Nice to read this, although I have never had the opportunity to meet a non-Muslim Pakistani. I find it strange that they'd make anyone to swear on the state religion's holy book. Does it not defeat the purpose of the oath? Theoretically, if the minority-community officer wanted to be unethical, he could do so without any guilt conscience. It is ironical because in courts and consulates, the person's religious book is used for oath. But anyway.
I feel the judge's statement of equating India and Hindus (if true) insults two sets of people - Indian non-Hindus and non-Indian Hindus, including in Pakistan. Having said that, I don't think Indians should have been meddling in this. It is Pakistan's internal affair. It is similar to Pakistani members alluding to Gujarat and Kashmir in their posts. Those are Indian states and what happens in them is the internal matter of India. And if we as Indians don't like that, let's be consistent and stay away from sympathizing with Pakistani Hindus. As for feeling bad about Hinduism being equated with terrorism, remember that religion is too magnanimous to be affected by racist remarks. Realize that many Muslims have to live with those remarks in the present day world for no fault of theirs. We just have to brush these aside and move on.
On a different note, one of the members took exception to the uncharitable reference to the CJP. How come this was not extended when someone called the head of the state a thug? For what he is worth, he is the President. And if he is disrespected for speaking without thinking, can't the same be said for the CJ?
Hi mate U wanted to see a non muslim pakistani here i am.
Let me clear this with you guys. Pakistanis (majority) respect minorities.Oath is taking alligance to your work,putting your hand on a book (Quran,Bible or Geeta) is symbolic.It shows that spiritually your god or gods are witness to your oath.As Prophet muhamad or Jesus or Vishnu will not come down for your oath cermony their scriptures are used.
You have to understand that when ever hindus are taken into context in means india.
Like wise when some members here say CHRISTIAN CRUSADERS KILLING MUSLIMS that dosen't include us pakistani christians.Although any dumb jurnalist can make it sound offending to us.We are pakistani first and then christians, if the crusaders had such a good heart they wouldn't have done what they had done.
The CJP was supported by the people of pakistan this was not the case with our president .He sneaked in.
