Re: What is your argument against secularism?
Peace Jolie
What you desire can only be brought about through Shari’ah … it will sound oxymoronic to you, but it’s true. For moderation is what is required by law, but excellence is what is encouraged through the cultural values … People who say all these things are what secularism stands for then they are wrong … Secularism merely paves the premise of whatever other ideology to take root when religion is deposed.
So in Pakistan should religion be taken out of the equation then we will get a very nationalistic country that will result … The reason why they can’t understand in Pakistan that “secularism” means all those good things is because it doesn’t mean that really … it means what it sets out to do … separate religion from governance … and hence allows other ideologies to set in .. if after religion the people desired fairness, harmony and peace then the secularists would not have a problem with establishing a state on those values … but it appears that the hearts of the countrymen are not inclined towards these values so it does not matter whether religion or not is taking part in the governance of the country … it will in essence remain the same … or throw up other problems.
On another note:
For sure the countries that profess to democracy today know that it does not work and have in place sophistcated layers of governance that make it SEEM that democracy is working, but really rich oligarchs - the Capitalists are far more influential than any MP. If we want to resemble those in power and have respect then we need to create the illusion just as they have that they are the best. Dajjal will be a magician.
