Re: Pakistan as Muslim country
I think Lahore and Picoico had a great discussion on the values that are to be preserved and promoted.
We all had been to the road of questiong the ‘rules’ and ‘laws’ asking WHY? WHY NOT? etc.
I am not sure how old or experienced SW is but its probably going to be the time when she will realize the importance of having RULES and Disciplines.
Even in west college girls are not allowed to or are advised to walk outside dorm with a man. Nothing wrong with it. it is waste of taxpayer money to fight crimes and need to be prevented at all front.
We seem to have drifted away from topic due to one person’s adherence to ‘personal choice’ when it has been so obvious that so called ‘personal choice’ is not so freely available in ANY society for good reason.
Society has to enforce rules and laws to protect people from being hurt. And no matter how much SW denies she can’t deny that women in general NEED strong support of a man. off course minority of exceptions may exist but why should majority be put in danger for it?
I keep talking about west since there we see so called freedom of choice. A woman suffers lot more in west than east and its a fact! Woman works, takes care of household.
Before this she is a toy for several men (Average number of men a woman end up kissing in her lifetime is somewhere 60-80) who after dating for years say ‘I don’t love you anymore’. Men leave child in the hand of women and single mom gets back to dating game and many more men play her around.
Just read the statistics of single moms barely making a good life and at the mercy of male dominance society. keeping in shape, looking out for boyfriend, jealosy for her girlfriend who has a better b.f., Lack of support from parents for finding a mate etc. just add to problems.
It all depends what kind of problems you want to have eastern or western, problems will be there.
MALES ARE DOMINAT ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY WILL REMAIN DOMINANT. Admit this fact.
Every culture promotes male dominance at the end of day. Its an illusion that a woman can live by herself or do everything all by herself. Men on the other hand do need women but in many aspects they have upper hand.
How many women can change the tire of a mini truck? Just kidding. But even in this joke there is something to think about. How many women can actually travel long distances without a man?
OK the ‘just friend’ concept or cousin concept is thrown.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MAN AND WOMAN BEING JUST FRIEND! Platonic relationship is just a hoax. NOWHERE in the world that exists.
If woman is pure in her thinking, believe me man will NOT have pure thinking! Its the nature of the ‘business’ and nothing wrong in accepting it.
Same is cousin thought. When it will be considered allowed to advance the relation, it will be advanced and chance of intermingling will be high.
So thats why islam prohibits woman being alone or with non-mahram at hajj.
Once the person is outside his/her house its not ‘personal’ anymore. Even many acts are not considered personal despite the person stays at home!
NOW the question is what should be Pakistani response to the double standard against Pakistan in the world just because it has word Islam attached to it?
