Keep that in your personal life - I don't give a rat's arse whether you go to heaven or hell and I don't want you, the State or anyone else looking at my personal life to determine whether I go to heaven or hell.Bhai you are asking me to choose my faith over Pakistan. You've said what comes first and I tell you my love/loyality for ALLAH and his NABI (as'salathu was'salaam) comes before my love/loyality for my parents and anything, and everything else.
We are not talking about choosing which car is better; rather talking about hell and heaven!
This is a simple concept, which is why Western forms of government (that separate religion from the government) are in fact the closest to an Islamic system of governance. Unless my actions have a tangible negative impact on another individual's, the government has no need to interfere in the lives of citizens.
It's your choice - don't vote, but then don't threaten others over blasphemy being Ahmadi etc either. Live your personal life as you wish to (provided no one else is tangibly impacted) and let others change the government and their lives as they wish.As a Pakistani, I obey the law of the land. We don't vote in nizam al-Kufr. This is why NO REAL Ulima Ikram vote or partake in the corrupt anti-Islamic system. With respect to JUI and Tahirul Qadari, we know who and what they are!
Without participating in the current democratic system you can't have a 'peaceful transfer of power'.Bhai jaan don't make silly statements and insulting our beloved Ulima-ikram. Yes, we want peaceful transfer of power to the Ulima Ikram. I pray for that day for the people to be more knowledgeable of their faith.
Again, the blinkers are on your eyes - the current system is in place and cannot be changed without amendments to the constitution which cannot occur without politicians (who want to change the system) being elected by the people - this means either your ulema participate in the democratic system in place now or stick to mosques and stop whining about the urgently needed reforms in Blasphemy laws and an end to discriminatory and morally repugnant restrictions on Ahmadis.Again, let me reiterate as it seems people here are wearing blinkers; we want PEACEFUL transfer of power and remain patient until Allah gives the keys of power to the Ulima Ikram.
Please provide specifics on how exactly the 'Ulema' will achieve these goals.Tell me who can achieve PEACE with Hindustan? Tell me who can solve the IOK and Siachen problem? Only the Ulima Ikram can do this.
The religious chest-beaters have done far more damage to this country in the last decade, through terrorism, suicide bombings and the spreading of hatred and intolerance, than the secular or liberal class ever did, or could ever do.The secularists and fanatical liberals have ruined the country for 70 years and there is a lot of mess that needs cleaning up. People are poor, no law and order, Pakistan's image ruined (called, Pakistanis would sell their mother for a $1000 and now for a dinner), no education for the poor, no electricity, wide-spread and open corruption.
The people in government have primarily damaged Pakistan economically and in development - the religious right & Ulema have done far deeper damage to Pakistan's soul - they have spread hatred and intolerance. Even ZA Bhutto's decision to impose morally repugnant restrictions on Ahmadi's was done to satisfy the Jahul 'Ulema Ikram', as was the enactment of Blasphemy laws.Secularists have done a lot of damage to the land of the pure and filled their own pockets. Strange they go into gormant poor and come out rich.
The theft of money from corrupt politicians can be overcome far more quickly than the Ulema's spreading of hatred and intolerance.
It does nothing - to be a good human being (which none of these Ulema are given their support for a terrorist murder called Mustafa Qadri) does not require wearing a 'Dish dasha' or 'Shawlar Qamiz' - it requires respect for all human beings regardless of their beliefs. Your 'Ulema' have over the decades shown no such respect, and are even now (as shown in the OP) supporting terrorism, hatred and intolerance.Yes, it does. If you're not happy who you are then you're a slave of those you follow. We are salves of Allah and not to any nation or man.
I will wear my jeans and t-shirts and sleep well at night knowing that I at least am not responsible for supporting terrorists, hatred and intolerance. You can
The morally repugnant laws against Ahmadis were passed to satisfy 'Ulema Ikram'.In Pakistan we don't have religion playing any part in gormant. Pakistan is a secular country.
The morally repugnant laws requiring a Pakistani to declare their religion on their passport/ID were passed to satisfy 'Ulema Ikram'
The morally repugnant laws on Blasphmey were passed to satisfy 'Ulema Ikram'
The latitude given to religious institutions to violate laws and harass innocent people in Pakistan is done to satisfy these same morally repugnant 'Ulema Ikram'.
Allowing Ulema Ikram to spread hatred and intolerance through their sermons mosques and madrassa's is done to satisfy these 'Ulema Ikram'.
I may disagree with Hoodhboy on a lot of issues, but on the issue of regulating and reigning in the hatred and intolerance spread by the 'Mosque & Madrassa Establishment' he is absolutely correct:What Pakistan need to do is to lock Mullah inside their seminaries if they want a progressive and least violent future.
