MuseMaybe more Islam is the answer - you know, the problem seems to be ethnic, and since we can't admit that, maybe if we feed them more Islam, they will stop being the ethnics that they are?
I do not want to digress from the thread here. However, if you read the history of making of Pakistan, please ask your self if there was no two nation theory, why was there any effort to make Pakistan at all. Why was there support for Pakistan from people from all over undivided India knowing that they will never be a part of it unless they migrated. Do you even know what the feelings of people were at the time of partition.
Secondly if you agree that Pakistan was made in the name of Islam, then why is it that to this date no one has done anything to implement Islam,other than paying lip service to it. And please be very clear that by Islam I dont mean the rigid and uninformed version of the Mullah but an educated and informed population based on the words of Quran and AUTHENTIC Hadeeth. Have we so little faith in Allah SWT that we feel that a complete system given by Allah is now no good for us?
Please also take some time to read the history of the fall of East Pakistan to understand how this nation was blatantly lied to and misinformed and how brother was made to fight brother in the name of ethnicity. I have witnessed those days and seen the pain in the eyes of my father and uncle as they witnessed the fall of East Pakistan. This is something people of your generation will never understand.
Islam is not some pill that is the cure all and will rid our corrupt and corrupted nation overnight. It needs dedication, perseverance and sacrifice, something which our polity and indeed the higher echelon of the society has forgotten. It took the prophet SAW 23 yrs to resurrect the corrupted society of his time and mould it in accordance with Allah's wishes and even though the fabric of that society got dented with the shahadat of Hazrat Ali, the benefits were reaped for at least 800 yrs. So to think that ISlam will be inducted overnight is as foolhardy as it gets.
Iwill not indulge in any further debate on the matter at the risk of derailing the topic at hand, but write this in support of what Pshamim saheb has already said. As to Altaf Hussain and his merry men, they have the support of the people of urban Sindh and whereas I have reservations about their modus opperendi, I cant deny the fact that they have done a lot for the urban part of Sindh where they have been provided the opportunities. Both Imran And Farooq Sattar were my class mates, and although I have made a point of keeping well away from both in their hay days( I incidentally met Farooq last December and the meeting was just like old days!!) I was very sad to hear of Imran's untimely and tragic death. As to what he did or did not do in his life is something which he will answer to his maker,and we should all leave it at that. As to his murder, I think we should wait for the full enquiry to come out and the results will prove what is what. If Scotland Yard have proof of complicity of anyone, they will prosecute and the justice system of Britain will no doubt judge wisely and justly. So lets wait and not accuse people before the full results come out.
