#pakistan’s Real War is with the Poisonous Mindset Within by @BushraZulfiqar

In Pakistan, it seems so easy to kill political figures, and by extension anyone else, for their beliefs.

The ugliness of fundamentalist thought has become so bloody stark that it seems to have completely overtaken simple human decency and civilised actions.

Unless there is recognition and realisation about the extremist mindset that has embedded itself here, nothing is going to bring peace to this extraordinarily damaged and fractured country.

It is exactly this mindset (the lack of tolerance and acceptance) that is the real enemy Pakistan should be fighting every single day.

The extent to which Pakistan has been radicalised is even more obvious when examining the media. Many in the media have handled this tragic incident by either sitting on the fence and not openly condemning this horrific criminal act, or by giving a powerful pulpit to the voices of hate.

Justice needs to be done for all the people who have been killed by this destructive dinosaur.
