“Schools in Swat closed in protest against the killing. Some 200 people from Pakistan’s civil society showed up at a vigil in front of Lahore Press Club in Pakistan’s cultural capital. Hundreds also gathered for protests across the country”
[quote=SD Realtor]Let’s see… there is this group of thugs that kills people who disagree with them….
Someone protested publicly against them, a 14 year old girl… and she was shot.
Now people who don’t show up are getting called stupid.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe they did not show up because they didn’t want to get identified?
It is easy for people who live in a civil society to not have a clue what it is like to live in a much more lawless area.
Maybe those who didn’t show up are smart, not stupid.[/quote]
the Taliban is able to exist there because a large portion of the population allow it to exist.
you talk about fear driving a lot of people, that’s because there’s so many Taliban sympathizers within the population that if you go to the protest, you can be fingered and targeted by neighbors.
Yes there are alot of sympathizers… it is pretty sad…whether many of the folks are willfully sympathetic or or sympathetic out of fear I guess does not matter. Seems like a lost cause in my book.
trying to kill an innocent girl. 200 people.
if you show a poorly made film. Tens of thousands show up and go on murderous rampage.
hmmm… what’s important?
