Re: Remove Hate or Pakistan Will Disintegrate
Pakistan for all realistic reasons is a multi religious society. Different sects which exist between different kinds of muslims have a lot of different interpretations even to basic level. They just share a common muslim name with common scripture which is interpreted in totally different ways. To call them one religion is totally delusional. The ultimate solution is to separate state from the religion totally.. with state working towards the idea of co existence.. instead of imposing one interpretation of religion on entire population.
State must clearly distinguish between crimes and sins, and concerned only with handling crimes. State should not be concerned about the religion of the people. Parties which have declared religious agendas which can create religious apartheid should not b allowed to contest elections. Moreover the ECP should ensure that a party in which members of other religious groups do not become office bearers should be totally banned from national politics. For example in a party like Jamat Islami-JUI.. an Ahmadi or Shia can not become the head of the party. This kind of religious apartheid should not be allowed.
Unless we make these structural changes in our electoral process.. this declared policy of trying to create religious apartheid in the country will not come to an end. In my opinion there should be no declared religious minority in the country. In place separate electoral quota for minorities in the parliament.. every party should be audited to give representation to every religious group in the country.
