The Revival of Sikh Fundamentalism
"Given the religious and political climate throughout the colorful history of India, Sikhism never appeared to pose a persistent threat to the politics of India. After the partition of India into Pakistan and India in 1947, the Sikhs were still left without a means of political participation to voice their civic grievances."

SYSTEMATIC KILLINGS I:
"Gunmen shot dead two Shiite Muslims in an early-morning attack raising the death toll in a two-day wave of sectarian violence to 20"

MOMINPURA MASSACRE
"Turning Pakistan into a sectarian battleground: The Mominpura Cemetery massacre of 25 Shi'i Muslims in Lahore on January 11 (1998) reflects the impunity with which sectarian terrorists operate in Pakistan while the law enforcement agencies remain impotent. The attack occurred amid claims by the Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif that the tide of sectarianism had been turned with the passage of the Anti-Terrorism Act, adopted by the government of prime minister Nawaz Sharif last year."


CRY OF AN AFGHAN WOMAN:

Hundreds of thousands of people will die."

"Afghanistan remains the breeding ground for oppression and senseless aggression."
