Red Cross halts most Pakistan aid after beheading
Reuters
All relief and protection activities are being stopped. All projects of rehabilitation, economic projects, have been terminated,” said Jacques de Maio, head of ICRC operations in South Asia, on one of the organization’s blog.
“We have closed a number of offices. We are also terminating all visits to detainees in Pakistan,” he added.
The agency, which rarely suspends its operations even in war zones, has worked in the country since the end of British colonial rule in 1947.
It was providing mainly health services and physical rehabilitation for victims of violence and natural disasters, many of whom have lost limbs.
The ICRC said it would focus on treating patients wounded in fighting and aimed to reopen a surgical field hospital in Peshawar. It has been closed since the murder of staff member Khalil Rasjed Dale, abducted by suspected militants in January.
The beheaded body of Dale, who ran a health program in the southwestern city of Quetta in the Baluchistan province, was found on April 29.

I don’t blame them in the least. Friggin’ animals!
I say fuck ‘em. All non-Mooselimbs should just leave that shithole and let it fall in on itself.

As usual the many suffer from the acts of a few…no..ah… from the acts of the whole fucking animal kingdom. Good for the Red Cross, the United States should be next. The goat fuckers are not worth helping. Very unchristian of me but I have had it up to here!

I will forever remember the face of a middle aged Pakistani woman who was filmed laughing, clapping and dancing in the street When the twin towers were bombed. She was one of many, but I remember her face. It was filled with glee.
Jackals. Nothing but predatory animals.

Remember these assholes are nuclear powers just like the U.S. Google: “youtube Closing the India/Packistan border ceremony.” I believe they do this every evening. Outrageous? Hillarious?

Doesn’t matter what you do to help these 5th century knuckle dragging morons, some animals just can’t nor should be domesticated.
I appreciate what the red cross does, but sometimes these do-gooders can’t comprehend the evil in some peoples hearts until one of their own goes off and loses his head.

The Red Cross doesn’t have any experience in head reattachment.

Where is the UN? Shouldn’t UN troops be protecting the operations of Red Cross volunteers? Oh wait, only US Marines protect Red Cross workers? Maybe the Red Cross shouldn’t be in places they aren’t protected by US Marines. Maybe the Red Cross shouldn’t be in places they aren’t wanted. Maybe we should tell the UN to kiss off. I stopped giving blood to the Red Cross years ago, and will continue to NOT support them and their Socialist agenda. Too bad, so sad.

Nothing like a GOOD ‘honor’ beheading of the people TRYING to help you!

The point is, why should the Red Cross need protection at all? If what they are doing is giving heath and humanitarian aid, why aren’t those efforts respected?
Islam respects nothing but itself. This scaling down on the part of the Red Cross ought to be a wake-up call for some of the fence-sitters. I won’t hold my breath, though.

the muzzies have the Red Crescent because they hate the Cross. They are the devil’s children.

Personally, I couldn’t give a shit about the Red Cross; they didn’t say jack shit about any of the other people being beheaded on videos, burned alive in school buildings, Christian pastors being hacked to death by machetes by Somali muslim, Iranians videotaped being hanged from cranes for being gay, women having their skulls bashed open by stones while others cheered… not one word! they only get upset when someone of their own circles gets beheaded, so obviously He was worth much more than, say, the other few hundred people tortured to death for entertainment by the muslims turds. So fuck YOU, Red Cross. Fuck YOU.

The Red Cross aided the Soviet revolution of 1917. ’nuff said.

Murphy’s Law #1: “No good deed goes unpunished.” Off with their heads, stupid do-gooders.
Remember, you people who try to actually live the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ was crucified for His good deeds!
My empathy to Dale’s family. This is when I have to rethink that forgiveness thing, too.

The Red Cross is still the last hope for a lot of people. Though I choose to donate mostly to Christian ministries who do the same work and more. I don’t put all my tithes in one basket, so to speak.

The Red Cross is still the last hope for a lot of people.
The American Red Cross and the International Committee of the Red Cross are separate organizations. I wouldn’t take 15 seconds out of my day to piss on the ICRC if they were on fire. Don’t confuse the two when they come around to ask for money.
