Daily Times: VIEW : Zero tolerance for extremism — Mohammad Ahmad
The Saudi influence in Pakistan and the adoption of extremist demands has led to the unhindered growth of extremism
The killing machines are operating full time. The Hazara genocide continues. Pakistan’s soul is being tortured as Quetta bleeds with one attack after the other. Buses taking pilgrims to Iran were previously the targets of choice. Then it was conveniently said that providing security to transport on the road to Iran at places distant from the city was not always possible. Now the target is the city but insecurity still rules. Rather than taking effective measures to eliminate terrorists, the federal interior minister only talks of making the Hazara area a red zone. Does that not implicitly mean that terrorists will be allowed to remain but only their entering the Hazara area would be made difficult?
It is not their appearance that is hated by their killers, it is their Shiite faith. In the land of the pure, having a differing faith has become a crime punishable by death in the eyes of some. The root cause of the problem lies in the narrow minds of murderers who consider all differing with them as heretics and apostates, and thus deserving death as punishment. This mindset is not new in Pakistan.
