Hate Message

I just got this sms from an ex colleague:

"We condemn the verdict given by American Supreme Court against Dr. Afia Siddiqui. We also condemn the reaction Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani. We hate you Israel. We hate you America. We hate you India. You are the real terrorists. Please add your vote and keep forwarding. 00025645"

Now this is a very disturbing hate message. Unlike many Pakistanis that were very emotional about the injustice being done against this woman. The media also played a lot with the minds of Pakistanis here. And now after she has been sentenced to 86 years of imprisonment, such hate messages are being shared. I don't understand who gives people the right to just openly call anybody terrorists. It is shameful and a very uneducated approach. Tolerance is lacking in abundance here.

Just where are we heading?

These are bad times & one has such a bad feeling about everything.

There is bloodshed everywhere. 1000 shops have been burnt in this frenzy. Which means countless folks have been deprived of their bread & butter. When people get angry, why don’t they set fire at their own abodes? Why do they harm others? They burn petrol pumps & other peoples’ cars & buses.

All of us are sad, but all of us are not nuts. Who are these terrorist? And why the hell the government is not able to locate them? The government is never helpless. My father was a government servant & I also know other people who are big shots. And believe me these people have access to everything. It just seems that they do not care.

Yesterday when my siblings went out to buy something, they didn’t see the police anywhere…even in places where they are always seen. What does this mean? In fact the police is never around when we have riots in the city.

Just come to think of it, 1^st innocent people were being killed & then those who are being left are deprived of their livelihood. Just where are we heading?
