I am here to offer my condolences to the moderates and the not so moderates who can still differentiate between right and wrong.
The past few days, the agitation supporting the blasphemy law was an attack on moderate voices in society. The latest bit of news is a loud announcement that any one who dares to stand against these regressive forces will be killed.
In my opinion only way to act against bullies is to stand up against it.
The government of Pakistan should immediately pass laws which promise strict action against any one who uses religion to justify violence. These laws should be implemented strictly.
Further polarisation by all Pakistani politicians in the name of religion should be stopped.
All forms of media which glorify violence in the name of religion have to be stopped.
A large media campaign to appeal to the moderate voices in society should be started immediately. The moderates shouldn't shy away from this challenge. Your country needs you.
To quote Gandhi,
