Negative Effects Of Youm-e-Ishq-e-Rasool In Pakistan

INFLUENCE ON PAKISTANI SOCIETY:

After all this mess and all the damage done to the country it clearly shows that the protest was nothing but a failure. The only affect it had was that of a weak and divided nation. It wasn't a protest but just another loophole for those who meant to harm the society. People took advantage of the situation and instead of finding a solution to the problem and spreading the message of peace they turned violent and turned against their own religion. This gave a very negative and bad image of Muslims among the world. They disrespected the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and brought no good to the protest.

Media played a very important but also a very negative role regarding the protest. Instead of cutting down the footage and not showing much on the television they covered each and every negative aspect just for the sake of TRPs. Media did not cover most of the peaceful protests and the ones that were actually spreading the message peacefully. Every journalist covered the violent part of the protest and every channel discussed the negative effects.

The power was in the hands of the media, if they wished they could've calmed the situation down by not showing and covering the violence instead showing the peaceful protests which would've helped a lot and this would've given out a peaceful message to the world just like the Muslims of America prayed peacefully. Apart from this the violence scared the Muslims sitting at home and they were at alert as the 'violent ones' approached the city. Damaging our very own property which included cars, cinemas, banks etc. for their own use and just for the sake of fun for some. Even our poor police force couldn't handle them instead the protestors turned against them as if they were not Muslims and had a different religion. The Police was just trying to protect the country and the citizens.

In the end all of it could've been very productive if only our media played a positive role because at the end of the day all the power lies in the hands of the media though our unity and the love for our Prophet (PBUH) died that day which is very shameful for all Muslims.
