The death of innocent people particularly children should shake us up. Our inner self should cry with pain for any death in the hands of extremists of any variety. The religion of the victims should never come to our mind.
Our Western neighbour is different. If so called non Muslims get killed by extremists any where in that country or outside by terrorists exported by that country, it is OK for them. It is very easy in that country to murder people on mere suspection of that person or persons having insulted the prophet, no appeal no trial. Even under constitutional provisions there, when there is appeal or trial, in any case, penalty laid down is also death. No one seems to be moved by all such incidences that happen there or in neighbouring countries.
When on the name of Jihad the terrorists explode bombs in India or do 26/11 they are hailed as heroes simply because those who died did not belong to the narrow definition of 'Muslim' as per that country.
For them all this happening to others is OK and the good terrorists need to be fated and protected. They will have all the comforts in jail and can even father a child while in jail. That nation, in its quest for purity (pun intended) finds nothing unusual in all those being killed in such incidences as they weren't Muslims as per the narrow definition conveniently coined in that country.
When others get killed, including their own citizens, adults and children alike, Hazaras, Ahmadias, Shias, Christian and Hindus, there is no worthwhile reaction. At the best some meek noise condemning the incidence. That is the White end of the spectrum.
On the Black end, when their own snakes created and nurtured in their own backyard to bite others (borrowed from Hillary Clinton) turn around and bite the creator, all the hell breaks loose. It is only when these homegrown terrorists kill children, about 141, few days ago at Peshawar, that the black end of the spectrum comes into play. The Army action intensifies. Some militants are hanged and many more are to be hanged.
Does that nation has any shades of Grey like calibrated response, systemic correction in criminal justice system, detoxifying the text books to remove all the venom, etc? The tragic death of children is most condemnable but if there were shades of gray in that nation's behaviour, things would not have reached this level.
Even if they had any intermediate response and could gather some sanity, the time has proved that they will get back to their demonstrated obnoxious behaviour sooner than later..They will not change.
The signs are already there to see. Despite such a massive tragedy hitting that nation from which they should have learnt proper lessons, the typical Pak style statements of India being behind the attack ,that they must continue to recognize good and bad Taliban and support good terrorists (how and when a terrorist qualifies to be good terrorist?), etc have already started emanating.
Anyone dying in the hands of terrorists is unfortunate, children dying, even worst but our Western neighbour have not drawn any lessons from this tragic incidence. Their responses are as sick as they have been. We can only wish them luck and pray that good sense returns to them.
