Treatment of Minorities in Pakistan & Killing of Priest - Jan31, 2022

TREATMENT OF MINORITIES IN PAKISTAN AND RECENT KILLING OF PRIEST IN KARACHI - Jan 31, 2022

This topic needs lot of careful attention before we attempt to write something on it but unfortunately time is the silent enemy. Hence, I am only giving below comments by two readers posted on the Facebook news by 'The Express Tribune' (Pakistan) yesterday (30th Jan, 2022). To repeat, a Priest in Karachi was killed on Monday, 30th Jan, 2022.

 It is tragically ironic that as soon as such a news is posted by local leading English Newspapers of Pakistan, almost everybody starts commenting about mistreatment of minorities in Pakistan and 'intolerance' without even trying to understand everything. Anyhow it's a long debate and we do need to counter intolerance in Pakistan but it exists everywhere, even in the West at different levels.

Just three hours ago, today (Jan 31st, 2022), THE EXPRESS TRIBUNE reported on Facebook about the Funeral of Christian Pastor in Karachi and again mentioned about 'unidentified assailants' on the second day. But our Educated English Speaking Pakistanis lost control the very first day and immediately started commenting about 'intolerance' and 'mistreatment of minorities in Pakistanis'. As we see nothing has been found about killers even till the second day.

HERE ARE THE TWO COMMENTS - FIRST ONE IS BY SOMEONE ELSE AND SECOND ONE IS BY ME

FIRST: While this is an extremely unfortunate incident, minority killings are highlighted because they are very few in number in Pakistan. There is no evidence yet to suggest that this killing was due to the victims' religion and any claim about religious hatred towards these people being the reason for this attack is baseless. Wait for the investigation first people. A lot of muslim people are also gunned down in our country repeatedly and not due to their religion.

SECOND COMMENT (BY ME): While this is extremely sad news but much more Muslims are being killed in Pakistan than the minority elements. We do care about any human being in Pakistan regardless of his / her religion but this is no way to think minorities are treated wrongly in Pakistan. Exceptions are always there and racist crimes exist in the West also.

Hollywood Stars Stand With Emma Watson - 18th Jan, 2022

 

HOLLYWOOD STARS STAND WITH EMMA WATSON

- 18th January, 2022

[ACCOMPANIED BY END NOTE BELOW]

More than 40 film stars, Mark Ruffalo and Susan Sarandon, sign a petition supporting the Harry Potter star’s pro-Palestinian stance.

Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon, Steve Coogan, Gael Garca Bernal, and Viggo Mortensen, among others, have endorsed Emma Watson, the Harry Potter actress, after her social media post about Palestinian solidarity drew ire from Israeli officials.

"We join Emma Watson in supporting the simple statement that solidarity is a verb,' including meaningful solidarity with Palestinians fighting for their human rights under international law," said a statement signed by more than 40 members of the film industry Notables.

END NOTE: While we can share this piece of good news about how some Hollywood Actors have directly or indirectly supported the cause of Palestine, it should be remembered that being Muslims we should be careful about following these celebrities. It is because we know that our salvation lies in clinging to the principles of Islam as much as we can depending on our respective circumstances and environments. Hence, we need to draw some lines in between whenever we are addressing such issues. There is no doubt that many Non-Muslims are much finer human beings than many Muslims themselves though!
