Re: Tasee Killed - Warning for All
I am speaking with facts, you are speaking with fantasy. You want to believe there is an easy answer… ‘oh if only they were educated’. No. We have had these tendencies in us for a very long time. Remember that the Munir Commission Report was written in 1953. Unless you mean ‘education, awareness’ to mean a mindset where you arent disposed to kill someone who offends your religious sensibilities ofcourse.. in which case you’re kindof cheating. My grandmother wasnt educated, but she would never support killing Salman Taseer. Having forbearance and class is not just about whether you graduated from high school.
You need to address the following points:
- The killer is from Muslim Town, Pindi.. an area with 80% literacy rates, probably one of the most ‘educated’ areas in the country.
- Plenty of ‘educated’ people have offered him support… like the lawyers or his facebook fans.
The politicians have a much more indirect role for where the barelvies are than the barelvies themselves, and their religious leadership (which has long adopted vigilanteism to protect namoos-e-risalat)
