Yesterday, the two blasts in the university, situated in the state capital killed two students. This is where we stand. The thirst for knowledge and the dream of having a decent career can result in your own life being snatched away from you, making you a part of this bloody endless race in which nobody wins. Today the people of this nation are under such trepidation, that they have to think a million times before heading towards a school. They have to consider it over and over if they should move out of their houses to earn a living. This state of uncertainty and fear is where every Pakistani citizen dwells these days and there is no way out!
In the past three years we have lost count of the number of people who became the victims of these terrorist attacks, we have lost count of the children who were orphaned, of the women who were widowed, of the mothers who lost their flowers, of the families who lost their only source of earning. We have lost count of the tears that have stained innocent faces, the blood that was shed and the hearts that were broken. Over the time of these past three years, we have lost count of how much every Pakistani has suffered!
But today when we go anywhere outside Pakistan, people call us Terrorists! They call us extremists, they think we are killers, they say Pakistan is dangerous! Maybe I couldn't disagree with that, 'cos Pakistan is dangerous, but we are not killers. And those who are, they are not Pakistanis and neither are they Muslims. Muslims don't kill innocent people, they don't celebrate when innocent blood is shed. In fact they aren't human beings, they are animals; who just care about satisfying their hunger and nothing else.
So if you are one of those who call us terrorists, please think again! 'Cos in this endless reign of terrorism, no state has suffered as much as Pakistan has. I pray to God that He will protect us from those whose hunger for blood will never end. Amen.
