RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CAUSES OF SECTARIAN PREJUDICES IN PAKISTAN AND THEIR PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The diversity of human temperament, the narrowness of thought and vision, the ups and downs of reason and understanding, the open disparity in thought and its constant world of perceptions and feelings, these are undeniable facts that can be fully seen in the context of interpretation of religion. The diversity of religious interpretations leads to ideas, and ideas lead to ideas and beliefs. Then these ideologies and beliefs are in search of their like-minded people, as a result of which religion is divided into different sects and gradually there is an atmosphere of prejudice and resentment, and these prejudices, if manifested in that form, take the form of sectarianism and later this sectarianism leads to murder. This is the stage when in the name of religion, every human value, including religion itself, is threatened and humanity becomes thirsty for the blood of humanity in the name of religion. This article will talk about these   sectarian prejudices and their religious and social causes and practical solutions.
