Religious tension in Pakistan as Muslims dig up Hindu grave

ISLAMABAD: A crowd of Islamic fundamentalists dug up the grave of a Hindu man in Pakistan, police said on Tuesday, in the latest sign of growing religious tension in the increasingly unstable province of Sindh.

Shouting "Allahu Akbar", or "God is greatest", the crowd dug out the body and dragged it through the streets of the southern town of Pangrio in a dispute over the location of the grave.

...

"The incident was caused by some clerics of the extremist outfit of Ahle Sunaat Wal Jamaat, but later other Muslims joined in and dug up the body and threw it away."

Hindus and Muslims have lived side by side and shared graveyards in Sindh for centuries, but tension has been on the rise recently as extremists make increasingly aggressive inroads into the rural parts of the province.

Sindh is home to most of Pakistan's small Hindu community, which numbers about 2 million among a population of roughly 180 million.

Perhaps if the brightest people from their country who tend to come to the U.S. or go abroad to another country and earn advanced degrees actually returned to their country to try to make it a better place, we wouldn't see such stupidity.

What would they do there? At the individual level, not unlike us, their primary loyalties lie with their families. Would you move back to a country where your children would not be better off?

I would, once my children were grown up.
