Bloody idiots blaming India for the attacks. Just accept that Pakistan is a very dangerous country with lots of terrorists. Don't blame india. This is like the time that some retards said that the spot-fixing incident was a big scam by India. I mean, wtf?! I don't mean to be stereotypical, but in my experience on YouTube, pakistanis just cannot face facts. The Sri Lankan team was attaked by pakistani terrorists. Period.

@purbelikanchhi you are wrong to think that all muslims are terrorists. there are sensible humans on both sides of the border and i count myself in them. it is very unfair to attack a particular community for that.

even if there is a natural disaster in porkistan, porkis will blaim India, claiming that, since india worship stones so they have done this to damage image of pakistan. abe chutye ke paththon, image uski bigardti hai jiski image hoti hai, pakistan ki image na kabhi hi aur na kabhi ab banne waali hai.

Haha Pakistan is a fucked up country, I know many Pakistanis that fled the country. How would India be behind the attack? They pulled out of the matches because of security concerns....dumbass. I'm sure it was bin Laden behind the attack since he's been or was hiding in Pakistan for years fucking pigs on his spare time which he had a lot of before he got a COD headshot.
