Sir, if you read my post again (copied below), their belief is mentioned in law. My point was don't blame the ignorant masses, take it up with GoP.
Why blame Muslims here when their disbelief is mentioned in the Constitution? I heard you have to declare the finality of Prophet hood in applying for a passport.
I suggest you take it up with the GoP before you blame the masses. She has done really well for herself and I'm happy for her.
On off-topic matter and this is not just directed at Irfan; this is exactly what many people have experienced on PDF. It is annoying when a person posts something different and the respondent answers what he want the post to be.
An example of this post is clear to see here. I mentioned discrimination of qaddiyanis under the constituition. Blaming the ignorant masses does not wash. This matter needs to taken up with the GoP for a change in law.
So Irfan talking about fanaticism, harassing, cursing, etc is the symptom of the law.
Your right there. The driver for this hate is the law and only GOP can only address that. The problem we have in Pakistan is real "
democracy" or
"too much democracy". That may sound strange because most people will consider Western countries as models of democracy. Not quite. The answer is more nuanced then that. Let me explain.
I live in UK. If tomorrow a referandum or vote was held and the the question put to the public was. Throw all Pakistan/Muslim orgin people out of UK the
ayes would win and
nays would lose. There is a very strong undercurrent in UK that is sick of Muslims and in particular Pakistani people. They want them kicked out of UK.
In the same way if a vote was held tomorow to ban homosexuality the
ayes would win and
nays would lose. Again underneath the public face most Britons at heart are not happy with Gays being given right to get married etc.
So if
real democracy was practiced in UK all Muslims and Gays would be in trouble. However in UK real democracy is not about counting number of heads on any issue. There is a active political class in UK composed of intellectuels, the middle class that effectively dominates all political parties. This
ruling class that dominates UK politics believes in cetain principles that might be termed "politically correct" or PC.
It is they who make sure that the ugly thoughts that ripple among the mass of UK people are assuaged and controlled. This is done by media, the law and social pressure. The result is most of the population despite not being happy accept the views of the
political class.
This is done like I said by using media, social pressure, law and economics. The ruling class makes sure the average Briton has food, car, house, holiday, drink and get to watch football. In other words the average person is get happy.
However there are always few on the fringe who don't let money, drink, holidays mask their feelings. These people end up forming fringe parties like BNP or EDL. In very rare cases some go on to use voilence to advocate their views.
An extreme fringe of this mentality is representated by people like Davide Copeland who wanted to kill
Pakistani, Indians, Muslims, Blacks and homosexuel people.
David Copeland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Copeland was extremists but trust me millions of millions of English people hold similar but latent views. If a Nazi leader took over UK they would all marching and saluting him. However this brings me back to my original point. THe ruling class have certain outlook. Call it Western liberalism. They may have certain differanes that is why they have differant political parties however Western liberalism has certain sharied beliefs. On that they are all united.
Since this group dominates the media, political parties and business they effectively suppress all the latent racist or anti gay feelings. If any political or public figure makes any comments that go against the views of this group watch how the entire politicasl class will gang up and will use media and even economic pressure to destroy that person.
Some years back English football manager made a comment that "disabled people were born that way because of wrongs they had done in their past life". There was such a outcry from media and even PM got involved. He lost his jo and was forced to apologize to the dsabled people. This is what you get when you have a ruling class that dominates everything and shoves it's beliefs down the throat of most English people.
So democracy does not mean they get what they want. No, Sir. Instead it is like going to McDonalads. You can have any food you want as long as it is from the menu. Big Mac, Fish o'Fillet or Veg Burgher. You can't order "Karahi Ghosht".
In Pakistan we have "
gutter politics". If this was practiced in England the fastest way of winning votes would be to say "kick Muslims out" and watch how many votes you would get although in UK the entire political class would turn against you. In Pakistan you can get plenty of votes by playing with people's base instincts like rallying them against Ahmedi or Christians. The result is what you see in Pakistan.
I would argue we have
too much democracy in Pakistan.
Ps. Another central belief with the Western liberals is they have become strongly pro Jews. The fastest way you want to kill your political career is make some derogatory comment about Jews and you will be finished. Go ask ex Labour MP George Golloway that.
