		<description>What is the crime of ordinary citizens of Pakistan?

Our crime is that we never questioned the preaching of ignorant mullah. In my entire life I have never ever witnessed in any large or small religious gatherings anyone 'ordinary' muslim standing up and asking for clarification of any sermons delivered by the maulvi sahaaaaaaaaaaab! We have never learnt to question? We as believers have been raised on dogmas not pragmatic teachings of our religion. Even today when the proverbial 'chicken are coming home to roost' we are pointing our fingers at others. This xynophobia is so deeply engraved on our collective psych that we are just no more able to do a serious introspection. Why this killing and mayhem at randem? To create more fear. Fear takes away the ability of rational thinking and rational thinking starts from finding and accepting our own defects. Unless you find your own defect, there is no way you are going to correct anything.</description>
