Re: Can Pakistan rid itself of religious fanaticism?
A liberal idea is an idea that is a part of, or derived from liberal ideologies. Alternatively it could be accurate in zaban-e-aam to call an idea ‘liberal’ if it is propagated by a majority of liberals. From the thread you linked the following is clear:
9 people backed drone attacks continuing. Since the poll is not a public one, I have no means of verifying whether these are nine distinct people. But assuming that to be the case (since I am generous), I will note that far more people are adopting the ‘liberal’ position on the Salman Taseer issue, far more people are debating and condeming the ‘Mullas’ (if thats what makes them ‘liberal’) than the 9 posters from that poll. Also I just skimmed through the first two pages and I found atleast 5 posters who voted ‘no’ and I know to have liberal opinions.
On evidence of that thread there is no basis to call ‘drone attacks’ a liberal idea.
