This refers to an advertisement headlined: "Non-Muslim sanitary workers required on contract basis", released by the Baldia Town nazim and published in this paper (Dec 7), inviting applications for sanitary workers.

The questions that arise are:

1. Why have Muslims been excluded from this job offer?

2. Isn't it demeaning for non-Muslims only to be qualified for sanitary work? (Don't Muslims perform this work in the holy cities of Makkah and Madina, where non-Muslims are prohibited entry?)

So much so for enlightened moderation.
