Re: Benazir accuses supporters of Zia-ul-Haq of being behind this latest atrocity
shriek: Enter Islam, which teaches you basic morals and principals. I mean, did Qazi sahab forget to instill some values into kids they were teaching Islam, or people teach their kids how to read the Quran in a language they don't UDNERSTAND only to not understand or practice Islam in the end.
It doesn't take rocket science to weigh 100 ruppees vs. putting your main household wage-earner's life in danger.
If people quit their laziness and took education seriously in Pakistan and if it were provided to people on a mass scale - 90% of this bull would end.
You're right - it does boil down to poverty and economic opportunity. But then dorks like Benazir should realize that this is the ONLY answer to eliminating extremism and jaahil behavior.
But they don't want people to get educated - that means, someone might challenge their leadership and their thekadaari that runs in their villages wont work anymore.
Nonetheless, I don't think one should cower down into pressure that easily. Pakistanis themselves are corrupt - they'll do anything for their ruppee.
