Re: Secular Pakistan
this is view is carried by the majority advocating secularism and most of time this view is because of little or no knowledge of how Islam have taught us to run a govt.
Islam do not discriminate against any religion nor so imposing a certain school’s jurisdiction is way out of islamic ruling, there are only few things Islam focuses and those few things are the key ingredients of most of the developed societies or i must are the foundation stone to have Islamic welfare state, few of those are as follows:
Justice for all, no body is above the law ( not even the governor or president), every is accountable to the Law. Islams says that a Kafir govt have right to survive over an unjust muslim govt. When a society is formed on justice, then there is little chances of discrimination and other evils which we have in Pakistan mainly because of non-existence or very expensive Justice system.
Wealth Distribution, Islam being a universal religions knows the importance of Economic activity in any society, therefore, there are few things Islam have taught to its followers, which should be the law: No to interest rates, yes it is very much possible, people who thinks that economy cannot survive without interest, please have look what major economies like UK and USA did during the financial crisis in order to limit damage and for recovery, yes the brought the interest rate to 0… once you have this done, the inflation can be controlled, the price hike and hike in commodities are manageable… all in all, Islamic Economy is not money centered but it is centered around the welfare of the being…
The post has already gone long, i can carry on, but would like to conclude this post by saying that, Islam is the first Secular Religion introduced to man-kind, which garantees peace for follower of any religion, yes the notion which west have realized now, was in practice in Islam for well-over thousand year…
Now some smart person may comeup saying that in today’s world due to certain differences between the muslims such govt can’t be formed…but i am sure none of them is going to tell me that which Islamic cult is against the justice, which is in favor of interest and which cult is against living in peace, as if there is any then it need to eliminated ( As Islam labels them FASADIES and order Jihad against them)
Islam itself is ideal, but only in an ideal world. Wht Khoji is saying and I agree with, is that even though you and the rest of us have a very similar idea of what an Islamic system should be, there is no easy way of implimenting it because there will always be those who will disagree and create havoc in trying to impliment their own system. For example, how would you deal with extremists like the Taliban?
The problem is not in Islam, the problem is in Muslims. The process of creating an ideal state is fraught with perils that could be avoided by not imposing or endorsing any one religion or interpretation.
