You are under threat of persecution, torture, or death; you never know when a bomb planted by extremists will take your life, or if you will be kidnapped for ransom, etc. Under such circumstances are you really breaking a religious commandment, or are you disguising yourself to infiltrate the camp of an enemy or ally?
Most of the issues our religious minorities face require dealing with extremists. We do not need to do any social experiments to figure that out. Pakistan is already fighting against terrorists & other extremists, & I hope that our government does something about foolish scholars giving out ignorant "fatwas". Once they are under control, many of the people that have been misled by them would require to be reeducated. That will naturally take some time, but education will help us solve a lot of the issues Pakistani society faces in regards to intolerance & extremism.
Didn't your brain comprehend that Islam forbids pretending to belong to another religion pointlessly? It's really annoying how you continuously ignore that. Read the link I gave you earlier in a previous post.
This experiment is similar to infiltration in some ways, the best that would come of it would be first hand knowledge regarding the sufferings of religious minorities. So if it is really necessary for Pakistanis to perform such an experiment, we can do so by asking a willing non-Muslim to take part in it.
Wow, if you think that's all that's needed you REALLY have to read
Black Like Me. If you can't afford the book Amazon does offer a
preview.
Who says that all that's needed is to come up with solutions & implement them? That is one of the steps we need to take of course. We need to understand the mindset of the people that can't get along with religious minorities as well. I could come up with more steps that we are required to take, but I don't feel it's necessary for this discussion. By the way, I can afford to buy that book, I am not poor.
The preview answers that question.
Gotta go. Good luck.
I don't have time to read go through the entire preview to search for an answer, it is you who must answer the question. In any case, I realize why this experiment would be useful, & I already told you previously that a non-Muslim could take part in it. By the way, have you conducted any social experiments to deal with the problems your society faces? I advise you to do so, don't forget to write a book about the results of your experiments either.
As I stated earlier, even if there were no religious restrictions, I would not be performing this experiment. I have other important duties & responsibilities that I need to fulfill relating to my job, studies, & family. I simply do not have time to undertake such a task.
Doing what i said is not against any tenet of Islam. so we would just have to agree to.disagree on this point.
It is against the tenets of Islam except under threat of persecution, torture or death. Muslims are forbidden to conceal their faith. An actor or an actress performing the rituals of another religion isn't exactly the same as concealing faith. An actor or an actress is acting without concealing faith, they are simply doing their job. This experiment that the other member suggested requires intentionally concealing your faith from others, & that is forbidden except under threat of persecution, torture, or death. Once again, refer to the link I told you about.
