Religious parties got enough power to bring laws like Huddod Ordinance and its not about forming government at center. If we read Constitution of Pakistan, these religious parties were able to get inserted certain clauses against minorities, which shaped the society we are living today.

As the issue under discussion is treatment of minorities, we should consider our own country and its minorities. From burning of Christian couple to killing of Salman Taseer coupled with glamorising his murderer (his naat CDs sold like hot cake. More popular than Hydrabad’s Bomaby Bakery cake). How come we are able to tag other country fascist and defend ours for same treatments met by minorities?

I’m not against secularism and liberalism. I’m against the type of secularism preached by likes of Paracha, which doesn’t respect religious sentiments of others. I’m all for secularism when it allows all religious factions exercise their religion and religious sentiments are not mocked at.

All the incidents you mentioned have been condemned by everyone I know and also on GS. So why should we not condemn when the same happens in India or is India special case? We have discussed these incidents in detail in PA, nowhere did anyone come and post that we should not condemn such incidents because it also happens in India, so why do we become defensive and start condemning Pakistan and defending India when it happens there and is discussed.
