Re: Only Whiskey Distillery in Muslim World Defies Prohibition
I shouldn't have to teach you history, but all and sundry knows what state Pakistan was in prior to Zia...you may get cheap thrills about Pakistan's alleged liberal past (albeit restricted to an almost insignificant portion of the population, and the most insignificant accomplishments...like producing alcohol), but it's just plain inaccurate to blame Zia for it's current state of affairs.
To paraphrase Joel...he didn't start the fire.
The point is that even during Zia's period of 'islamization' alcohol was available. So when ppl talk about current regime, they ned to go back and find out how things were. Alcohol was freely available in BB and Nawaz era also.
if all and sundry know what state pakistan was in before zia's era then surely they are not acknowledging it.
