What are the chances of a thread about the persecution of minorities getting hijacked and derailed into another india v Pak thread? Oh never mind, it's already happened.
On Topic: Pakistanis (I am not mentioning religion, because as far as I am concerned, religion is a personal matter) need to get our act together and work out a way to stop this extremist madness. These thugs are doing nothing more then using religion to kidnap girls, this is in my thinking a capital crime. Why is there no moral outrage by our esteemed politicians, the dancing lawyers who shower petals on killers? the self declared civil society of burger boys and old aunties? Why are they trying to throw it under the "but every one is targeted in Pakistan, including mosques etc" when they know full well that many people in Pakistan are very nosy about other peoples religion and want to "revert" to the true faith.
They are targeting Hindus and Christians because they are seen as very vulnerable in terms of their social standing. It is really sad that our so called Islamic government has failed to honour the example set by Prophet Muhammad (saw), for it is the responsibility of the majority to ensure the protection of the minority. What example do you think this holds up in front of non Muslims and non Pakistanis?
And I just feel like leaving this poem by Hazrat Bulleh Shah (rh) because it so tragically describes the conditions of todays Mullahs:
Rab Rab karday budhay ho gaye mullah pandit saaray
Rab da khoj khura na labda sajday kar kar haaray.
Rab tay tery andar wasda vich quran isharay,
Bulleh shah
Rab onhu milda jerha apnay nafs nu maaray!!
If these people who kidnapped these girls understood the last line and its importance in Islam, then they would never do these lanti acts.
