Re: America is one sick place!
A state espousing any religion is not secular. Most western countries do not espouse any religion. And if they do, they are wrong as well. Your entire post is so obviously self contradictory its ridiculous.
Islam you say is the state religion, and religion by definition is perceived to be divinely ordained, but then you say that the state does not view it as divine, and yet believes it to be the state religion … 
So if the state does not view Islam as being divine, why does it make Islam the state religion? and if it is not divine according to the state, then where did it come from?
If Pakistan has survived this long, its thanks to the sanity purveyed through the presence of secular laws. Had it not been for the iota of secular thought that has existed, the entire country would have gone the way of Afghanistan long ago.
Pakistans refrences to Islam in the Constitution:
The name ‘Islamic Republic of Pakistan’ is selected for the state of Pakistan.
Islam is declared as the state religion of Pakistan.
Steps shall be taken to enable the Muslims of Pakistan, individually or collectively, to order their lives in accordance with the fundamental principles and basic concepts of Islam. (What about the Non Muslims?)
Steps shall be taken to make the teaching of the Qur’an and Islamiyat compulsory,to encourage and facilitate the learning of Arabic language and to secure correct and exact printing and publishing of the Qur’an.
Proper organisation of Zakat, waqf and mosques is ensured.
The state shall lprevent prostitution, gambling and consumption of alcohol, printing, publication, circuation and display of obscene literature and advertisements.
**Only a Muslim could be qualified for election as President (male or female) and Prime Minister (male or female). No restriction as to religion or gender on any other post, up to and including provincial governor and Chief Minister.
All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Qur’an and Sunnah and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such injunctions.
A Council of Islamic Ideology shall be constituted referred to as the Islamic Council. The functions of the Islamic Council shall be to make recommendations to Parliament and the Provincial Assemblies about the ways and means of enabling and encouraging the Muslims of the Pakistan to order their lives in accordance with the principles of Islam.
The President or the Governor of a province may, or if two fifths of its total membership so requires, a House or a Provincial Assembly shall, refer to the Islamic Council for advice on any question as to whether a proposed law is or is not repugnant to the injunctions of Islam.
For the first time, the Constitution of Pakistan gave definition of a Muslim which states: ‘Muslim’ means a person who believes in the unity and oneness of Allah, in the absolute and unqualified finality of the Prophethood of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, and does not believe in, or recognise as a prophet or religious reformer, any person who claimed or claims to be a prophet, in any sense of the word or of any description whatsoever, after Muhammad.
The state shall endeavor to strengthen the bonds of unity among Muslim countries.
The Second Amendment (wef 17 September 1974) of the 1973 Constitution declared for the first time the Ahmadiyya Community (derogatorily known as Qadianis) or the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Lahoris) as non-Muslims, **and their leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who claimed to be prophet of God, to which mainstream Muslims do not agree with.[7]
[edit]
Its not the presence of Secular laws which has hindered Pakistan, its the presence of these “Islamic” Laws and provisions that has hindered and retarded the evolution of the nation. These so called Islamic laws have diluted the solid base on which Pakistan was founded and slowly eroded not only the state, but the sanity of its citizens.
