Mohammad Jibran Nasir said it was time for him to do his part to "reclaim Pakistan" after a bombing in his native Karachi killed about 50 people in a Shiite-majority neighborhood. Nasir is Sunni.
It didn't matter. Or maybe it did.
"The Sunnis won't sympathize because someone is a Shiite," said Nasir as he sipped from a cup of hot tea in Claremont before a talk at Pomona College. "I mourn the fact that people are not able to mourn the loss of victims. I mourn apathy."
The 2013 bombing, designed to fan sectarian violence between minority Shiite and majority Sunni Muslims, helped inspire the 28-year-old activist to kick off a six-week tour last month of colleges and universities throughout the United States to tell Pakistanis in America that their homeland is "not a nation of Taliban apologists," that together they could find a solution to the religious intolerance and violence back home.
