  • Pakistan: Religious Bias Okayed

    20 September, by siawi3

    No country is free of prejudices; certain groups of its own citizens are discriminated against. Still, at the very least this is normally deprecated officially and, as in some countries, one sees genuine attempts to create an equalitarian society. Pakistanis in Europe and North America take their freedoms for granted in spite of overtly projecting their identity. Still, they expect respect and mostly receive it. But in today’s Pakistan those with religious beliefs different from that of the majority’s stand little or no chance. To wilfully use religious sentiment for worldly gain is now firmly part of Pakistan’s political culture.

C’est ce qu’il a de positif : le droit des gens, l’émancipation individuelle, l’affranchissement de la religion comme principe organisateur de la société. En l’oubliant, en le négligeant, on commet des erreurs tragiques. On explique que si Charlie a été attaqué, c’est aussi de sa faute, pour avoir moqué la religion, seulement conçue comme l’expression des opprimés.
