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.

could not agree more with this statement of yours. If someone drinks or gambles or does n’t pray or fast, as long as he’s a peaceful and law abiding citizen and not harming or inciting anyone, the governement or state has no business telling them what they should and should n’t be doing. Religion is a scared and private matter between each individual and God

I am ofcourse not advocating that one should start drinking and gambling. As muslims we all know what our duties (to both God and mankind) are. Sometimes a bit of commonsense is all that is needed
