Pakistan being the favorable place of potential terror initiates got apparent with new fights against the re-printing of the sketch of Prophet Muhammad by Charlie Hebdo magazine.
Charlie Hebdo magazine had re-distributed the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad on September 2, which was the preliminary date of the January 2015 terror attack at the Charlie Hebdo office and the Hyper Cacher of Porte de Bagnolet in Paris.
Upon the re-printing of Prophet Muhammad’s cartoon by Charlie Hebdo magazine on September 2, Iran and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation gave solid articulations censuring the move. Indeed, even Al Qaeda had given a subtle provocation to the magazine, notice the 2015 assault was not a “one-off”. Notwithstanding, most of the fights were found in Pakistan.
Jacquard said that the most grounded and most harmful reaction against France was seen in Pakistan, where revolutionary Islamist bunches rioted to dissent, requiring the removal of the French Ambassador Marc Barety and suspension of diplomatic ties with France.
This comes after a recent rally in Karachi wherein thousands of people participated in a massive anti-Shia demonstration, sparking fears that it could lead to a fresh round of sectarian violence in Pakistan.
Social media in the country was filled with posts, stunning photographs, and videos of the protest, in which a sea of protestors was seen chanting “Shias are Kaffir” (disbelievers) and holding banners of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, a terrorist organisation, linked to the killing of Shias over the years. The hashtag #ShiaGenocide soon began trending on Pakistani social media.
