The Pakistani nation is divided into many lines. Partisan lines by our political affiliations. The sheer dividing line of economic classes on wealth. The line of education, private, public, madrasahs, cadet schools, special schools and the elite schools. Divided by race sometimes. Divided by lines on a map. And “The Danger Line”, divided on the front of religious or sectarian faiths.
To summarize, we are divided horizontally, vertically, diagonally and zig-zag. The best reflection of these lines is on social media. I totally agree for “freedom of speech” as a right of every human. But you do have to realize that HATE SPEECH is not freedom of speech. PERIOD.
And after hate speech comes the mob violence or lynching at worse. After mob violence comes the silence of the law enforcement on these behaviors and these elements. Now to check how radical you or any person is trying this ‘prompt quiz’ in conversation or in your own mind. You will wonder to see the results after their responses.
So, without any further ado. Let me ask you three prompts. In response, you have to answer in Good or Bad? With complete honesty. The answer key is at the end of this quiz. It will ONLY take your one minute of your life and food for thought of lifetime.
Questions:
1. If an American racist says that Confederacy is alright. That they have the right to keep black people as their slaves. They can even kill anyone who disagrees with them. Is it Good or Bad?
2. If an activist of Hindutva states that they can kill anyone who disrespects cows, who they deem as their mother goddess. Is it Good or Bad?
3. Now, if a sensible Muslim Pakistani believes they have every right to kill anyone whom they believe has committed blasphemy. Or against their set of beliefs. Is it Good or Bad?
Answer KEY:
If selected Good to all. Either you are the biggest ignorant or never spew social media opinions.
If selected Bad to first two choices and Good to last one. You or They are FANATICS and hypocrites.
If selected Bad on all the choices. Fella, you are a gem of a person.
Keep checking yourself.
