Pakistan is not an Islamic State: Siraj-ul-Haq

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chief Siraj-ul-Haq said Pakistan is not an Islamic state.


In his address to a gathering he said, “There are 2 percent families that are ruling Pakistan and 98 percent people are suffering at their expense. Farmers and laborers have suffered the most and they have never got their due share.”

He further said, “Pakistan is not an Islamic country. How can a man who is not giving rights to his women fit to be a councilor? How can corrupt rulers rule the country? Until and unless these people are not punished according to Islamic law Pakistan cannot prosper.”

“Jamaat-e-Islami has chalked out a plan for the next 25 years for Pakistan. We have made a list of 500 people who are PhDs and M.Phils in various subjects. They would help Pakistan grow in IT, Industry, Agriculture and various other sectors,” said Siraj-ul-Haq.

Oh shit, well there goes that everybody pack your bags we gotta go back in time.
We need to make sure the british raj goes straight from kingdom to country and then uphold a communist revolution and take the place of the PRC in the modern day.








Seriously what do you wan't us to do about it?
Which countries are 'islamic states'?

 

[xyxmt]

Yes we know it is not, France is

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

Pakistan is a Muslim country, but not an Islamic country or state

 

[Verve]

Pakistan is a Muslim country, but not an Islamic country or state

And that is exactly the problem!

This is not surprising. Many Islamists consider Pakistan to be a kafir country because it still uses British laws, democracy, and interest-based banking. They want only Sharia as law if the land.

I can see why they do so poorly in elections.

Pakistan is a democratic country and a Muslim State. Let it grow and prosper. Respect other Beliefs. Be tolerant. It shouldn't turn into another Saudi. It needs to have a balanced approach.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

he is right.
much needs to be changed. only punishments are not part of Islam. education, cleanliness, justice, interest free economy are what we need to be called a real Islamic country as economy based on banking systems involving usury means we are at war with Allah.

they should do justice with name Jammat e Islami by including representation from all other sects then talk about injustice in Pakistan. till now its Jammat e Deoband and mododiyat.

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

I'd rather commit suicide than live under the barbaric sharia law.

Do you even know what Shariah law is? Or did you learn that through Fox News and Wikiislam?

 

[sbh02]

I'm glad it's a democratic Muslim state, not an Islamic state.

We need to make it more secular than it is, and get rid off the blasphemy laws.

 

[Lagay Raho]

Do you even know what Shariah law is? Or did you learn that through Fox News and Wikiislam?

its our precious false flagger dont waste time with him

 

[PakistaniNawab]

Islam is all about justice saudi and isis follow wahabi doctrine which was created a century ago it limits women rights and the force implementation of the hijab and niqab.

Damn...who knew that Pakistanis no longer like anything Islamic. Suicide is a bit much but ok.
