In 2017 nothing gonna change in Pakistan but it will bring a huge wave of extremism & sectarianism. Last ten days of December has very much made this clear. State has not implemented the National action plan which was introduced to eliminate the violence , hate speech & terrorism.



‏Sunni clerics are openly accusing people for blasphemy & they are crossing the Mount Everest of ignorance but the state is helpless.

The story behind the constellations of Perseus and those of his group is an ancient tale that is usually told from the perspective of the hero himself. It's his patriarchal privilege. There were two brothers, Acrisius and Proetus, who always…

In the West people are told that Sufis are very peaceful people in Pakistan. Every 2nd day these Sufis come on roads & demand death plenty for Asia Bibi.

Before I get to the questions I would like to suggest that one of the biggest predictors of a person’s religion is geography.

Few days ago there was a by-election in Jhang Pakistan. A banned terrorist organisation openly campaigned & won.





These terrorist organisation are having a hand of establishment on their back thats why they are openly allowed to run their campaign. Followers of such organisations openly campaign on social media for promoting their extremism. Cyber crime bill has been passed but nobody takes any action against them.



From my knowledge most of the religious countries… Continue
