btw, it is a really bad idea to have housing societies and residential areas based on religion or ethnicity. This makes the job of terrorists far easier. recently, we have witnessed numerous incidents where areas having majority of particular sect / religious affiliation were hit. It is time, people of such residential areas should device their own defense mechanism so that the attackers may not take them as sitting ducks.

Instead of blaming the victims, how about blaming the culprits for a change? It is the same mentality that blames a victim of rape instead of the rapist. It is the same mentality that doesn’t allow women to drive in Saudi. It is the same mentality which justifies some men to abuse women who come out without accompanying a male relative.

The issue is not separate residential areas. Because such a thinking has no end. Tomorrow there will be objection on separate mosques, different names, religious processions, and what not.

So instead of blaming the victims, it is better to blame the places where the hateful ideology nurtures. Stop the madrassahs causing religious hatred, stop the government’s collusion with extremists, stop fundings of extremists from our brotherly countries in the Middle East.

So kchughtai, do understand that the issue is extremist ideologies spreading in the country. Such a mentality will kill people whether they live in mixed houses or separate houses, whether they pray in a separate mosques or same mosques.
