DAWN.COM LAHORE: Two days before his party marches on Islamabad for electoral reforms in Pakistan,Tahirul Qadri, chief of the Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ), has called for the Election Commission of Pakistan to be dissolved and a new “impartial commission” to be formed. Speaking at...

A lot is now being revealed. The truth is coming out in a stark yet very beautiful fashion. This may be shocking to many. But for some of us, it was expected. Traditional mullahs like Golra Pir, Fazlur Rahman, Sami ul Haq, and associated allies of PMLN and the like are now extremely scared of...

Malik Riaz was brought in as the ultimate "master pimp" in order to "cut Qadri down to size". Basically, the government wanted to show the people that Qadri is just a wheeler dealer like them...in other words, a clever attempt at character assassination. However, Qadri rightly sensed this, and...

A lot can be inferred from watching those that are refusing to join Tahir ul Qadri. First MQM, which needs no introduction. Then, Golra Pir was a real surprise...he basically said in a live interview with Shahzeb Khanzada that Golra has refused to join TuQ because not a single Sunni cleric or...

Tahir ul Qadri presented his Charter of Demands today, but very little exposure is being given to it in the media. I think there needs to be more discussion around his demands and his vision. He presented about six points, some of which were concerned with legal technicalities. The first point...

jetti, I really appreciate your goodwill. But the reality is that one of Jinnah's demands was that in the Central Legislature, Muslim representation shall not be less than one third. Congress refused. So Muslims being 30% of a united India would seldom have benefitted them. The Hindu...

I'm creating this thread to discuss and propose solutions for permanently solving Pakistan's economic problems. In the 1960s, countries like South Korea used to study Pakistan's economic and industrial progress to model their own industries after. But today, Pakistan's economy lies in tatters...

It is no doubt that Iqbal and Jinnah both hated the Mullahs. One of the reasons was that Mullahs want to preach, but not to practice. Mullahs will be very happy with you if you want to pray 5 times a day, to fast and do Hajj, and perhaps pay a nominal "Zakat" that will end up God knows where...

For those who like simple things, here's a nice little list (by no means exhaustive) to illuminate your minds: Differences between the Mullah, and the Lover of Muhammad: Mullah likes elitism Lover of Muhammad likes egalitarianism Mullah likes accumulation of wealth Lover of Muhammad likes...

Indeed, Lone Wolf, the knowledge of Muhammad is vital to one's life and success. And this is no exaggeration, but the simple elaboration of the reality of our failure, our dismal failure today as a nation. I say this again: this is no exaggeration! Today in Pakistan, the Azan will be blaring...

This very complex, yet very very important issue, can be explained through different perspectives. However, one of the simplest ways to understand it, is as follows: The love of Muhammad. It was a case of Muhammad vs the Mullah. Jinnah understood the reality of Muhammad, as did Iqbal before...

Muhammad Ali Jinnah's grandfather was a Hindu, as were his ancestors. Jinnah's father was a Ismaili, while Jinnah himself became a Shia Muslim. The name Jinnah did not exist in the family previously. (The circumstances of Jinnah's father becoming a Muslim are very intriguing, but that is a...

I am no newbie, i am an older lurker than the seniors on this forum :)

When the people of Pakistan understand the reality of the fiber of their being, they will work harder towards making things right. Pakistan today is caught in some of the worst problems in the world. But the magnitude of those problems is directly proportional to the greatness and the potential...

We have moved on, it is inevitable. But a nation which does not understand its history, cannot have a future. It is important for Pakistanis to know their foundations, the reality spanning centuries, of which they are a result. The event in 1947 was a culmination of an undercurrent that was...

The creation of Pakistan was the most beautiful event that happened in centuries. But why did the mullah's oppose it? To top it off, these are the same mullahs who are running around exploding themselves in the cities of Pakistan. The question is, why? Are these mullah's...

most apt for today's situation is this couplet which I would like to share. aataa hai jo toofaan aane do, kashti ka khuda khud hafez hai mushkil to nahin in maujon main behta hua sahil aa jaye
