Another perspective Before rescinding the moratorium, did our government and military ponder a few questions? Have we pondered the troubling questions? How many terrorists does our system catch, prosecute and convict? How many Taliban apologists, aiders and abettors does our society ostracise? How many Madrassas has the state shut down or nationalized? How many hate preaching mosques have been shut down? How many poison spewing clerics banned? Who has the state prosecuted for inciting violence? When did the state give up the Quetta Shura to the Afghan government? When were the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba terrorists prosecuted? How many television channels have ceased to give space, legitimacy and glorification to death peddlers like ‘Maulana’ Abdul Aziz of the Lal Masjid? The government pays the man a monthly stipend for preaching, supporting and enabling hate and violence. Who are we kidding with this lifting of the death penalty moratorium? No one but ourselves.
