The vicious circle of hatred…

All our actions, oozing hatred, generate more resonant ripples than we think. Jyllands Posten ,Denmark’s biggest newspaper and the political affiliate of country’s current government, published twelve cartoons depicting Hazrat Muhammad(SAW) in bad light. Later other European newspapers joined it. This offended Muslims all over the world and they started protesting against Denmark in particular and Europe in general .The hate generated by these protests in deepening the cultural divide between these two civilizations .On Tuesday, protests turned violent in Lahore and protesters torched private property generating further hatred against themselves .in the wake of this violence the hatred against religious parties is also growing. But in a parallel development , hatred against government is also growing .In a country which is already witnessing the spate of terrorizing activities by Baloach separatists and the enormous controversy of kalabagh dam ,people are discovering new reasons to hate each other.
On Tuesday the protesters most of whom are a regular sighting in the protests and various functions organized by religious parties set on fire a travel agency at Davis Road, where more than three hundred copies of Holy Quran were kept. Now who did more damage to the cause of Islam, Jyllands Posten and other European news papers or the violent protesters ?

Alos read my post on Lahore Metblogs about it. In the post i talk about one reason the protesters so indifferently reduced the hard earned private property worth millions to ashes.
