Re: What’s YOUR problem with Islam/Islamic laws/Political Islam?

Quite frankly as a personal opinion - I do not live in Pakistan, but:
a) I believe history has it wrong - Pakistan was established in the Name of Islam but not as an Islamic state, it was a Muslim state with a Democratic framework. The blasphemy law in principle is designed to protect people, but it used to attack people instead.
b) The Shari’ah needs to be implemented correctly in total it cannot co-exist with other frameworks or there will be injustices. Pakistan was made with and maintained with a view to veneer the most critical aspects of Shari’ah over the Pakistani democratic framework.
c) I believe the political institutions are the cause for powermongery in Pakistan, as a result Islam is used to steer masses of people al for the benefit of the few who rule. This starts off at college/university level as these have been infiltrated and the happening at the universities needs no explanation. These are the same people who grow to become our leaders and even religious representatives.
d) A dream … It won’t evolve in that direction … it will have to revolutionise in that direction … currently zealous behaviour may seem to some as Islamisation but it is quite the reverse. We have a knack for jumping from one extreme to the other artfully missing the middle path.
