A confused society

Letter January 07, 2011
I would say that the cause of this confusion is the distortion of Islam’s teachings by our mullahs.

ISLAMABAD: The Punjab governor’s murder presents a confused situation and a confused society. The opinion among the general public is sharply divided — some are praising the killers while others, and rightly so, are condemning his action.

I would say that the cause of this confusion is the distortion of Islam’s teachings by our mullahs. People are regarding the killer as some kind of hero . The fact that not a single religious leader has condemned Mumtaz Qadri makes the situation much worse.
