Re: Why do US officials say such things in Pakistan?
Disagree, "sharia" doesn't stop us from any "industrial", "economic" activity, its us, our limitations, our interests, our greed. Look at most so called "Islamic" countries, tell me a single country where "sharia" is enforced? naam-nihaad sharia enforcers like Saudis don't count a bit. Almost all "Muslim" countries are ruled by "puppets" or "dictators" whose only interest is in their own economy/rule... so lets spare sharia from the blame.
In that case maybe sharia is just not enforceable or compatible with the modern world. So, let us give it a rest and work with what we have, and forget about Utopian sharia.
