A dangerous mindset

The Bahawalpur incident where an English professor was killed highlights the fact that living in Pakistan is an everyday struggle for those who want to engage the youth in extracurricular activities. The professor was stabbed to death by his student for organising a welcome party in the college.Saner voices in Pakistan have expressed anger over the incident, but it seems that some people have dumped down all the rational critique and are turning the clock back to the Stone Age.Islam says that killing a human in Islam is the death of the entire humanity. How can a murder not be un-Islamic – the very reason for which the professor was killed? Those teachings of Islam which condemns violence are not taught to people who end up following in the footsteps of the likes of the student of the deceased professor.Nasir SoomroKarachi
