Here an old story...
Never you asked yourself why it is the Lion who ruled and not Bigger & stronger animals like the Elephant?
Well this answer is simple...
The Elephant, by his strenght and power has no equal in the animal kingdom... But it's a special animal... he has a tendancy to, not always defend one of his own when they are in need or in danger, most of the time he choose safety upon survival.
It's something the Lion can't do...he always attack whoever may lay a teeth on one of his own... That's why the animal kingdom choosed him as a ruler.
That's why most of Civilisation and Kings choosed the image of the Lion, not because of his limited strenght but for his particular personality...
Today, whatever it's Pakistan or other countries ( almost every muslim one) none of them are Lions or even cubs...but some sort of an Elephant... thinking that playing safe, and shutting their eyes around what they believe wrong, just to keep their position and image...safe.
Playing the Elephant card is only keeping the unavoidable... at bait for few more years/decades...
Taking no position wasn't, is and will never be a successful strategy... Even under our rassul ( or any prophets) ... this strategy wasn't used... taking no position is also saying that the good and the wrong are equal...
