The British newspaperThe Guardian, ran a very detailed story on Golden Dawn in Greece.  Its rise to prominence in Greece has been astonishing, and its attraction to many Greeks stems from the misery associated with the economic crisis.  The story is instructive.

The rise of intolerance in Greece is not unique in the world.  There has been a similar increase in political hostility in Pakistan, as cleavages within the society that were once unimportant all of a sudden have become reasons for violence.

  1. Besides Golden Dawn that spreads terror in Greece, there are many other terrorist groups around the world. The Genocide of the Hazara tribe is an example of this in Pakistan. I am specifically glad to see this post, to read about the grief of Hazaras in Pakistan whose situations isn’t represented much in the media and also to compare Golden Dawn with the terrorists in Pakistan who both have similar thoughts in terms of their hatred towards the immigrants.

    • The number of groups under attack in the world right now is quite large. The media does not do a very good job of covering these groups. We should try to bring them to the attention of the world’s journalists.
