**I’m sure there is but nowhere near as widespread as it is in the developing countries.

It isn’t as wide spread, but it exists nonetheless. If something is hidden doesn’t mean that it does not exist.

This is all greek to me.

Whether or not I believe in the Quran has nothing to do with my opinion that shariah law was most suited in the olden days, not any more. We don’t need eye witnesses to convict rapists these days when we have DNA technology and hundreds of other scientific tools at our disposal.

So coming back to the topic of elections, although I wouldn’t have voted for PMLN, I do applaud Shahbaz Sharif for creating the Punjab forensic Science Agency. There’s no mention of forensic science in the Quran but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t the best tool today to increase the conviction rates. And that’s really what you want - to increase conviction rates, to make criminals pay, to deter the public from crime/corruption/bribery etc and you can certainly do that through strict law enforcement. I remember in 2011 they introduced tougher sentences (min 14 years jail + Rs 1 million fine) in Pakistan for those found guilty of acid attacks and apparently the conviction rate has tripled since the amendment. So if only our “pulas” got their act together, things would be so much better. If the police are corrupt, the government is incompetent and perhaps the public is to blame too for not doing anything about it.

Quran doesn’t mention anything about a car or motorcycle or a television doesn’t mean those things don’t exist. Quran asks mankind to strive for knowledge and knowledge is what sets man apart from the animals. Rape cases in Pakistan have increased since the past 10 years. You don’t think there is forensic or DNA technology in Pakistan? And if there were don’t you think that could be tinkered? If you have money then you have power to alter any DNA or any Party election results. The proof is in front of you with the elections. We cannot rely on science alone to fix our problems we need a religious/moral authority to oversee our progress. Who’s to say if you’re right or if I am wrong? Only God should be able to decided whats right or wrong. According to some abortion is wrong. While some do it like its a walk on the beach. Then you’ll say “People will decided…” well people are the most susceptible to coercion than monkeys being bribed by bananas.
