via The Express Tribune: Followers of all religions co-existed peacefully in the sub-continent, especially in Sindh and Punjab, showing acceptance and tolerance towards each other. Recent incidents such as the anti-Christian riots, attacks on the Shia community and the desecration of Bhuro Bheel’s body in Badin, however, show that the tolerance taught by Sufism is largely missing today, remarked Prof Dr Jürgen Wasim Frembgen.
In his lecture on ‘Tolerance in Sufism’, a part of the Aga Khan University’s Sixth Sense Forum lecture series on Friday, Prof Frembgen highlighted various aspects of Sufism and its impact on the religions practiced in the region. Prof Frembgen, an Islamicist, anthropologist and writer, is the chief curator of the Islamic Collection at Munich State Museum of Ethnology and a professor of history of religion and Islamic culture at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies at University of Munich, Germany.
