Remember killers has no religion
Pakistanis strongly believe that the ‘imported militants’
who claim to be the true Muslims are the worst enemies of Muslims and the
agents of enemies of Islam. They are adamant at killing people to plunge the
country into anarchy and ultimately into the civil war. Their sole objective is
to kill people.
Over the years they have been killing Shias and Sunnis to
create an impression of sectarian rift, which no Pakistani is willing to
accept. They have also tried linguistic divide. They collect booty and indulge
in kidnapping for ransom only to collect money to buy arms. They also get funds
and arms from outside.
This evening I had gone to a family friend’s house for the
condolence of his grandfather.
When I reached home two news reports virtually
shattered my nerves, first a blast at a mosque in Peshawar and second burning
of houses of Christians in Lahore. News reporters may give these killings and
burnings any angle but it is brutal and media must say in loud and clear words
that killers are not Muslims and must be punished.
According to initial report in the explosion inside a mosque
in Peshawar at least five people have been killed and 29 others injured. The
blast took place inside the mosque and the device was planted near the
front row of the congregation and people were getting ready to pray when the blast
occurred.
Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has
been the site of several terrorist attacks in recent months. The city is
surrounded by tribal regions where Al Qaeda and Pakistani Taliban militants are
said to have hideouts.
In another incident an enraged mob torched dozens of houses
located in a Christian-dominated neighborhood of Lahore. Fearing for their
safety, hundreds of Christian families have fled the area.
The mob attacked the houses in Lahore, Punjab’s capital
following allegations of blasphemy against a Christian man. It appeared that
the man had been falsely accused of blasphemy but the police was forced to
register a case to placate the mob, a local police official said.
Speaking to a private television channel, Punjab Law
Minister Rana Sanaullah said the accused was in police custody. Sanaullah said
all those involved in the arson would be arrested, adding that his government
would try to rehabilitate the affected Christian families.
Rana Sanaullah is not alone, president, prime minister,
chief ministers, governors and even political leaders issue such stereo type
statements, and no culprit is arrested or punished. All are acquitted by
honorable courts because of lack of evidence.
