Muslim protests

Published January 29, 2015

WHY does the West remain undisturbed by protests by Muslims? Three religious parties held demonstrations at various places of Karachi last Sunday to protest against Western governments.

That was a very nice step, but what hurt me was the way of protest.

Couldn’t they unite on this occasion, forgetting their differences, which would have sent a strong message to the West?

Western governments are undisturbed by the protests held by Muslims in various parts of the world because they know for sure that internal differences among Muslims are signs of their weakness.
