The editor of Newsweek Pakistan made the bold claim that child molestation sometimes leads to great art in a Tuesday tweet.
Fasih Ahmed, editor and publisher of Newsweek Pakistan, claimed that child molestation will always exists and will always continue, regardless of outrage or campaigns against it.
“The sexual abuse of children will always exist. You can never eliminate it. Sometimes it leads to great art. So there’s also that,” Ahmed said, before referencing a #MeToo movement in Pakistan launched by the rape and murder of a 7-year-old girl.
Child sexual abuse has always happened, is happening, and will always continue. Two days of outrage on Twitter and participating in a 10-person vigil may make you feel so noble but that’s all just about you, not those who’ve been victimized

You know uncles, servants, teachers, cousins, random shopkeepers hurt boys and girls. Did you report them? Did you have the balls to step out of your denial? This is the cause du jour. Default mode denial is just around the corner. Zainab is not a watershed moment

After facing outrage over Twitter about his comments, Ahmed stressed that they were his own comments and he had not been hacked.
My account has not been hacked. Relax
