In an op-ed article to this Sunday's New York Times (1/9/11), Shehrbano Tasser, the son of assassinated Pakistani Governor, Salmann Taseer had this to say:
"There are those who say my father's death was the final nail in the coffin for a tolerant Pakistan. That Pakistan's liberal voices will now be silenced. But we buried a heroic man, not the courage he inspired in others . . .
My father believed in our country's potential. He lived and died for Pakistan. To honor his memory, those who share that belief in Pakistan's future must not stay silent about injustice. We must never be afraid of our enemies. We must never let them win."
Beautiful, beautiful. Perhaps, there is hope.
