SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Where the South Asia is on top in arms race and quest to achieve nuclear technology, there the entire region is highly religionized and have attributes of extremism. This entire region is suffering from an affliction. Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are spewing vitriol in the name of religion, exhibiting never-seen-before barbarity in the name of ‘protecting’ religion. We have seen a woman lynched in Kabul for daring to defy a mullah at a shrine, we have seen many hauled up for blasphemy, especially the minorities, and now in Bangladesh we see this savage display of religious ‘devotion’. What is this region coming to? What kind of Islam is this where differing views, instead of being accepted and open to discussion, are hacked down like their expressers? The killing of bloggers in Bangladesh also shows the dangerous trend expanding in the region. India is of no exception, the forceful conversions and lynching of a rapist show that this region is not only racing towards a nuclear war but also towards a religious and ideological extremism.
