Education is meaningless if it does not lead to the acceptance of plurality.
Following the murder of school principal Hafiz Sareer, his murderer Fahim Shah stated in his confessional statement that he had been taught to kill blasphemers without feeling any remorse. Shah was one of the students at Hafiz Sareer’s school as well as a Hafiz-e-Quran.
Is this carnage a result of the intolerance that has permeated our society? If a Hafiz believes that it is justifiable to murder someone on the suspicion of blasphemy, then is a Hafiz worthy of the respect given to him or her by Pakistani society at large? Can the kinds Hafiz produced in our Madaris be said to have any understanding on religion at all?
