Escaping death in the Land of the Pure (VI)

Letter March 31, 2014
There is no end in sight to the darkness that has descended on our country. No one seems to be safe.

LAHORE: The dangers in speaking out in the current bigoted state of Pakistani society today have become all too real. What was once a truly minority view has been replaced by violent , irrational, extremist action that is holding the entire country hostage. There is no end in sight to the darkness that has descended on our country. No one seems to be safe.
