A few people sitting on the road under the tent can ensure that markets remain deserted, students remain indoors in their homes, economy is at standstill. All this fuss is over an issue which has not be factually proven, rather it is based on the wishful thinking of a bunch of people who on the basis of their street power are hell bent to enforce their worldview on the unconcerned public at large and bring the country to standstill.
On the face of it, it creates a bad name for a country like Pakistan whose economy had braved years of recession, polity matured through completed tenures and whose military is battle hardened in the art of an unusual war, the war against extremism. However, a bunch of illiterates have created a bad press for Pakistan.
A closer look reveals that the issue which was blown out of proportion has no inkling of divinity or even any threat to the religion. All Muslims know that the last message from the Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was not spread on the basis of strife or bloodshed; or putting people to sword. Our great Prophet transformed the people of Arabian Peninsula known for their rudeness and harsh behavior, making them an asset for the human civilization. It was not his divine mandate to terrorize people towards subjugation. Rather it was the power of human perfection which opened the hearts to accept the message of Islam.

A closer look at the worldview of the rabble rousers led by Mr. Rizvi reveals that they are nothing but a bunch of opportunists who are trying to hide their ugly faces under the banner of Islam.
Needless to say, any heart not tuned towards Islam, inclusive of the heart of Aasia, is a challenge for the Muslims to win over; not to be alienated. If one heart is won over, it opens the way for many hearts to be converted to the message of divine religion. What the whole episode of killing of Salman Taseer to Qadri hanging to Aasia acquittal demonstrates a sorry face of Islam which has simply no relation to the message of Revelation وحی
He all know from many traditions quoted about the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that we conquered hearts not the territories. He transformed people towards the message of Holy Quran.
Those who are today hell bent to enforcing their will on the people have no spiritual link with that of the divine revelation. It is pure opportunism which is being reenacted on the streets of Pakistan.
Here it would not be out of context to say that the learned Ulema need to come out in open and courageously to challenge these batons yielding fake men of religion who are creating a bad name for the pure message of Prophet Muhammad.
As things stand, it is an equal responsibility of the Ulema and the intellectuals to put up a brave face to challenge these semi-literate mullahs so that the great message of revelation is not lost in the eyes of people at large.
