Child Abuse: See it, Hear it, Report it!

Most of us started noticing the pages and links on our sponsored Facebook timeline sharing the stories of child molesting (mostly girls). I am well aware that this issue is like a tumor in our society and must be talked. There must be awareness programs regarding child molesting from ground level (mainly primary schools, meetings with parents and group discussion) to national campaign. These sponsored links are not spreading the alertness of the issue instead promoting the vulgarity, sex stories and endorsing the intimacy. There is never ever a strong message concerning stopping and fighting spirit by the victim. They are telling every single minor detail of the incident (or say they creating up the stories) and script the juicy lines so they could upsurge their page ratings or endorse the ads. I strongly condemned these pages and actions must be taken to stop and ban the pages and links. Questions will be raised what should be done instead.
There are NGOs and social awareness groups who are encouraging the clear messages and instructions for ending the child abuse. Sex Education must be compulsory in the secondary school, Parents Teacher meeting must be held in primary school educating to look over their children, analyzing their behavior, their sleep routine, their interest on television & teaching them that no one is allowed to touch their body and private parts without their permission and when anybody do so is a offender and they must tell their parents no matter what the other person say or threatened to. Their parents will be their ultimate shield. The problem in our culture and religious structure in Pakistan is such that this issue is still considered as taboo and people avoid discussing. This cultural and religious restriction has sparked the evil side in people of this region. There are several issues to be addressed like delaying marriage of adults just parent's don’t think he/she isn’t financially steady. The intimacies among our youth are high, and its fact that you just couldn't stop it by banning porn websites.  The Prophet once said to us, 'O young people (يا معشر الشباب)! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power. 


Beside these duties of parents and adults, the government should act upon on this matter. We appreciate the stand that government took against terrorist after the Peshawar Army School incident, same kind of response must be taken against these psychopathic criminals who are involved in child molesting and there are numerous stories regarding child molesting and rape print in our newspapers. The crime and punishment committed should not be hidden but presented as the symbol to fight against the child molesting and eradicate this tumor in our societies. We have seen headlines that people arrested for raping four year old child but never heard what punishment was given to him.

Rainbow Flag for Pakistan?




No other news has drastic impact to countries miles away from each other than the news of American Courts to legalize the same gender marriage. It was the historic moment for United States of America but on other hand it’s complete opposite to nature law. As a Muslim and part of an Islamic state it will be always difficult to accept the law but it's not our right to object the law of the other state and a civilization who rules aren't subjected to religious certainties. May be for atheists it's very easy to accept to change of nature law.  Being a liberal, I would have accepted this but even liberalism has its limit and that's when religion comes in. To me, religion isn't just about prayers and hoping to get place in heaven after life. It's about restrictive the human beings from becoming evil spirit and oppose the nature. Nature always takes its revenge in form of climactic change, natural disasters or any form. Nature is supreme authority, legalizing gay marriages will definitely affect the human race medically, mentally and governance wise and time will tell its effect on American Evolution in future. Yet being right or wrong about the issue, I couldn't deny the struggle for this movement. They have achieved something of phenomenon in present society. Keeping aside their natural desires, it's a movement showed to the world that humans are so influential beyond government restrictions, law and enforcement that if there is true wish to accomplish something they will acquire it. If marginally few numbers of people could achieve this accomplishment that are neglected by society and seen differently then why there is no rise and protest in Pakistan for numerous reasons from load shedding to terrorism, Minority genocide to sectarianism genocide (Shia & Ahmadis), Woman Rights to child labor, educational issue to health issues, and many more. If LGBT movement can raise rainbow flag in America then there should be a distinct flag in each and every street of Pakistan to stand against the discrimination of human rights from day Pakistan came into existence.
