Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. A kid is raped.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. A woman is raped.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. A journalist is missing.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. A kid is murdered.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Kafir. Kafir.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Hit-and-run killer in an open-and-shut case is acquitted.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Terrorist escapes from prison. Well, not prison.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Another kid is raped.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Another woman is raped.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Another journalist is missing.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Kafir. Kafir.
Hardly A Tick. Hardly a Tock goes by here, without an episode of degradation of humanity. Then we compare numbers and stats with the West. Is there another state as ugly as this? No.
West includes ‘marital rape’ as ‘rape’ in their numbers. Even then, we are the leaders. The East. Mashraqi Muashra. Self-proclaimed champions of haya and pardah, with gems like Ansar Abbasi watching PTV.
Oh! I forgot.
Welcome to the land of pure. Windmill of martyrdom. A martyr here. A martyr there. A kid here. A woman there. Kafirs everywhere.
After the motorway incident we are expecting justice from those who killed a family in front of their kids. In Sahiwal. In broad daylight. Remember that?
And even if the police does its job, judicial ugliness will surface.
Like Majeed Achakzai went free after CCTV footage of hit-and-run murder of a police constable. What do you expect?
People go missing in the Capital and hardly a judge is able to do anything.
But you hate the messenger. Right? Ad Hominem. Don’t waste time vomiting.
Whenever there is a mess, there is a diversion. For our diversion, the state uses religion. Illiterates – who misuse religion in mosques and madrassahs – come out. Create a mess. Burn stuff. Real issues are flushed. Non-issues become grave. Some dead bodies complete the play. Credits: Unknown directors and known producers.
The split between the Ummah is 1400 years old; since the departure of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. There were wars between the great companions. Sahabas were killed. Muslims killed Muslims. There are references on both sides of the argument. Equally strong and equally debatable.
Do you think you can resolve that with your hate or violence?
Or by demolishing a shrine or a mosque?
Or by killing a person or two?
No.
None of you is going to resolve anything. Because there is nothing to resolve.
None of your scholar is going to win. Because there is nothing to win.
Namaz was offered 5 times a day. People saw the Prophet (SAW) offering Namaz 5 times every single day. Yet there are differences in opinion on how He offered Namaz. And here we are resolving things which happened once or twice.
1400 years. This split is going to sustain till the Judgement Day. You need to accept it. Tolerate it. And live with it.
You can debate and persuade. There can be conferences. There can be harmony which can lead to a lot better future for our generations to come.
Or do you want your kids to continue your legacy of “Kafir Kafir” on roads? Please, if you may, use contraceptives.
The circle is shrinking by the way. Coming closer to your demise with every passing day. And you think your licking will serve as a certificate? Maybe yes, for you. Maybe no, for your family or friends. Who knows!
When that state machinery needs blood to run, it will consume you anyway. Be it a patriot or a traitor. Be it a Sunni or a Shia. Be it a Muslim or a non-Muslim.
Anyhow.
If something is not igniting violence, hate and discrimination; let it be. Disagree. Criticize. Argue. But don’t stay numb on their abductions. Don’t be happy on violence against your opponents.
As Voltaire said, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
Like women coming out on marches and chanting things which you never imagined in your wildest dreams. You took marital rape as your legal and religious right. Or convenient denial of its existence. On a bed given to you in a charity. Or dowry. Whatever.
You have to hear the other gender. Even if they are raising debatable slogans. Because this is the first time in the history of mankind that womankind is speaking. Hear them. At least give them space to shout. Let it be.
Again, it’s easier to have an ad-hominem-piss-off after everything. Come and vomit. Give verdicts. And be happy with the state and its writ and its pimping and your licking. Nothing is going to resolve, anyway. Because agriculture has nothing to do with Agriculture Department. Says the Agriculture Department.
Adios.
