Not even a faint flicker of hope


Since the clerics are so much in these days, one can’t ignore the fact when they prefer to keep their mouths shut. And that also happens on a variety of occasions.

In the early 80s, some landlords in Punjab made women parade naked on the streets. They even blackened their faces. And this evil practice of insulting the very existence of women still continues to this day. I have never heard of any fatwa issued against this evil practice. I’m sure these maulanas cannot even think of taking a stand against such influential feudal lords.

It was on a panchayat order that a woman was gang-raped by men in this country. 3 year old girl child was raped & later on killed by 2 policemen. More than a decade ago, when an infant was left on the stairs of the mosque, one maulana ordered people to lynch the baby as he could have been illegitimate. Such babies are murdered every day but yeah they are killed in different way. Sometimes they even get rid of such babies by throwing acid on them; sometimes they leave them in garbage where strays harm them; sometimes they are buried alive. Clerics were even against Edhi when Edhi & his wife decided to provide home to such babies & begged people not to kill them.

I think the contribution of these clergymen is zero & when they do contribute, it’s invariably evil. They instigate people & those idiots kill people. This is not Islam.

Lately 2 pregnant women were tortured & killed by their own families but I never heard any fatwa against such husbands. Yesterday I reported about a woman who was tortured cause she took a short cut to reach home early & I’m sure noble people wouldn’t even bother to think about her.

People may say that incest cannot exist in any Islamic country, but very strangely, we all personally know victims of sexual abuse. Moreover, cases of harassment are also very common in universities, but no action has ever been taken against such teachers.

2 days ago, Veena Malik was insulted & humiliated on national TV. Had she been from an influential family, this wouldn’t have happened? People have this set, rotten view regarding actresses. I don’t even want to talk about that, but it only reflects how ugly & obscene people are. They don’t allow anyone to breathe in fresh air. They can’t see anyone happy or having fun.

When we talk about those who commit suicide, there are always people who of course have this holier-than-thou attitude about themselves & that allows them to weigh the faith of victims in their screwed up balance. Religion has only become a source of discrimination. I remember few days ago, this fanatic in a particular area killed some Ahmedi & said that he would kill all the Ahmedis in that vicinity.

What can one say about fanatics? They won’t ever protect the weak, but they would support any terrorist just because he/she is a Muslim. Countless women & men are in jail, thanks to infamous laws, but we are not even supposed to talk about that, cause it’s nothing short of blasphemy.

I haven’t seen clerics taking any action against those people who killed Muneeb & Mugheez. In fact, people to this day question their innocent. They were tortured to death & people made videos. It happened in the month of Ramazan.

A sex worker was recently raped but everyone was more concerned about her profession & character. So what if someone is a slut? Does it allow people to rape her & then get away with it?

I do not think only women are suffering. Even men, kids, teenagers, old people, eunuchs, prostitutes – they all have problems & the main reason behind every headache happens to be people who think they are more noble than the word noble. I know nothing has been done & nothing will ever be done. Only mad people will go on crucifying the innocent. This has always happened & this will continue to happen.

Two pregnant women tortured & killed by husbands


2 pregnant women were killed in Khanewal & Vehari by their husbands. In-laws were also party to it. The police have arrested both the husbands & one of them has admitted his crime.

In both the cases, the husbands believed their wives had illicit relationships.

Asma, who was 8 month old pregnant was actually killed in front of her mother. They (the husband & his family) beat her with iron rods. The signs of torture were visible on the body of the victim. Moreover, they were about to bury her, but the police seized the body.

Shaista is the other victim. She was also 8 month pregnant & the husband suspected her of having an affair with someone. She died after severe torture. Her husband has admitted that he killed her, cause they used to have constant fights. She wanted him to move out of his parents’ house.

These are cold-blooded murders. It just proves that there is not much difference between humans & beasts. Husbands are ever ready to kill wives on suspicion & they usually get away with it as well.

Incidentally both the victims were 8 month pregnant. One has to be really heartless to go on torturing pregnant women. Can’t they just divorce women, if they think they have cheated on them? Is it essential to murder someone? Does that make anyone man enough? We all know the answer to it.

In the Realm of Darkness


‘A mad man’s ravings, for example, are absurd in relation to the situation in which he finds himself, but not in relation to his madness.’

Jean-Paul Sartre

Another fatwa has been issued against Sherry Rehman by the imam of Sultan Masjid, which declares her a non-Muslim & demands death sentence. In fact a pamphlet has also been published by another clergy man & it has been distributed. However, the iman of Sultan Masjid denies issuing any fatwa whatsoever. Even Tanzeem-e-Islami (TI) said that the organization hasn’t issued & distributed pamphlets against Sherry Rehman.

However, it’s ironic that Muslims are not supposed to called another Muslim kafir or non-Muslim, but it happens quite religiously.

The only pamphlet that has been issued so far is about Tahafus-e-Namoos-e-Risalat & they admit distributing that pamphlet & it’s available on their website. They believe that the PPP government has hurt the feelings of the people by tabling the bill to amend the Blasphemy law through its MNA Sherry Rehman.

However, the MNA said, ‘We are all Muslims, & you can’t be a Muslim without protecting the Prophet (PBUH)’s sanctity.’ These people have not read what exactly being scribbled in the bill.

Anyhow, recently Salman Taseer has been assassinated for raising his voice. 500 lawyers are willing to defend Qadri who is also making YouTube videos in jail & ironically, Salman Taseer’s wife cannot find a single criminal lawyer. I wonder who would be the judge. Even judges & lawyers in these cases are mostly killed by fanatics.

Moreover, 70 pages were created in support of Qadri, but they have been pulled down by FB.

Aasia Bibi has been crying like anything & she said, ‘I know that everything that has happened is because of me. I know in my heart of hearts, that person came here & he sacrificed his life for me.’ Both Aasia & her husband were happy after meeting Salman Taseer. They thought Aasia would be pardoned & set free. He had been the only governor in the history of Pakistan who visited an innocent victim in jail & for that press conference, one community was so much hurt that they thought killing him would be the best option.

Pakistan has become a violent & intolerant state. Anyone who dares to fight for the right cause is killed. We can’t expect much of people who passed fatwas against Mr. Jinnah & called him kafir. They can’t respect anyone. They can only impose their views & when they come across anyone who wouldn’t listen to them, they hate him & issue fatwas.

The common man is left with no other choice but to keep his mouth shut or leave this country. I don’t see any hope. We’re doomed for sure. Speaking up against such laws is dangerous. Even the influential people are not spared. Going on a jahid is far more tough in this age, cause we don’t wage jahid in the battle field anymore.

It’s beyond me to comprehend as to why Muslims are invariably weighing the faith of another Muslim.

‘And on earth are signs for those who have Faith with certainty. And also in your ownselves. Will you not then see?

Surah Adh-Dhariyat

&

‘And indeed We have put forth every kind of example in this Quran, for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.’

Surah Al-Kahf

God is the only being who has the right to judge us & yet we have creatures playing god everywhere.
