Post-election hangover?

See your problem is you’ve been brain washed by the so called “Liberal” media to think that anything that has to do with religion or the Quran is going to be strict and hardcore and that Religion/Quran = fascist regimes and that liberalization and free thinking is the way to go. Well Quran or Religion does not stop free thinking it promotes it. Our Quran goes as far as to question everything and seek the truth. But then again your response regarding a “Maulana or fatwas” suggests that you equate religion to negativity. Well no maulana has to rule Pakistan. **Why can’t young Muslims take up the best form of government they have in their holy book and run their lives according the Quran/Prophet. No one has to grow their beard or pull their jeans up to their ankles. **You shouldn’t equate Quran with intolerance.

The bolded part alone is an oxymoron. Your opinion is that we can govern ourselves according to Quran/Prophet but that we don’t have to grow beard or pull up our jeans to our ankles (both of the acts - accordingly to the school of thought majority of Pakistanis follow - are made obligatory). So now because we hypothetically differ strongly on this one example alone, how will the ‘strict religious authority’ dictating Pakistan resolve this and somehow appeal to all schools of thought practiced in Pakistan?

Point is, your version of Islam may/may not be your neighbour’s view which makes it impossible for a country like Pakistan to have one strict religious authority as the ruling party.
