This reluctance to kill Muslims is a whole lot of bollocks.

The Pakistani Army had no remorse in killing 1 million Bangladeshis (most of whom were Muslims) within 10 months in 1971.

Muslim solidarity did not and is not preventing even now the Army/PAF from mercilessly bombing the Baluchs.

This is clearly a military coup in sly. By forcing the civilian government to grovel before the Talibans, the Army is discrediting it and creating a situation where people of Pakistan would welcome the army back into power.
