Posted in Civil Rights, Democracy, Pakistan, People, Terrorism on October 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Past week has been really tough one for Pakistan. Multiple suicide attacks and most importantly some shoot out style attacks on the offical buildings. The vigor and effect of these attacks is very important to notice. These attacks show planning and effectiveness in execution of terrorists, it also shows weakness of our administration.
How in the [...]

No I don’t like this person’s ideas very much. Most of the time when he is on Tv. he says the things in the way that just irritates you, makes more darama and less sense.
But for some time this person has been trying to wake us out for the things we are loosing, things which [...]

Recently during one debate a religiously minded member of the group (not this one) referenced Quaid-e-Azam’s State bank speech for the basis of Islam for Pakistan. But that member is not alone in this. I have seen many secular minded people quoting Quaid-e-Azam’s speeches and his life to state that Pakistan should be secular. These arguments are [...]

Today I recieved an email on one of University Email groups in Pakistan. The emailer sent a attached email about the Fatwa regarding the working of the women; “Aurton Ki Mulazmat” it said. Yes that Fatwa was allowing them to work but only when there is no one to feed them. In just 4 to [...]

Can Man force woman to have the abortion? Or can man stop woman from having abortion?
Increasingly in this world sexual lives are becoming free from the boundaries of religion and are not being governed by the rules of the marriage. Except in the Religious world (mostly Muslim) the concepts of Family are changing are being [...]

Posted in Civil Rights, Democracy, Islam, Pakistan, People, Politics, tagged Religion, Shariah, Swat on February 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I think while discussing Swat we go off the track.
Question here again is not the Islam and Shariah, question is the path that is being followed to get it.
Should ends justify means?
Should we allow people to kill other people who dont want their format of Shariah (or any law) ?
Should government bow down to one [...]
