One day we will build a consensus to stand against militancy and fight the atrocities of Taliban and lascar-e-jhangvi. That will be the day of freedom from terrorist.

Surely, we face a culture that has been manipulated by the mullah to their benefits or otherwise they would be broke and well out of job.

Thanks for coming by and comments.

I hope one day we will build a consensus toward better culture and act upon. It would be like sowing the seeds, the fruits of which will be reaped by our generation to come.

Shehzad .. Thanks for taking it in a positive spirit. But now I feel it was only me who felt this way. As you other readers dont even seem to notice that.

Anyhow… looking forward to read more articles from you.

The author has rightly pointed out that it’s high time to revisit our lost traditions and cultural values, because the intolerance is at an all time high. Perhaps there are multiple reasons behind it, with exploitation of the religion being the top most reason.

You are right, I could have been much clear and precise.

All I am saying is that the latest brutalities are the outcomes of sick culture. Where culture set the standard procedures of analysis, thought and action. It works like second instinct, normally people act as per “cultural dictates” without questioning its sanity.

If culture is healthy, it automatically results into lot of good things unconsciously by the society. And if if it sick then……….

This bring us to cure, revisiting culture and cultural driven courses of actions.

People make the culture. Need of hour is to be united and promote secular and open minded ideas wherever possible so we can get out of this 18th century mindset.

Our culture and the people of Pakistan have become numb to aggression and gradually this increases. It is important that we help each other with tolerance and affection so that the terrorist loose in their goal of making our societies horrific.

Our culture has been hijacked by Mullah’s and religious extremists who wanted us to become mindless zombies. Since we resisted, they have injected elements in us which are trying to destabilize and stop the liberal minds of ours. We must not let them take our right to think away from us.
