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?
