Bhai, You are reading history with distorted vision. It is our beloved Ulima Ikram that stood firm against the khawarij and Mufti like Naieemi saab was murdered by them. Our masjid were bombed and yet we did not waiver in holding the torch of truth. We are beacon for all that is good and righteous. Bhai jaan, I've asked you before what is an agnostic Muslim and yet to receive a reply.
Look, I have no issue with the Ulema
peacefully raising their voice against certain laws or policies of the State. If they want to take out 'million man marches', do so as every other entity (including Imran Khan and the PTI) should do, which is by applying for the proper permissions from the government and ensuring that roads and businesses are not blocked and people not inconvenienced in carrying out their daily activities.
What I have a major problem with are implicit and explicit threats of violence and support for violence and terrorism, as these 'Ulema' have done with their support for Mustafa Qadri and arbitrary and nonsensical demands for 'implementing Shariah' when there is no consensus within Pakistan over what constitutes 'Shariah', given that the interpretation of 'Shariah' ranges from the evil and degenerate views expressed by Daish in Iraq and Syria, TTP in Pakistan, to the backward and regressive views implemented in Saudi Arabia. Without a consensus over what 'Shariah' actually means, it cannot be implemented, and Pakistanis have shown time and again that they do not like what the 'Ulema' have to offer ideologically since these 'Ulema' based parties cannot win in the elections, despite the fact that parties like the Jamaat-e-Islami are the best organized parties in Pakistan.
So you want to negate my emaan by saying my loyality comes over and above Allah and his nabi as'saathu was'saaam. My Islam is not for sale and my love for Pakistan will and ALWAYS will come after my love for Allah and his Nabi as'salthu was'salaam mere bhai agnostic. Why don't you come to Mirpur and I'll introduce you to Mufti saab and insha'Allah he'll correct you aqeedah.
Sorry, but your Ulema support terrorism and massacres as a means of shutting down debate and free speech, as can be seen by their support for Mustafa Qadri's murder of Salman Taseer. When they cannot even accept the right of people to think freely, why should I put myself in a physical location where they'll commit murder and then justify it under 'Blasphemy Laws', and then threaten 'million man marches and terrorism' when the government tries to hold them accountable?
Until the Ulema accept the basic principle of allowing free speech, debate and discussion by supporting the repeal of blasphemy laws, they have no argument - they've already lost.
yaar they're not Islami! They would kill me and they're khawarij. On a more important note why should I leave my beloved land of the pure? This is my country more than the secularists and liberals who bring in foreign ideology.
You yourself stated that loyalty to Pakistan is not your primary concern - then what reason do you have to be in Pakistan? It's one thing to state that you are loyal to Pakistan but disagree with the policies and laws, and want to remain in Pakistan to bring about change by working within the system, but you can't even state that loyalty to Pakistan comes first for you.
Everybody in Pakistan points to Afghan war as the start of terrorism in Pakistan. Talibans are supported, trained and equipped by ISI.
And that is the past, the TTP are now being hunted and killed by the same Army and ISI, so the Mullah's and Madrassa's need to change or they too need to be hunted and neutralized like the TTP.
