Pakistan was achieved in the name of Islam. Kayani .

Pakistan is not secular and will never be.
We believe Islamic guidelines will ensure a prosperous society since Islam holds everyone equally accountable in the court and makes no exception.
Also the Islamic guidelines in no way impede the scientific advancement of a people, actually the emphasis in Islam to learn everything and to unravel the mysteries of the world provided a great impetus to the early Muslims in their bid to educate themselves and work tirelessly to achieve scientific excellence.

Islam defines very clear guidelines and there is a lot of margin in the implementation which gives clear flexibility to the legislators to amend and modify the laws in keeping with the situational requirements in accordance with the time and event that are certain to bring about great changes in the social setup.
It is proven by our history that the guidelines of Islam do provide a just and emancipated society where people are not bound by their parentage, caste or creed. The success story of these very principles spans centuries and across the globe.
The threat of Islamic laws is mostly to the political elite who will be much more accountable, even the concept of presidential immunity is actually against Islam which clearly gives the right to any citizen (regardless of the religion) to take the ruler to court.
The point is that in Pakistan the issue was not of failure in thought but in implementation, when implementation fails then eventually the plan is also doubted which is why there are many who deem that the woes of Pakistan is because of an Islamic identity.
This is certainly not the case, the problem is the lapse in the implementation of our laws and not with the ideology. The ideology which is based on the principles of equality, justice and fair play for all is rock solid and acceptable to an overwhelming majority of Pakistanis.

Also if we do abandon the Islamic laws to the likes of the terrorists then we shall be committing a great crime in letting these rascals be the flag bearers of our way of life.
They know zero about Islamic law and thrive on ignorance and that is the reason they resort only to terrorism, because they have no logic and weight in the eyes of Islam for their actions and their claimed rights to carry out these actions.

I love your reply brother. It is straight to the point and very honest IMO. I could not have explained it any better myself! Well done

yes kayani is right...pakistan is the only country in the world created in the name of Islam..but what has pakistan achieved so far ever since its creation?...Fundamentalists,extremists,religious fanatics and some elements in pakistan army and the ISI have taken pakistan back in stone age in the name of Islam..and its not that they care about Islam but they have vested interests in everything they do in the name of Islam.

These people have not only ruined Pakistan but also have ruined Islam...today Islam is associated with violence,bloodshed and terrorism...And people responsible for this should hang their head in shame

BTW, anyone else notice that Gen. Kiyani is having to act like a politician and do the job of the Prime Minister/President?

If we had a presidential system of government I would say he might have had an extremely good chance of being elected president after retiring.

Couldnt resist: Going by Pakistan's political history, I bet he has a pretty good chance of 'becoming' President even without retiring!

It was good to hear about islam from army after this long musharaf era of modern enlightenment.

Laws in pakistan dont opress any minority

. Pakistan is an Islamic republic and its time again to say what pakistan people think of themselves not what a military dictators wants us to be.

I am curious why you would say that, with Pakistans
Blasphemy laws and its treatment of minioritys Pakistan is considered one of the worse countries in the world for its treatment of non muslims.

I mean no offense,, but do you not know any better or is it an inability to face reality....

hmmm.. Pakistan's founding principle was that Muslims can't be ruled by non-Hindus. Since in India Hindus formed the majority a democratic setup wuld have meant that Muslims would be ruled by non-Muslims.
It was a narrow way to look at things. We are humans - all of us. I need food water, shelter, a purpose in life that is constructive and meaningful and so does a Muslim, Hindu, Christian. A govt. or country should strive to develop itself. India and Pak need to do this.

I am amazed how people can thank such a low standard post

yes kayani is right...pakistan is the only country in the world created in the name of Islam..but what has pakistan achieved so far ever since its creation?

Right so far!

Fundamentalists,extremists,religious fanatics and some elements in pakistan army and the ISI have taken pakistan back in stone age in the name of Islam..and its not that they care about Islam but they have vested interests in everything they do in the name of Islam.

Wow wow wow.. wait a minute. What the hell are you talking about? Look, since you are new here so I should tell you, such post ask for real bashing and you don't want to be in the line of fire.
The picture you are drawing is totally absurd and an imagination of some sick mind.
Don't tell me there aren't Fundamentalists,extremists, and religious fanatics in your country. And which stone age are you talking about? and which ISI Army officer, talk objectively. Give names, references etc. If we are so very in stone age, then why you guys are so afraid of Pakistan? why have we become a night mare for your country?

These people have not only ruined Pakistan but also have ruined Islam...today Islam is associated with violence,bloodshed and terrorism...And people responsible for this should hang their head in shame

And you think this started in Pakistan? you think Pakistan is responsible for bloodshed and all this? Do you have any Idea where did this bloodshed start from.
Why is it so that every Indian knows one thing and one thing only i.e. Talk absurd about Pakistan and talk and talk. Do they teach this in schools in India???

Would you prefer I lie and say with Pakistan blasphemy hudood-sharia type laws that Pakistan is the most enlighten in its treatment of minorities and women in the world...
