^ MQM is always in government and in opposition at the same time. Can we move on now?

could anyone tell me what’s wrong with the regulation passed?

we have surrendered a portion of our country’s legal authority to a gang with guns.

We have validated a legal system that was not framed by the elected representatives of the area or the country, but by people who said:

If members of the National Assembly opposed the judicial system of the Shariat-e-Muhammadi, they will enter the category of non-Muslims and Pakistan will become Darul Harb

Explaining Darul Harb, he said when the rulers of a country opposed the Shariah, they did not remain Muslims anymore. So a country with non-Muslims as its rulers becomes Darul Harb, he said and added that it made Jihad mandatory on rulers.

Muslim Khan, the spokesman for the Swat militants, warned that those opposing the Nizam-e-Adl would be declared Murtad or apostate. **Then, he or she should contest election on minority seat, if he or she remains alive, he said.

can you tell me what ‘sharia’ it is thats been imposed in the area? could the lawmakers who voted yes tell us? No. Is it the same sharia the country with the exception of a few hardened nuts condemned, and said no no this is not Islam.

If one cares about democracy at all, we need to understand that this is a bad blow to whatever democratic norms we have. Laws are supposed to come from elected representatives. Not from surrender to a bunch of thugs with guns.

It is truly a shame that more people did not stand up against this.
