... I posted the entire OR for you to point out where it clashed with Quaid’s vision. I am still waiting for proof.
Let me (re)post it here:
2) According to Muhammad Munir, the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, the terms of the Objectives Resolution differed in all the basic points of the Quaid-i-Azam's views e.g:
a). The Quaid-i-Azam has said that in the new state sovereignty would rest with the people. The Resolution starts with the statement that sovereignty rests with Allah. This concept negates the basic idea of modern democracy that there are no limits on the legislative power of a representative assembly.
b). There is a reference to the protection of the minorities of their right to worship and practice their religion, whereas the Quaid-i-Azam had stated that there would be no minorities on the basis of religion.
c) The distinction between religious majorities and minorities takes away from the minority, the right of equality, which again is a basic idea of modern democracy.
d) The provision relating to Muslims being enabled to lead their life according to Islam is opposed to the conception of a secular state.
3) The Ulema themselves claimed that the Quaid-i-Azam's conception of a modern nation state became obsolete with the passing of the Objectives Resolution on 12th March 1949. (Munir Report p-203)

if one buys from halal earned money, no one can stop that.
We can agree to disagree on that...
one can always get a review. its a verdict not word of god himself.
And with whom would you lodge a review of the decision of the Shariat Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court of Pakistan ??
The Federal Shariat Court in its judgement (Dec, 1980) found nothing unIslamic about Land Reforms (by a majority of 4 to 1) .... It was the Shariat Appellate Bench (of the Supreme Court of Pakistan) which later overruled the Federal Shariat Court judgement in 1989, and declared that Land Reforms were unIslamic (by a majority of 3 to 2) ...
What happened between 1980 and 1989 ? Firstly, Ulema had been "added" to the Federal Shariat Court and the Shariat Appellate Bench (after 1982) ...... And secondly, the Cold War had ended and Socialism had fallen !! ... The world had changed and with the declaration that land reforms were prohibited by Islam, the Shariat Court had, in effect, declared the heart of the political agenda of the left in Pakistan to be un-Islamic.
When state appointed Men/Ulema begin to officially explore the meaning of God's law for the people of their own time, essentially, they are bound to get influenced by the prevailing local and global political realities. The whole idea of doing God's work is flawed, and it's best for the state not to involve itself with religion ..
