Secularism

Sir: Religion is something personal and private. When we allow someone to misuse our own religion, it should make us think. Unfortunately, we are turning a blind eye to horrific crimes of violence against religious minorities. We have to follow the example of secular countries if we wish to succeed. Until and unless there is a clear cut separation of religion and state, Pakistan will continue to sink deeper and deeper into corruption and mismanagement instead of progressing forward in any, if not all, fields.
