LAHORE – The growing global tide of Islamophobia continues to rear its bigoted head, with anti-Muslim posters now surfacing in the citadel, the laboratory, of Islam that is Pakistan. The posters, clearly targeting the Muslim community, showed them in a negative light, stereotyping them as people that are anti-Hindu. “Either the conspirators are the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) or they belong to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which of course means one and the same thing,” Mazari added. The Punjab government has also vowed to react strongly to the Islamophobic hate speech in the provincial capital. “Oh you Hindus who put up this anti-Hindu poster to defame Muslims, let this be a warning from a proud Muslim!” said Punjab government spokesperson Fayyaz Ul Hassan Chohan.
