Pakistan sectarian violence

The region has a decades-long history of sectarian violence, exacerbated by land disputes and proxy warfare.

So far in November, Pakistan has suffered around 89 terrorist attacks, including five suicide bombings, which left 298 people dead.

Pakistan is strengthening  its controversial anti-blasphemy laws – with potentially deadly results for religious minority groups.

Radicalization of the historically moderate Barelvi sub-sect and rapid growth of the local Islamic State chapter could trigger a new wave of inter-communal violence.

Given Pakistan's lax approach to religious extremist groups, it was only a matter of time before IS reared its ugly head.

At least 30 Shiite Muslims were killed and dozens others wounded in the suicide attack on a mosque in Peshawar.

A wide array of causes has led to Pakistan adopting a decades-old policy of appeasement toward anti-Shia militancy. The Hazaras pay the price.

Terror attacks and violence continues to plague the province – and the Hazaras bear the brunt of the danger.

More than 2,000 Hazaras have been killed since 2004, with the latest deadly attack on April 12.

Far from the headlines, a district in KP provides worrying evidence of a rise in religious hatred.

70 years later, the neighbors and rivals still struggle with the “unfinished business of partition.”
