Re: What should Pakistani laws be based on?

But the point is not Mullah vs. non-Mullah. The point is that Jinnah did not like Mullahs and their religion-exploiting politics.
So anyone now trying to twist Jinnah's words to make them suitable for Mullahtic purposes is either too naive or thinks most of the people are naive.

Did you read the article by Abid Ullah Jan on the first page titled "Musharraf won't depart without putting a final nail in Pakistan's coffin"? This is exactly what hes writing about. Jinnah brought religion into politics, and thankfully caused partition of india along religous lines. He spoke of creating a nation based on islamic values, laws and customs and rightfully did so against all sorts of devious hindoo oppression. Now we have the moderately enlightened crowd saying that anyone who brings religion into politics is an exploitative politican and should be stopped, which is the zionist/crusader agenda. If this would have taken place 60 years ago jinnah would have been labeled an islamist(oooh bad people) by the moderately enlightened crowd just as osama and others are today. All your rhetoric about mullahs is largely baseless as the majority of pakistans constituency is made of people who don't want a secular country like the crusaders are trying to push on us, but a pious islamic utopia.
