Re: Shariat in Pakistan

Lets play make-believe.

If the option of instituting Shariah does get entertained by the present regime, tonight, what would your stances be on the following issues?

Should the Hudood Ordinance - the law that a rape victim must present 4 witnesses for her words to hold true in court - be kept? (I’m not sure if this was recently ammended, but this law is considered to be part of Shariat by many people in Pakistan).

What would be a woman’s dress code? Be specific. (i.e. Burqa, eyes showing/not showing, face showing/not showing, hijab, dupatta, etc).

What would the education system look like - who would get educated? What subjects would be taught and what subjects would be banned? Will girls get educated? What level of education would be mandatory?

What would be the treatment towards imams who say we should strap up bombs and do suicide bombings in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and Iraq?

Would art museums stay or go?

Would people be allowed to publish fiction literature?

What importance would the sciences get? (ex. medicine, engineering, basic sciences, research).

Would women be able to hold jobs?

How would the state handle the problem of orphans and widows - be specific.

What would happen to the poppy fields in NWFP?

Will the cinema houses stay or go?

How will the face of Pakistani television change?

Would Roxen be allowed to perform? (Roxen is a band)

Danke!

The answer to all your questions is first we need to educate ourselves to be morally upright and seek the welfare of other muslims in our country. Good developments and policies come with good character. Islamic policies will come with an Islamic character.
