This is an absurd piece of text, most probably written with the ONLY aim to cause mayham. I strongly suggest everyone to please research “Management by Chaos” to understand that this is the new version of “Divide and Rule” policy of yester years.
The fact is that, be it Shia or Sunni or any other divide which exists similarly in any society of the world, there are acts/beliefs/etc which are not shared across the divide. Our concentration needs to be on the fact that we are all one under the umbrella of a common nation, which is Pakistan.
Wrongs would be there, however the wordings to highlight the wrong should not smell of “Fasad”, and the readers should crap any text which tries to feed on hate.

Dear Ahsan
It is not the United States which is dividing the Muslim world. It is the Saudi Wahabis. The Americans can befriend teh Shias if it suits them. But the Saudis want to exterminate all Shias, Ahmedis, and the Brelvis. Thanks.

Its a nice article written by a Patriot.
Swain! PLEASE do not fulfill the agenda of USA to devide the Muslims and kill them. Now its an open secret that Taliban and Alqaeda are American Puppits, who kill innocent Muslims in the name of war against America. They killed a million innocent Muslims in Iraq and now they want to do same in Pakistan.

And yes Saudia is backing these Zalimaans as Saudia is biggest friend of USA, every knows.

Dear Swain, even if the Shias do what you say, does it warrant their carnage? If you are a Muslim, you should be ashamed of your statement. You have challenged Allah.

@swain
This is not an appropriate forum for sectarian bashing.

According to Pakistan’s constitution, everyone has a right to practice their religion and belief. This includes Sunnis, Shias, Ahmadis, Christians, Hindus and everyone else.

No person or group must be allowed to use violence to superimpose their religion or belief on other persons or groups.

Sunnis and Shias have so much in common, however, they have also quite a few things different. This is their difference which make them Sunnis and Shias. This difference must be respected, and not used as an excuse for spreading hate and violence.

what shias are doing in Pakistan is not now underground, there is a plenty of books written by shia authors which is full of curses on Sahaba and Muhammad(SAW).
They publicaly show their hate for sahaba, so why not lover of Sahaba and Rasullullah(SAW) show their hate for them (Shia). this is one evidence of their hate for sahaba (RA).

so what they are doing are more likely expected to receive from others. by doing such thing they making Muslims youth more extremist and so in the present worse situation of extremism more than 50% are their contributions. so we should think both side. a large number of our young generation is joining extremest groups when they see the abusive language of shia scholars and their books. which is available in the market and the govt is not taking action against the ppl responsible.
so for harmonizing the society and eliminating prejudice behavior of common peoples govt should banned the books which have any rubbish language against Sahaba, and other beloved people, hang or punish the writers and stop their self created worship ebadat of Muharram procession (Jaluse).
love should be from both sides that all may able to live wd peace in the country.

Well, English media is an official mouthpiece of left wing fanatics so things seem quite balanced. How come shias are being targeted? I see that fanatic Faisal abidi’s sign boards here and there when he turned all Karachi black in Moharram.

یہ کوئی نہیں بات نہیں ہے . اس ملک میں برسوں سے یہ سب چلا آرہا ہے اور نہ جانے کب تک یہ سلسلہ جاری رہے گا . پیدا ہوتے ہی بچوں کے زہنوں میں شیعہ-سُنی تفرقات کا زہرہ گھول دیا جاتا ہے .
