Re: What should Pakistani laws be based on?
Also, I would like to add that your misrepresentation of my credibility by attacking my origins as foreign, owing to either my arab descent or canadian citizenship, is largely asinine. Largely. Jinnah, choudhary rahmat ali etc. were all pakistani leaders who wanted a nation formed around islam but were from the united kingdom. One of them couldn't speak urdu properly and the other wanted a union with other PAK states such as afghanistan and iran. To deny the fact that most of our founding fathers were educated in england, and then disparage me on my current residence is becoming of a scoundrel and I kindly ask you to stop.
It would be nice if you continue your argument for secular jinnah or concede the point that jinnah was a fine islamist(oooh bad).
I leave you with this quote from choudhary rahmat ali.

"Our greatest asset and opportunity is our Faith, which has created what we possess; it has made us what we are. That is, the emancipators of hundreds of millions of human beings. Islam has worked miracles for us in the past, and it can and will do the same for us now and always, if only we let it do so.
Such is the promise of Islam. Yet such is our perversion that we are simply not following Islam. We are ignoring it in every sphere of life - individual, national, moral and material. Not only that, we are turning to alien, Western' cults instead. That is, to cults that have already poisoned the source of our life, undermined the basis of our beliefs, and weakened the bonds uniting our Fraternity; and that means to detach us from Islam and attach us toWesternism' and thereby finish Islam which, owing to its values and verities, is their most serious rival for the allegiance of mankind.
It is clear that our neglect of Islam for other cults is a form of apostasy. Indeed it is an act of enmity against Islam. For remember, nothing so degrades and destroys a religion as its neglect by its own followers. It is just that neglect which has killed most of the old creeds and faiths of mankind. That is how by our failure to follow Islam we are acting as its enemies and frustrating its whole mission in the world.
It is imperative therefore, that, if we want to live as Muslims, save our heritage, reunite with our Pak brethren in Afghanistan, Central Asia and Iran, and see Islam flourish in the world, we must change. We must shun alien cults; we must revert to Islam. In other words, we must follow its code in thought, in word, and in action."

Stop revising history with your romantic ideas of man-made secularism and accept pakistan for what it is. A muslim nation, created out of the blood of millions, against brahmin tyranny, for muslims to live and die as muslims under muslim institutions.
