Malala
Yousafzai, a sign of optimism, firmness and courage was cruelly, nearly
fatally, shot by some barbarian who claimed that she was shot because she had
different views and because she spoke against the barbarians who show
themselves as champions of Islam.
It was
really good to see how the whole nation raised their voice against the cowardly
act but at the same time very sad because the whole nation never stood for
those who were killed in Mastung, Kohistan and Babusar. Also everyday people
lose their loved ones just because the belong to a different school of thought.
Except for a few statements from political parties which are empty in nature,
no civil society or even our Judiciary rises for those being killed for having
different belief.
In short as
our society grows, we are slowly becoming more like cowards. Because we don’t
have the wits to stand up against such groups which are acting like parasites.
The most we do is to join protest on Facebook. And how to forget our political
parties. All issued statements against the act of terror but none gave any
statement against those who were involved in such a crime. And that sums up the
whole situation. Even the peace march taken out either in Waziristan or in
Karachi; none of them stated Taliban or other splinter groups as there enemy.
And it was painful when PTI and Jamat Islami stated that Taliban attack
civilians because of drone attacks.
Against
blasphemy film we are even ready to lay down our lives and are up in arms
destroying our own property. But the same groups are silent and hiding when it
comes to Malala or even other sectarian target killing cases.
The only
reason why I am asking you to rise against these monsters who are operating
under different names is that today in past it was Mastung, Kohistan and
Babusar, in present it is Malala and countless other innocent people losing
their lives to sectarian hatred and in future God Forbid You and Your family
could be next.
Worshiping the
Creator, and befriending the Devil!
