Re: Lal masjid fanatics again
People like me and you will never have resources to do such a thing. But again there are some obvious things about politicians which help us categorize them.
For example.
In case a charismatic leader, who have ability to control masses, we could always monitor his actual impact on mass mind.
Like at one point bhutto drove people crazy. All "have nots" started thinking what richer people had belonged to poor people.etc etc As a result crime increased.
I don't want to give any current day's leader exampleas as we might get into useless argument.
Why not? The biggest resources that Allah has given to humans are intelligence and logic. Allah test humans? … No, that is not true … Actually Allah does not test humans, Allah test the intelligence and logic that Allah has given to humans (Allah sees how much of his this gift a person has used to determine things around oneself and how unbiased a person was when using this gift). That is the reason those Allah has not given intelligence Islam declares them innocent of all sins. For instance, those who are mentally retarded, lunatic or those who are children (whose intelligence is not developed) do not go through any tests (they only become test for others with intelligence).
So, use your intelligence, think, use your logic, and you will find out who you can criticize with proof (circumstantial or real) and who you cannot. For instance, it is not necessary that one can call someone thief because one saw that person stealing, as a person can be called thief if that person has stuff that by any measure he could not have, and when questioned, that person cannot justify (or is not bothered to justify) how he/she got that stuff.
Real example: The wealth BB has; the money she spends in western countries, she cannot justify that using the means she has, neither she ever bothered to explain her resources. Further, there are many accusations on her that she stole Pakistan’s wealth and she never came out to explain that (rather at times she lied about her wealth). Her name and her corruption was used as excuse in American senate to change American banking laws, but she never protested about that neither sued American senate for that. She is accused of corruption and her husband was accused of drug smuggling in British papers and TV number of times, but she never protested and sued British media. She got convicted in Switzerland and Pakistan on corruption. Just imagine that the way she lives in west and Dubai (her standard of living); she bought various properties and spends millions of pounds (and she is spending that since number of years) but have no source of regular income, so where the money is coming from? Well, you look for it and you will get the reasons to call her corrupt and could justify that after death too.
Further, we all may know her as politician but Farooq Laghari knew her more than any of her voters. Most of BB voters may not have even seen her but Laghari knew her since her childhood and saw her more closely then most Pakistanis. As President, Laghari had access to everything she was doing while in office (including corruptions). Laghari was not only very close to her politically but was loyal PPP supporter and was one of her family friend. BB proposed him and voted for him to become President. Now if Laghari has declared that she is corrupt than obviously he can be trusted on this matter more than any voters who do not know anything about her, still believe that she is not corrupt.
The state of economy, the work government has done, the loan government has taken, all financial matters, all contracts that went during her periods, and many things if analysed logically and intelligently, sign of corruptions is not difficult to find.
So, do not say that one do not have sources to know many things about these politicians as many of us have the biggest source Allah has given to human, that is intelligence and logic (only follower of Shaitan deny that ‘intelligence and logic’ is the biggest source to humans given by Allah to acquire knowledge and guidance).
*But than even after using intelligence and logic in unbiased way, still one cannot determine something about others, its best to keep quite (as what we say and do we would be answerable to Allah on judgment day, but what we don’t say or act upon, we would not be answerable). Better safe than sorry (on judgment day)
