Alcohol consumption in Pakistan: Don't mix sin with crime

The need for putting a crime tag on alcohol consumption and the discussion about whether it should be decriminalised are both symptoms of a society that is leaving its religion - the people of such a society are prudent due to consequences they may get from the penal system rather than any fear of how their souls will suffer and how they will lift their face before their Lord.

This is a very sad state … The ideal situation is that the law for the prohibition of the consumption of alcohol need not be in place because the citizens would not even consider it something that they want to do … But …How many times today have Muslims been on a plane, in duty free, or in any other legal alcohol selling setting and chosen to drink alcohol? This is where the problem lies …

The laws should be in place to control alcohol sales - but for those who wish to consume it … they will … despite any level of criminalisation … you can take the charsee out of the chars (environment), but you can’t take the chars out of the (heart) of the charsee … until he changes his own heart.

You never fail to amaze me.

Sometimes you support wrong assumption that somehow family planning or contraception is un-Islamic, other time you support and show people should appease and pacify racism and now you are showing your support for alcohol drinking and leaving it up to individual discretion and responsibility.

Aren’t you the one who limited the meaning of who is Muslim basically to believing what Kalimah says in Religious and Philosophy forum?

Bravo! (And this is a sarcasm)
