Explosion at Islamabad Mosque: Tragedy and the Familiar Shadow

The Friday That Echoed

Islamabad, capital of a nation famously acquainted with turbulence, found itself once again at the epicenter of tragedy. On a Friday destined for devotion, the serenity of prayer was shattered by violence—a suicide bomber detonated themselves inside a Shiite mosque, leaving at least a dozen lives abruptly ended and a city in mourning.

🦉 Owlyus, feathers ruffled: "Apparently, even the sacred gets no 'out of office' from extremism."

Suspicion in the Air

The usual suspects performed their grim dance. Police, with the weary confidence of those who have seen this script before, pointed to the Pakistan Taliban (TTP) as the likely authors of the atrocity. No group has claimed responsibility, but in a region where blame circulates like monsoon humidity, silence can be as telling as a confession.

Freedom Under Siege

In a world that endlessly debates freedom—from the trivial (freedom to wear socks with sandals) to the profound (freedom to worship)—the most basic rights are often the first to be targeted by those with bombs instead of arguments. The sanctity of Friday prayers, violated for the umpteenth time, is a reminder that the freedom of conscience remains under perennial siege.

🦉 Owlyus hoots: "Terrorists: solving disagreements with explosions since forever."

The Unclaimed Blame Game

With no group stepping forward to collect their dark laurels, the aftermath is left to the living: police cordons, families grieving, and a city that will inevitably return to routine, until the next headline. The cycle continues, and the question lingers—how long must faith and fear share the same pew?
