Islamabad Mosque Attack and the Federal Government silence have deepened fears over Terrorism

After the Islamabad mosque attack, Pakistan found itself grieving yet again. The Khadijatul Kubra mosque—once a place of peace—became the site of horror. People all over the country felt the shock. The Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) called for a Day of Mourning, and folks responded. You saw condolence gatherings, rallies, and protests in more than 50 places. The pain was everywhere.

This attack wasn’t just another headline. It was a punch to the nation’s sense of safety, a reminder that even sacred spaces can’t escape violence. Families are shattered. Communities are scared. And mosques, which should be safe havens, feel more vulnerable than ever.

Grief poured into the streets. Crowds marched in cities and small towns, their anger and sorrow impossible to miss. MWM’s Sindh chapter organized demonstrations at district offices. It didn’t matter where you looked—the mood was the same. People wanted answers.

Religious and political leaders—Allama Baqar Abbas Zaidi, Allama Hayat Abbas Najafi, Allama Sadiq Jafri—stood with the mourners. They didn’t mince words. In their speeches, they called the attack what it was: a brutal act of terrorism. They made it clear—targeting worshippers is unforgivable, no matter who you are or what you believe.

But as the nation mourned, another wound started to fester. The federal government’s silence felt louder than any rally. MWM leaders didn’t hold back. They said this lack of action and indifference has encouraged extremists and chipped away at public trust. People are tired of hearing empty statements when what they need is real protection.

Extremist groups still organize rallies and spew hate, right under the government’s nose. There’s no real crackdown, no meaningful change—just words. Terror attacks have become disturbingly common, and official responses rarely go beyond the usual statements.

MWM leaders stressed that what happened in Islamabad isn’t some one-off tragedy. Bomb blasts and attacks on religious sites keep happening. There’s a clear pattern, and it points to bigger problems with Pakistan’s approach to fighting terrorism.

Some leaders went even further, saying extremist networks are being protected and even linked to foreign intelligence agencies. Whether or not those claims are true, they reveal just how angry and frustrated people feel. Right now, it looks like terrorists act without fear of consequences.

The Day of Mourning sent a message: silence isn’t an option anymore. MWM demanded real investigations, quick arrests, and the exposure of anyone helping these attackers. Leaders warned that if the government can’t keep people safe, it has to answer for it.

They promised to keep pushing for justice. The blood of innocent people won’t be swept under the rug.

The Islamabad mosque attack has become a turning point for Pakistan. It’s not enough to offer condolences. People want action, answers, and a real promise of safety—no matter their sect or beliefs.

As the mourning continues, the message from the streets couldn’t be clearer: terrorism can’t become just another routine tragedy, and silence from the top won’t cut it anymore.
