Re: Hisba Bill
Zakk true - but that doesn't mean we should not point out as what is wrong as wrong. The Hisbah Bill is being advertised as Islamic, and its so offensive to me that someone would have the nerve to draft that thing up and call it Islamic. There is nothing Islamic about it, and whoever drafted it doesn't know what the previous successful Shariats in history look like to begin with!
Definitely the present government has its problems, but I prefer Musharraf to Benazir Bhutto or Nawaz Sharif any day - at least they are doing certain things that are awesome for the country. They aren't able to fix all the problems, but no one can do that - I bet I can't - I bet you can't. So I think we should appreciate it where honest attempts are being made, and have the courage to point out where wrongdoings are committed.
And manipulating religion to get political power is like one of the BIGGEST wrongdoings in my book.
I think a mullah playing dirty politics is worse sign of the degradation of society than a crook playing dirty politics.
At least everyone knows the crook is a crook. With mullahs, you might actually get decieved into thinking that what they're saying is "pleasing to God".
