In fairness, this extreme form of Islam is just that - extreme, and doesn't represent Islam in Pakistan. The
Pakistani Supreme court is forming a Bench to investigate it, and the majority of Pakistanis are in uproar about it.
So, to a certain extent, I suppose I am parroting the Myrrh "boilerplate response" provided by Dubman, in that it is easy to take these incidents as representative of all Islam. That would be a little like taking the
persecution of "witches" in Kenya as representative of all of Christianity, which it clearly isn't.
