It is pointless. The shennanigans, the talks, the protests, the strikes, the reactions, they all amount to nothing in the end. The maddening lawlessness prevails, this is a country without a writ, without a rule, without sanctity of life and liberty. I can go ad infinitum, kick the stones and punch the walls, I can scream and shout myself hoarse and yet it would amount to not much. These times will also pass, what's horrific today will become history tommorrow and, life, as they say, will go on.
Are we witnessing the beginnings of 'ethnic cleansing'? is it the same treatment being meted out to the hazari shias as the serbian musilms in the early 90's? or the jews in 1940's? What is the explanation of man's inhumanity to man? How can a person kill another unknown person without any reason apart from his belonging to a sect or a group which he dislikes and abhors. What sort of animosity and hatred is this?
Not that this is the first time a community is being singled out thus, no, man has been and is capable of such atrocious acts against his fellow beings which are not to be found in any other species in the animal world. We plan and connive and contrive to murder, hinder, maim, abuse and malign those whom we choose to destroy. And, for some such destruction brings certain sadistic pleasure. It is said that anti-semitism is the 'snobbery of the poor' it is one way for the herd to feel above someone else and thus feel priviliged and aristrocratic in some twisted way.
Is shia hatred the same kind of snobbery of people who are so down and out they have practically nothing to be snobbish about? Is hating the shia a tacit way of feeling comfortable and safe in one's own little 'holy of holies' faith and beliefs? Does pitching oneself against another, a shia, I think myself more pious and deserving of heaven and its ancillary rewards? and does this warped thought mars and moulds my thinking so I am unable to focus on my own murderous actions?
