We have got to stop being so hateful and intolerant of those different from us.
KARACHI: Sadly, our society has progressed towards increasing bigotry and intolerance. Those who don’t fit an extremely narrow definition of what it is to be a good person are relentlessly and violently persecuted. Gays, Ahmadis, Hindus, Christians and atheists; all face horrific discrimination and intimidation in our society. Forget the mullahs; the average person is so pro-violence that such instances are no longer a surprise.
We have got to stop being so hateful and intolerant of those different from us.
