Re: What is Pakistan and Pakistani?
Pakistan has the POTENTIAL for greatness. As Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah said in Lahore while visiting Badshahi Masjid, Pakistan may hold the key for the liberation of the entire Muslim. I foirmly believe this. Pakistan and the Muslims of Indiahave been responsible, in a major part, for the resurgence of Islam and the revolutionary Islamic thought we see today. Maulana Maududi is a giant among all the scholars that have ever lived, and he directly influenced such prominient leaders such as Hassan al Banna and Sayyid Qutb.
Pakistan's moral degeneracy and lack of progress is the firect result of the lack of islamic consciousness among the people. Until the peopel of Pakistan embrace Islam with their hearts and mind, Pakistan will be the prey of all its neighbors and of foreign governments such as the US and the UK. Unless khalifah is established in Pakistan, it will never prosper as a society. The manority ofpeople in Pakistan are religious and support Khalifah, but thsoe in power dislike Islam and whcih to limit Islamic resurgence in Pakistan. Pakistan will be one of the centers of Islamic renaissance in the coming years.
