Live and let Live – Just as long as you can mock the powerless and suck up to Genocidal Monsters

I fully support the right of people to be insensitive jerks and wish “Happy New Year” to mourners during Muharram. I support the rights of those who want to commemorate Muharram with solemn elegies, distributing tasty free food and self flagellation. Moreover, I support the rights of those who want to call out intellectual dishonesty.

An example of this intellectual dishonesty and fraud are Pakistan’s commercial liberals who blame the victims of terrorism for creating a security situation and the resulting log jam during annual holidays. These commercial liberals have never called out Sipah Sahaba, Al Qaeda and the Taliban for creating a global security log jam.

It is that time of year again. When many Pakistanis, Sunnis and Shias, Muslims and Hindus immerse themselves in the remembrance of Imam Hussain. It is also that time of the year when some upper-middle class urban elites and Sipah Sahaba maliciously send out Happy New Year greetings. With Sipah Sahaba, there are no surprises. After all, this is the same group that incites and celebrates the murder of Shia Doctors and scientists and poets.

But what about a section of Pakistan’s commercial liberals and corporate Marxists who also engage in this malicious act?

Is it not ironic that the only DIVERSITY that these Sufyani liberals don’t support is Muharram. They do provide token support to other faith traditions that are now unfortunately relegated to the fringes of the mainstream. For these liberals, any belief or act that is intolerable to their thinly disguised sectarian bigotry has to be banished from the mainstream.

And that is why it is clear that Pakistan’s commercial liberals are the mirror image of Sipah Sahaba. Quite literally when one sees that these liberals are in the same company of Sipah Sahaba on the Happy New Year greeting during Muhurram.
