As always, I had to sift through a lot of garbage to actually seek out the the valid replies…The valid replies were all by those that had an opinion on what I wrote and not on me…The subject here is not me, it is what I wrote…Many people, as always, not having the proper knowledge or way of putting up an argument resorted to calling me names and inulting me personally…I hold them no grudge…They did the only thing what they knew how to do…Insult someone because there was little else they could do…
Guys, if you don’t have an opinion about something, there is nothing wrong with it…I don’t have opinions about many things so I stay away from those things. It doesn’t mean I insult someone because he has one…If you didn’t like what I wrote, tell me in a way that I can understand your point of view…Explain to me your point of view as if you are explaining something to a 7 year old kid…Would you insult a 7 year old kid if he said something you didn’t like?..Disrespecting me only reasserts the fact that you have nothing to say but are saying for the heck of it, which is ignorance…
As for those who did reply to my post as opposed to me, I welcomed your responses, because it is truly you people who make a discussion board what it really is…
Even during the times of Jahiliyya when the people were practicing a barbaric and animalistic culture, part of their culture was that they buried their daughters, and there was a reason they did that…According to them, a daughter has to married off respectably and nobly according to their tribal and ritualistic customs…
Failure to do so would entail the girl remaining a spinster, and blackening the tribal or family name…The Arabs back then despite being as animalistic as they were, had this much sense of dignity and honour that they were willing to murder their own child for it…
In India during the times when the partition was going on, Muslim women of entire villages killed themselves to preserve their honour…It was acceptable for them to die rather than be violated by strange men, so high was their ideal of nobility…They preferred death before dishonour…And these are women we are talking about whose lofty ideals were far beyond the fear of death…Death encroaches on everybody, but these ladies chose death rather than face a life of infamy…
So when someone says that there is nothing wrong with the profession of prostitution and it’s as respectable as, say, being a seamstress or a cook, it really amazes me…
So if I were to ask those people that if their daughter or sister comes up to them and says, that can she be a prostitute, what will be their response? “Oh, it’s OK darling, just be home before dinner and make sure you use a condom…”
Will these same people who say that prostitution is a profession like any other be willing to accept it as a profession like any other were their mothers involved in it?
The problems with Muslims nowadays, and specially Pakis, is that they fear calling a spade a spade…For them, it has become easier to be assimilated into a culture or way of living rather than renouncing it as not part of them…
Part of being wise is recognising the wrong as wrong and the right as right…True, it is very difficult and hard to do at times, but the more a person is able to do that the more wise he becomes…Unless you have the conviction and understanding to recognize something whether right or wrong and call it as such, how can anyone sift the correct from the incorrect?
And what is correct? Correct is faith, and our faith is correct. Our faith is the balance, the fulcrum upon which we must base our lives, and the better we become at this balancing act, the more powerful and stronger we become…Until we learn to weigh and balance our actions, deeds and works upon this criteria we call faith, all our endeavours will be in vain, not only on earth but in the hereafter as well…
Basant, for whatever reason it may be celebrated, is neither part of my creed nor my culture…I weighed it in my balance based on whatever I have read and seen, and I found it to be a very useless, in fact destructive event…Not only religiously by ethically as well and I spoke out against it as all Muslims must and should if they find anything wrong with something…Too bad that most of the things we want to talk about now are wrong to begin with…
My wish is that this lame event be forever scrubbed from the already darkened and ridiculously banal everyday ‘cultural’ things which have plagued our society since our ancestors became Muslims…Wherever our faith steps in, our faith must have the last say over every other thing that preceded it…It is our duty as Muslims to see to that…That thing can be culture, family or tribal oriented, but it must be purged to make way for our faith…Islam demands it…
It demanded of me that what my family practiced for generations like going to mazaars and fatihas and this and that…I gave it all up…My family, specially my mother’s side has had a few ‘auliyas’ in it…Yet their practice and methods mean nothing to me now…
Remember, if you sacrifice something for the sake of Allah :swt:, He shall replace it with something of a much better consistency and quality…If today Pakistan wakes up and drops these frivolous and nonsensical ‘cultural’ things which divide us, we would be better off…
This was meant to be a satire and was meant to be read as one…If you don’t agree with somethings I wrote, you are more than welcome to refute it with your own opinions and I would love to read them…However if your intention is to become pissed and personal, I suggest you haul your butt and save me a lot of time by not having to sift through your inane, childish and idiotic insults…
Don’t be upset with what I wrote…It’s not as if I insulted your faith or anything…But judging from some of the replies I got, some you wouldn’t have cared if I had…
Too bad…If you cared for your faith as your cared for your culture, we would be a very united and powerful nation…

and waht culture is the prostitute endorsing? what did they contribute to pakistan? next to destroying families and morales? and if the kings use to send their kids to them to learn manners, it was their lack of common sense. How can they teach manners to lil kids, when they themselves lack modesty?
and again, if someone will explain what culture is this lady boasting about?
