Re: Alcohol consumption in Pakistan: Don’t mix sin with crime
Peace diwana
Well you misunderstood me then … In all the cases above. I am not against family planning so long as there is a certain mindset about it and certain restrictions about it. I never say people should appease racists … But if it is possible to deflate a situation that is better than complaining about it, which in the minds of racists will only strengthen their resolve and also make the victims more racist, there is a context to that too and racism should be confronted at society or institutional levels … In my post above I did say ‘in an ideal society’ which Pakistan is not … So the context is that good societies need not have strong laws … But immoral and irreligious societies need stronger laws to retain the religious flavour … So my point was addressing the reason why Pakistan needs the law … But also it is a complaint that had we been good enough we wouldn’t need it.
And regarding who is Muslim … I said again with an implied context that the most basic qualifier for being a Muslim is the Kalimah … Thereafter there is more and more focused criteria that also must be fulfilled.
