The Abbaseya Violence And The Revolutionary Impasse In Egypt…

However, this minority has a problem: if anecdotes and impressions from the street are to be believed, they find themselves increasingly alienated from popular opinion. This was reflected in the very real possibility that Omar Suleiman ? , Mubarak's former mukhabarat chief, was a serious contender for the presidency, until he was disqualified. (Poor planning by his supporters led to an attempt to collect 30,000 endorsements from 15 governorates in less than two days. They missed a few dozen from one governorate.) It is also reflected in the fact that, as Egyptian journalist Sarah Carr ? reported, when the curfew following yesterday's street clashes was announced, Egyptians in one cafe erupted in spontaneous applause.

Pakistan's Urdu media and the bigotry and fanaticism in the society

Who is responsible for the bias and narrow-mindedness in the society? If they talk of beheading their opponents on petty issues, who has given them the training? The limitation of the media that they can raise only a few issues can be understood but at least they can refrain from making provocative statements for cheap popularity and adopt a soft stand. They should set a standard of their newspapers that instead of provoking the sentiments of anger and grief, they express their opinions with seriousness.
