I wasn't finished about the rioting. I just took a break because I did not want the post to go too long but honestly, there is so much to write about what happened.
Some people have the nerve to start the old blame game here. The secularists (our Islamic republic has many categories of people, if someone doesnt know, the most prominent ones being the seculaists and the rightists) are blaming the religous parties for the rioting and the uncontrolled crowds. The religious parties do have a reputation of carrying out unorganised protest demonstrations but this time it wasn't even them. It isn't so simple this time. Afterall just two days later the religiouys parties had a very peaceful demonstration in Karachi. It wasnt about any of this and it is so weird when people dont understand this.
People dont need the religious parties to tell them how offensive the cartoons were. Neither is religious extremism the only social problem that leads young men to burn their own cities. It is so ironic that it is the same secularists who remind the religous right of poverty and deprivation when they are insistent on raising such issues as was that of the marathon or the religion section in the passport. Yet, when these secularists get a chance to malign the religous right, they also fuel the blame game and like others, fail to notice the envious gaze, the vengeful lust, the passion to get back at the "more-equals", the zeal to prove one's mettle and the vented frustration.
