Anniversary of Sialkot Shia Friday prayers massacre 2004 held in commemoration of more than 30 martyrs. Notorious ASWJ (Sipah-e-Sahaba) terrorists masterminded the terror attack on Shia Muslim worshippers.

Targically, Shia Muslims fell victims to genocider ASWJ aka Sipah Sahaba or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi on October 1, 2004. Furthermore, the suicide bomber stormed into Jamey Masjid Zainabia Sialkot during Friday prayers.

Particularly, he exploded killing namazis (worshippers) while the latter were offering Friday prayers. They didn’t spare even children and elderly namazis. Moreover, the mastermind and facilitators managed to flee the scene.

According to Islamic lunar calendar, 15th Shaaban falls on October 1, 2004 and that day Shia Muslims celebrate Imam Mahdi’s birthday.

Notably,  the 15th Shaaban also remains a sacred day for both Sunni and Shia Muslims but ASWJ-LeJ disregard sanctity of Sunni-Shia rituals.

However, Shia Muslims never forgot their martyrs, though, they lament inaction against the terrorists.

Meanwhile, they point to non-arrest of the culprits, let alone capital punsihmen to them.

As a result of the suicide bombing, 25 Shia Muslims martyred on the spot while six injured breathed last later.

Unfortunately, ASWJ-LeJ or Sipah-e-Sahaba remain notorious takfiri terror outfit across Pakistan. They destroyed Pakistan’s religious harmony, including Sunni-Shia Islamic unity.
