Re: Growing intolerance in Pakistani society, What is the solution?
The curtailment of speech is based on the harm its causing. Religious speech, in the form of fatwas or justifications for religious and sectarian violence, is causing harm. Liberal writers or posters bashing molvies on bulletin boards are not. Since the harm is not comparable, the demand for taking an equal view of both speeches is ludicrous, especially since harm is the basis on which the speech is being curtailed in the first place.
