When Winston Churchill in his August 24, 1941 speech described the extermination of the Jews and Jewish Bolshevists by the Nazis in the occupied Soviet territories, his vivid depiction of the "methodical, merciless butchery" was quite accurate. Still, even the eloquent Churchill had no specific term for the atrocities going on and had to conclude, "We are in the presence of a crime without a name." It would be over a year before the Jewish lawyer Professor Raphael Lemkin coined camiseta as mónaco the word genocide for the crimes against humanity that Churchill was alluding to.
The Shias of Pakistan, along with scores of other vulnerable groups, have been under an unrelenting systematic assault since the height of the Pak-Saudi-US jihad against the erstwhile Soviet Union. But over the last several years the methodical, merciless butchery has reached a point that is gruesome even by Pakistani standards of viciousness and yet the slaughter of the Shias in Quetta, Kurram, Gilgit-Baltistan, Karachi and Peshawar has remained a nameless crime. It is a media norm to use euphemisms and sanitised phraseology to describe the mass murder of a beleaguered community.
But not identifying the crime is not the only thing happening. There is a systematic effort by the mainstream media to obfuscate the religious ― and in some cases ethnic ― identity of the victims. In a recent Twitter exchange with a young Hazara boy, a top Pakistani television anchor wrote, "Hazaras should not call them comprar camiseta de futbol Shias; they are Pakistani Muslims and their blood is equal to all the other Pakistanis [sic]." It appears to be a pretty benign comment unless one considers the implications of reporting a nameless crime, now with nameless and faceless victims.
However, before I proceed further, let there be no doubt that those massacred recently in Quetta used to identify themselves as Shia Muslims and belonged to the ethnic Hazara community. Their names are: Ms Bakht Jamal, Zafar, Alam Khan, Ghulam Sakhi, Hafizullah, Nazir Hussain, Mubarak Shah (Spini Road attack March 29, 2012), Ejaz Hussain and Ali Asghar (Kirani Road camiseta aston villa fc attack April 2, 2012), Qurban Ali, Muhammad Zia, Muhammad Hussain, Shabir, Nadir Ali, Saeed Ahmad (Prince Road attack April 9, 2012); Muhammad and Ms. Fatima (Sattar Road and Kasi Road respectively, April 13, 2012), Abdullah, Juma Ali, Muhammad Ali, Syed Asghar Shah, Eid Muhammad (Brewery Road April 14, 2012), and Suleiman Ali (Kawari Road April 16, 2012). This list is neither exhaustive nor includes the injured.
