| A culture of violence |

| [GEO.TV] Our society has become more and more ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... . There have been many other cases involving the abduction and in some cases torture of persons accused of marrying of their free will. There is also some body of evidence which suggests our political culture has contributed to these attitudes seeping down into society. The abusive language and misogyny used by our politicians has had an impact on younger people, particularly since the PTI, which is perhaps a party most guilty of the use of abuse, is followed by youngsters to a considerable extent. Other parties too are not completely clean in this regard and have used the most offensive language now and in the past. |

| #1 The writer sounds like a crossing guard at Death Race 2000. He or she seems to be lamenting the loss of the gentility and wholesome norms of Pakistani culture. I have never seen any evidence of that. |
