An incident that depicts how the Taliban have nothing to do with Islam or human rights or plain decency! The killing of Dr Sarfaraz Naeemi in Friday's suicide blast has saddened all of Pakistan, even people who have never been to a Madrassah in their life. He is a true martyr, a man who lined on a Government scholarship of just 6000 Rs per month, a man who ran the most modern madrassah in Pakistan imparting modern as well as religious education, a man who was a true religious scholar, who gave a compelling edict against suicide bombings, declaring them to be completely forbidden in Islam, a man who openly said that Taliban were a stigma to Islam. Pakistan has lost a true patriot. But the martyrdom of Dr Naeemi has not fractured the nation. Instead, this incident has united Pakistanis to take revenge from the Taliban.
We clearly see now the real Islam as followed by Dr Naeemi, a live and let live based humanistic religion. And the false so-called Islam of the Taliban. Even a lay man knows now the reality of the Taliban.
These are sad times for Pakistan but also a time of great oppurtunity. We can either fall apart or glue together to make a strong nation. I hope that the sacrifices of countless people like Dr Naeemi do not go into vain. I believe they will not go into vain and we will rise to be a stronger country
