Re: Palestinian children killed by Israel=bad, Ahmadi children killed by Pakistanis=.
one more thing…while every society has religious bigots but the difference is that in our society such religious bigots are increasingly promoted, admired and cheered on the name of religious passion and ghariat. That makes us unique.
I was in Pakistan when mumtaz qadri incidence happened and i was shocked the way he was admired in every corner of our society including otherwise sane educated people. I discussed that incidence with my driver , cook, educated uncles, journalists, lawyers, bureaucrats, professors and majority had a sympathetic attitude towards qadri (there were some sane people but very very few)…my parents had to stop me from discussing this issue as they were scared for my life.
and I knew with deep sadness that my country’s future is severely compromised when i saw that murderer Qadri being heavily garlanded by a huge group of educated lawyers when he was brought to the court…i mean among all people, freakin lawyers were doing that who are supposed to follow the law…asthagfarullah…in which society will you expect such behavior? I really felt suffocated.
only recently, i commented on the hatred that we have cultivated against “hanood wa yahood”…those who are born and raised in Pakistan know what i mean…let me add qadyanis to this list as well. the amount of nafrat our masses have for qadyanis is just toxic…poor qadyanis simply hide their identities.
obviously there is something terribly wrong within our societal behavior as well as constitutional framework (aka blasphemy laws for example ) that first needs to be openly admitted and then aimed to be corrected.
i don’t get the hanood/yahoodi connection. what is a hanood anyway? do people really think in terms of hanudi/yahoodi? Is Hanoodi a commonly used word?
