If you guys think that Salman Taseer, Zardari, Gilani, etc are faces of liberalism in Pakistan, then i guess this "liberal" phenomenon is standing on pretty thin legs and won't survive. and i really hope that it doesn't.
Liberalism is not bad phenomenon. The concept and meaning of liberalism is to liberate the soul from all sorts of social structures and material strains. that includes freedom from shackles of slavery, political freedom, freedom to live a free and justly. and this is why Pakistan was came into being to liberate the muslims of subcontinent from hindu domination in all spheres of life.
But these corrupt liberals constantly use examples of Iqbal and Jinnah to deceive the ignorant masses into buying their personal agendas often influenced by foreign powers.
Iqbal and Jinnah sacrificed everything in their lives to give the hopeless muslims of the subcontinent a name, a country, a place to live in and preserve their identity. Iqbal and Jinnah were noble people. They sacrificed everything in their lives. They were credible people with characters and noble intentions and far sighted.
What have these characterless corrupt and immoral "liberals" done for the country?
I think Pakistan really needs another Gen Zia to come and bulldoze this corrupt face of liberalism once and for all that is hidden under the waderas/mafia political dynasties.
