Re: Making sense of Pakistan: Imagining Pakistan sans the religious fixation
LOL.. Indian inspired! How about ispired by common sense.
Im of the oppinion that those calling for secularism and a seperation of politics and religion in Pakistan are the most Muslim of all.
Politics is a dirty business, and relgion should never be mixed in with it.
The role of the govt is clear cut. Make sure your people are educated, defense, and making sure we have the basic needs met (None of which the Pak govt is successful at), not wasting time and resources on who is practicing what religion and how.
The whole reason the govt trumpets it pseudo Islamic credentials is to distract simple minded people from the the fact that the govt has failed so miserably at the above responisbilites.
