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

Salaam.
I came across this forum and thought it would be interesting to catch a glimpse of the predominant attitudes and thoughts of the average Pakistani today…and surprise surprise! It’s vastly different from most of the expats and traditional Pakis I have the fortune of being acquainted with, particularly on the topic of RELIGION and POLITICSS. Since the whole blasphemy schbang is still a popular topic, I thought I’d strike while the irons hot.

So, I’m curious.

What insecurities or problems do you have with:

a) Pakistan being established historically as an Islamic State (Quaid’s vision, and all that)
b) Shariah Law (including Blasphemy Law)
c) Islamic Political Intsitutions
d) Thought of Pakistan evolving into an omni-Islamic State: de facto, de jure.

Honesty, critiques and debates are welcome. Please remember to be nice though

Only if they are not abused and have no impact on minorities.. And the law (blasphemy laws) regardless of sharia or not is/are equally applied to other faiths. In Pak its OK to go after an Ahmedi with RPG but a Christian gets the rope for speaking his/her mind. Not good and not fair!!!
