD level student at Liverpool UK and belong to Rawalpindi : First of all let me tell you something about me, I’m from Pakistan but I have been studying in UK for the last two years, I have made many Indian friends here and have a very good relationship with them. as a matter of fact I am currently sharing flat with a friend who is from Mumbai. I have been informed of all the events that happened in Mumbai by him and by watching the news together, and I am sorry for all the people who have lost their lives. I being a Muslim and Pakistani condemn this act of terrorism. The terrorist caught is said to be of Pakistani nationality but if you ask me terrorism doesn’t have any nationality or color. Because a true Muslim would not kill innocent people and a patriot Pakistani would not put his country in jeopardy knowing that Pakistan is already going through a tough time. It should be therefore kept in mind that there could be other factors that could have misleader this terrorist if he is Pakistani, and the government and general people of Pakistan appose such act of terrorism.

M-M is a network engineer from Islamabad: I, just like everyone else around me was shocked, dismayed while watching tragedy being unfolded. An innocent life lost regardless of nationality, religion, race is worth a mourn by entire humanity, its the killing of humanity itself. May god give patience and courage to the families of victims and may the departed souls rest in peace
Within hours and even before the alleged ‘Pakistani’ terrorist was nabbed, Indian Officials and Indian media started pointing their finger towards Pakistan which in my opinion wasn’t an appropriate thing to do, it sent wrong signals
Indian media instead of asking their government about the security lapse and challenging filmy evidence are busy churning out stories that seem nothing less than a bollywoodish script embedding typical Muslim stereotypes. The irresponsibility and sensationalism shown by Indian media has contributed a lot in escalating tensions between two countries, I hope they will show more responsibility and maturity while dealing with this issues instead of making it a TRP race
I hope both governments will sort out the issue in cool headed and sane manner.

Sarmad Khan is a college student from Karachi: Well, first time I heard it on the NEWS I was shocked because according to me no normal person at the time would feel happy for the innocent lives that have been lost in the attacks. Secondly I was shocked on how loose security Mumbai had, as this attack started simultaneously in different areas with pre-planning and would have taken a lot of time for putting such actions into execution.
And I haven’t heard any news from either Indian or Pakistani channels about a Pakistani national being caught in the act but according to the research done by dawn NEWS and GEO tv of Pakistan, 21 active radar stations of Indian navy are in the range of the route they (Indians) described how Pakistani terrorists sailed/travelled to Mumbai and were not caught; not even the Indian media did any research. The decisions taking by the India, as well as the blames against Pakistan are totally base-less. No proofs, why?

Aabid student in Karachi: I felt terrible the way so many people lost their lives in the terrorist attack. Such attacks are to condemned in strongest words possible
I believe that Indian Govt. is using Pakistan as scape goat to hide inefficiency of its security personnel and for covering up possible Indian elements behind the attacks. Indian Media is behaving as its Govt’s right hand as ever and has waged a propaganda war against Pakistan.
We Pakistanis don’t really believe that there are concrete proofs available to prove Pakistani hand in the attacks and that has been accepted by both Great Britain and United States too. There are accusing ISI, Pakistan Navy etc of supporting terrorists which is a joke because Pakistan itself is in grip of worst domestic violence than India.
Even the persons who were shown in media as LET terrorists don’t look like Jihadis at all. Jihadis are supposed to have beard, they don’t drink alcohol and wont fly around in latest Versace shirts. Moreover, Pakistani infiltrators cant be so perfect . Even the persons who were shown in media as LET terrorists dont look like Jihadis at all. Jihadis are supposed to have beard, they don’t drink alcohol and wont fly around in latest fashion outfits.
We believe that Indian media is simply cooking up stories against Pakistan, nothing else. India should try to look upon its own internal elements that can be behind the attacks.

Ammar Khan Rajar student of BBA Karachi: of course it was not a good news because at the end innocents are killed…but we were now habitual of listening such kind of news in Pakistan..
We already know that at any how India is going to blame Pakistan…as India also blamed Pakistan for terrorist attack on samjota express but at the end it is found that Indian working general was involved in that.
