Enough has been said about Sana Yousaf's case, but the more I read, the more I get upset. The incident is very cruel, but the comments are as cruel as the incident. Sana was murdered by one murderer, but we can see many more in the comments. Comments like, acha hai gand saaf huwa, jis ne bhi kya zabardast kaam kya, bure kamo ka bura hi nateeja hota hai, isi tarha 10,12 aur chali jayein to acha hai reveal the mentality of our sick society, reflect our "bemar muashra". It's not a matter of saying no to a guy or honor killing; it's a reflection of a society with many ailments and troubles. Sometimes the sick mentality reflects in religious extremism, political polarization, intolerance to others' viewpoints, etc. Such incidents are and will keep happening in one form or another unless we treat the menaces of society. Unfortunately, the solution to these issues, the treatment for such sickening acts is not very simple. All, including parents at home, teachers at schools, imams at masajid, religious scholars, our justice system, and many others, have to play their roles to rectify it. If we don't pay attention to the root causes, unfortunately, incidents like this will continue to happen in different forms.
