New Benefit From Quds Day In Pakistan?

As we pass the middle mark of 2013 the death toll for Pakistani Shias number in the hundreds. But this account keeping erodes as it becomes clear that neither the military nor political parties are willing to take action to stop these crimes. The naive idea that courts  see the dead as anything other than numerical figures is being abandoned.

 

Granted that security has been increased in certain areas and people increasingly sympathize with victims. The overall sense of alienation is still present as suicide bombers and target killers are still lined up to kill the innocent.

 

Although personally uninterested in the Quds rallies in Pakistan, I have recently succumbed to the idea of attending. However my reasoning has more to do with Pakistan than the Palestinian issue.

 

Pictures of children marching with replica guns incite a fervid desire to participate in these rallies. The animosity shown towards the distant Israelis and Americans is becoming analogous to a third unmentioned entity. The Pakistani government, ISI and courts. Perhaps that was initially the point. Maybe these rallies should become fronts to show the intense anger and willingness of the Pakistani Shias.

 

The fact that this passion can easily be shifted from the distant foreign Israelis to local government within a second should be alarming. And this alarm may lead to action by the government. I don’t remember the last time the Taliban marched with their kids with guns in their hands.

 

The Shias should be considered a greater threat to the saftey of Pakistan, our condition will not improve until we are.

Kids have been carrying toy guns in Quds rallies since years but it did not transform into anything local nor will it ever, and its reason cold be the upbringing and environment. People belonging to Sipah-e-Sahaba etc hear Takfiri lectures all the time so they do not need any transformation stage they just go and do the killing. The point I have observed this year was, that a lot of people were questioning about participating or even observing this day on the ground of whats going on with Shias in Pakistan and the clergy is silent yet managing such huge rallies for those who were trained in the past by Shias but now they are siding with the rebels in Shaam. This theory had begun last year but this year it has achieved advance stage letsee what happens next year but since this logic is appealing to the local Shias, I can see its impact in the years to come.

Yes i observed the same trend in the pics and videos this year. The numbers were low. It is better for the Pakistanis to decide their own stance and not be political tolls for the IRI.

 

And I hope more people are coming to that realization.
