Re: Poll: Muslim youth feel alienated from secular politics but want Islamic laws!
- the pak constitution does no deny the onesness of allah(swt) nor does it deny islam as a “religion” however it does not make the Quran and Sunnah as the source of legislation.
2.Over 250 articles in the pakistan constitution and not one is derived from Quran and sunnah (sources of islamic law).
- A quick look at article 2 is clear evidence for anyone that cares to read it. Islam is viewed not as a divine source of legislation but merely as “the state religion of Pakistan”
This is no different than Greece or Denmark who have Christianity as their state religion is anyone calling Greece Christian or a secular country? everyone knows it is secular.
4.Article 31 mentions the State acts as a facilitator for its citizens to to practice islam in their personal capacity if they wish" Proving state is secular in its view on religion.
These few examples of the hundreds show the secular constitution of pakistan as it is, debunking the hollow claims of certain secularists on this issue.
For people who cannot be bothered to look at the constitution to study its source of legislation they can simply observe pakistan and its behavior.
a. Pakistan has a interest based economy (islam forbids interest)
b. Pakistan has military co-operation with countries which at war with muslim nations i.e United States Government (which shariah law allows this? none)
c. Drones attacks ( need i say anymore)
etc
etc
But the final nail in his coffin from a well known american source (to show no bias) who acknowledge the nature of Pakistan constitution:
Islamic republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Pakistan was the first country to adopt the adjective “Islamic” to modify its republican status under its otherwise secular constitution.”
