Thoughts on Religious frenzy in Pakistan

They were here we never noticed it. and let them grow and they have become monsters. I still remember 1995 in Lahore we were buying corn from a rehri and there was my female class fellow with me and it was summer she was wearing dupatta in her neck a mullah passed near her and made some stupid remarks which I did,nt listen I asked her what happened she said kuch nhin huwa . I insisted and then she tried to avoid it and said it happens. I asked her correct words then it was why you are not wearing dupatta on your head . I wanted to rush and ask that guy who the hell you are to tell her this? BUt my class fellow stopped me but I was really angry although it was my first year in lahore . This non sense was there.

And we let it grow by our own complacency, we never spoke against this abuse on name of religion and this has become fashion now to do all non sense things on name of religion and stifle debate and healthy way of life. We are afraid now to speak truth, mullah has taken over terms and definitions of Islam as per his narrow interpretation.

These bigots pasted wrong translations of Qur'an in public transport and distributed pamphlets on all non sense issues. they have hijacked the space of thinking and by propaganda taken all the authority of dictating norms of society in their own hands. and we merely say it is reaction to USA, no these are inner complexes and are inhuman and against spirit of humanity and Islam.

اداسی

 اداسی اور بے بسی بے عملی اور کٹھور پن.
