Re: Why does Pakistan exploit Islam?
Sharia itself is a concept that needs to be investigated… Islamic law and Islam has to be moulded to fit the times we live in, otherwise it will continue to be abused… Policy these days is dictated not by morals or ethics but by national intrest, so its not just Pakistan that does this. Most other countries that involve religion in politics face the same problem, they drag the religoin through the mud along with the politics. Islam gets caught in the middle because Pakistan insists on having a state relgion. Remove Islam from govt and you wont have this problem. Lets make practical laws, we dont need Islam to tell us that adultery and alcohoism is bad, that should be obvious..
