FOR many like me things are the same this Ramazan also. Same rituals, same sights. Increased traffic jams, jobs, school, work etc.. Lethargy all around. Nobody really care for anybody else and only watching out for themselves.
But then my thoughts keep going back to those wicked people who burnt Christian women and children alive in Gojra and will be fasting and praying now. For what? A place for themselves in heaven?
Will it be wrong for me to pray to God to be kind to those non-Muslims who died in that massacre? I may not share their beliefs, but I will defend their right to hold those beliefs and to practise them so long as they do not interfere with the rights of others.
The Taliban will also be fasting, along with sugar hoarders and other rogues, scoundrels, liars and hypocrites we come across every day. I'm looking for someone who actually lives our faith. Is there such a person?
