Believe me i even tried to but the way he speaks by pausing almost 3 minutes to say the next word just got to me.
Could be all the fat in his neck and head has resulted in permanent retardation or many of his supporters are so slow they need him to speak like that to follow along with anything he says.
i said people who disagree must tell why?
I disagree...
We have growing trade and military ties with China and other Muslim nations and the fact that the EU recently awarded Pakistan GSP+ status doesn't correlate with the idea of a country that is heading towards international isolation.
Pakistan simply needs to pursue its own interests.
When we were developing our nuclear deterrence capabilities Pakistan faced harsh sanctions from the US and Europe but we persevered. Should we have stopped pursuing our own interests then because of a fear of "international isolation"?
the solution he has is the liberal progressive pakistan and not religiously motivated extremist pakistan
as he said, we are today confused about what path to choose, we should either choose the liberal progressive path or we should choose the religious fataic path
There is no confusion considering the large majority want a country whose culture and legal system correspond to the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah.
Altaf complains about "religious extremism" (when being an extreme Muslim would make you a better human being in general) but the MQM is cited for being involved in a host of crimes including openly threatening political opponents, extortion, murder, etc... much the same as the ANP, PPP, etc... so I don't understand what right they feel they have to comment on this issue when they're a large part of the problem.
Secularism in countries like France has resulted in governments that are increasingly restricting civil liberties particularly the right of individuals to practice their faith so how is this progressive?
I routinely come across liberals who lie about Pakistan's history/ancestry, the "benefits" of democracy, the actions of the military, civilian economic projects, etc... without any corroborating evidence to support their views and appear to routinely parrot propaganda coming out of countries openly hostile to us and in some cases going as far as cooperating with them to undermine our country (ex. Haqqani). An example of what I mean would be the issue of Kalabagh dam which the MQM opposes even though dams can more than double the water we can use for farming alleviating both inflation at home and generating foreign exchange from the production/export of increased agricultural output but also generates electricity for industry that grows our economy and brings people out of poverty by citing outright lies a bout the project or refusing to even discuss the matter.
Liberalism is regressive and Pakistan needs a return to military rule with the institutionalization of Islam which would grant people permanent rights not subject to the public's whims, eliminate crime and uplift the country both socially and economically.
