[English] Shia Genocide and Public Apathy | Sohaib Ahmed


We are currently going through the holy month of Ramadan and Muslims all around the world are especially engaged in Prayers and worship. In Pakistan all the TV channels have launched special Ramadan transmissions and every channel wants to outdo the other in attaining this pious aim. To meet this objective, they have imposed all manner of conjurers on the viewing public, all in the name of Ramadan, of course. Among these experts, someone is an expert in communicating with Jinns while another is serving Islam by publically bringing people in the fold of Islam whereas another is enumerating the qualities of Bhopal to the public. In short, everyone wants to brighten the name of Islam and make the masses aware of the blessings of Ramadan by presenting some stunt or the other.
On the other hand, coincidentally a few days earlier the nation celebrated her Independence Day with full traditional passion and on this occasion the entire media also launched special transmissions highlighting different issues relating to independence, for example how independent is Pakistan, what are its problems, where does it stand and what sort of Pakistan did Jinnah envisage. Aside from all these special transmissions, dozens of eloquent, trailblazing TV anchors also opine on issues like corruption, justice and other related matters on a daily basis in different talk shows   readmore at alufaq.com

Forced to flee Pakistan

When Zakria Nasrullah Khan heard the third gunshot, he realized it wasn’t a tire bursting or a car backfiring. It was two men shooting at him and his mosque, the one that his father and 6-year-old son had just entered. The one he and other security volunteers were guarding, unarmed. The one the terrorists barricaded from the inside as they shot worshippers. “I haven’t felt more desperate than that point in time,” he said. The May 28, 2010 attack in Lahore, Pakistan lasted for hours, complete with grenade and suicide bomb explosions. More than 60 people were killed, including Khan’s father and several friends. His son, now 8, survived with no injuries. A month later, Khan received death threats: one text message was two mock headlines announcing his death and his acceptance of mainstream Islam.
