"For some time you will have observed that in religious newspapers and magazines in Pakistan a recognition has been growing that a great mischief is arising which must be crushed." This quotation is taken from the journal published by the supporters of Parwêz, but it is a reference to the point of view of his opponents. The statement represents an attitude that is meaningful both to the supporters, and to the opponents of Parwêz. The term I have translated as 'mischief', fitnah, has connotations of fatal attractiveness, of seduction, and of sedition.
