The shrine, he said, "is not just another crowded place - it
represents a millennia of tolerant Sufi Islam which is directly
under attack by the puritans."
"Puritan"--This is the PC term in Pakistani media for the outfits
who are attacking Sufi shrines and Shia mosques. If they were
truly identified, it would be Wahhabi/Salafi Sunnis of various
stripes (including the Taliban), supported by various Saudi
organisations and individuals, who continue to murder their
fellow Muslims. Pakistan doesn't want publicly to admit it
because they get a lot of $$$$$$$ from Saudi Arabia.
