The Qur’an forbids Muslims to kill other Muslims (4:92), but the jihadis of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan likely considered these wedding guests to be hypocrites or apostates, not least for rejecting the group’s authority.
The bomber himself was likely happy to ensure his place in paradise: “Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Seven killed, 25 injured as suicide bomber targets wedding ceremony in northwest Pakistan,” Associated Press, January 23, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
DERA ISMAIL KHAN: A suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest among guests at a wedding ceremony in northwest Pakistan on Friday, killing at least seven people and wounding 25 others, police said.
The attack took place at the home of Noor Alam Mehsud, a pro-government community leader in Dera Ismail Khan, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said local police chief Adnan Khan. He said officers transported the dead and injured to a hospital, where some of the wounded were listed in critical condition.
Witnesses said guests were attending the ceremony, with some dancing to the beat of drums, when the bomber struck.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, suspicion is likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, who are also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP and which has carried out numerous attacks in the country in recent years….

Only seven? Rookie!!!
When I wrote two of my novels, I put my protagonist in Pakistan. I read the Qur’an to get a mindset idea, but I had no antagonist yet. Then I found a headline. An omniciders detonated themselves at an open air market. 163 dead and over 300 injured. Twenty minutes later, I had my antagonist.

Let Pakistan deal with their own jihadis. So long as they stay confined to Pakistan, it should not concern outsiders.

Precisely! As they say in islam, alhamdulillah, or praise be to allah!
OLD GUY says
Problem is it won’t just stay in Pakistan.
jerry glenn says
It was such a peaceful explosion.
Peter Burrows says
Well, Islam is peace.
Walter Sieruk says
In Pakistan that Muslim who engaged in a jihadist sucide/ homicide bombing at that wedding ,did so because he was thoroughly deluded by the false religion of Islam , This Muslim ,no doubt, sincerely believed that he was doing the right thing, Be sure he would not have thrown his life away it he knew that committing that murderous bombing was the wrong thing to do’
This alone is more than enough proof of the folly of the fool saying ,which is “It doesn’t matter what you believe as as you’re sincere.”
That Muslim was sincere ,deadly death inflecting sincere . In other words , since is was acting sincerely believed he was doing right because he was completely deceived by the false doctrines of Islam , he ,literally , became , as it is termed “dangerous to self and others.” Too the most death -inflecting extent possible

“The bomber himself was likely happy to ensure his place in paradise”
Sadly, the bomber was deceived and is burning in hell as we speak.
Jesus said that “the devil comes to kill, to steal, and to destroy, but I have come to give life”. Clearly the devil is behind all of the killing that the bomber and others like him do.

Jesus also said to those who viciously opposed Him, “You are from your father the devil and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began;”

muzzies are never satisfied. They must be spilling blood at every opportunity. Raping small children and old people and murdering as many as possible….but they are never satisfied.
And there is no ‘paradise’ for the ghouls. The dead are, as King Solomon wrote, ‘aware of nothing, can do nothing,’ One who dies needs a resurrection to life in order to again know and do. Jesus will decide if this mass-murderer will ever know and do again.
I hope no little children were victims.

“muzzies are never satisfied. They must be spilling blood at every opportunity.”
Yes.
My father, a brilliant man, once told me that – for jihadists – a pint of blood is a daily meal.
somehistory says
James, your father was brilliant. So few are when it comes to islime.

There probably were children there–but Jihadists would not care.
