Thoughts on Religious frenzy in Pakistan...

Tragedies are part of humanity, and this is all result of LEGAL FECUNDITY in our cultural milieu. It has deep roots. MQM' s stance shows that how polarized our society ahs become. We need to brideg this gulf, otherwise it is sundering us aprt. Middle path is the best path, extremes are not solution.

acts always need to be seen as they are , life is not as simple as it seems to be. Debate always should be open and if you show such rigidity then what is difference between those and who profess progressive streaks? There is always room for improvement.

I remember Nizamud Din Auleya , if some one places thorns in your path and you also do same .. then there will be thorns every where in the world.Hazrat Ali RA said patience is the horse which never gets stumbled.Passions are not always the right solution.
It did not happen in one day and if THIS is the chance for peace then why not give it a chance?


HAs USA been successful in Iraq? Afghanistan? Was she successful in Vietnam? Let peace have a chance. People of Swat have right to peace as much as people in Washington, Bonn , London have right to peace. If USA can talk to Iran, and if it comes from USA in Afghanistan to talk peace with Taliban.... then it is ok. But if the same formulae is applied in pakistan. then how it can becomes darkest day?

Democracy is right of majority, although it is not always right. Let democracy carve its own path.
Guns are the enemy of humanity whether they are of talibans, Army, USA or any other else. Rome was not built in a day, and this polarization of decades can not be done away with power or brute power. How many wars have brought peace?

Imprisonment is also a way of dealing with disorders, if they fail to deliver ( although it is done under coercion) then it will die in the mountains .

Why a gun is sacred and other devil's? Guns can never be roses. Drawing lines is easy, seeing behind lines is not that easy.

We can take a horse to pond of water but can not force him to drink!
ANP has demanded this. After reading the text in depth and I am remembering that in year 1999-2000 in Peshawer Provincial Services Academy (PSA). I raised objections to this Regulation system to the person who drafted this Mr. Saleeem Khan Secretary Law in NWFP Government and I still oppose it at intellectual and conceptual level ...it can not solve the issues of people as it lacks the spirit of Islam.

But the sad reality is that people with guns have made this an issue and till this fang of slogan of religion is not taken out of their hands there can not be any peace.

This is peculiar to the area as FCR failed to adjust with the social set up of modern times in Swat and adjoining areas. It will be another law ... but if it brings peace then its faults are welcome.

Legalization in the area is a way to peace. As to hype that such things can happen in other areas...yes it is a threat in certain areas. But it is overly exaggerated to say that this narrow minded interpretation can triumph over whole of pakistan. Not at all, Pakistan is a diverse country, and its ethos are of peace and peaceful existence at dominant level. Unfortunately religion has overtaken normal debate in our country as we never thought with mind and now it has become monster. This monster of jihalalt can not be done away with killings. Simply can not be . Technology fights technology, this fight can not be fought with tools which people can not understand and correlate with.They exploit terms of Islam and interpret it as per their own ideas, but how far we have employed its real interpretation to negate their ideas? We have not done it simply , this is a real test of intellectual leadership of society. Power can never hold for longer. Nights can be long and long, but there is always DAWN.We need to take away their weapons of steel and fire and of hatred in the form of ideas. Till we deal with them holistically, they can not be defeated , this is truth sooner we learn better.

TRUTH can be overshadowed but can not be done away.

اداسی

 اداسی اور بے بسی بے عملی اور کٹھور پن.
