It is a well known fact that the plight of non-Muslim minorities - Hindus, Christians and Sindis etc. in Pakistan is very sad, but to note a miserable treatment of Shites in Pakistan in the hands of Sunnis is equally shameful.The social and political trends being witnessed by the world in Pakistan lead one to infer that the country is gearing towards introducing laws promulgated in the Sharia.  Lack of enforcement of law, diminishing power of the judiciary, uncontrollable corruption, lack of education in general, poverty and insurmountable power in the hands of military/ISI and the jihadi groups are all symptoms of anarchy.  Needless to say that the minorities in Pakistan are the victims and this victimization is being enforced on  them by the petro dollars.  It is true that the civilized world is cognizant of this fact, but is turning a blind eye on the flow of petro dollars to perpetrate this victimization - either due to economic, political or diplomatic sensitiveness.  It may work in the short run, but in the long run if this merciless killing and torturing of minorities is not stopped by the Sunnis and jihadis, the civilized world will pay dearly at the end.  By not taking a note of this inhumane behavior, the world is strengthening the hands of militants not only in Pakistan but on a worldwide basis.  This writer holds the view that eventually these jihadis will become a time bomb waiting to be exploded in front of our eyes.  Is that the civilized world is waiting for?
