In West, a man wouldn't even buy his girlfriend an ice cream: JI chief

PESHAWAR: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq claimed on Sunday that Western ideals and culture were so materialistic that a man there would not even spend money to buy his girlfriend an ice cream.

“We don’t want the promotion of a culture in Pakistan where a couple won’t even spend Rs5 on each other for an ice cream,” he said at a clerics’ conference at Tehmash Khan Stadium in Peshawar.

The JI chief made the claim while narrating the story of a young American couple he had heard from another party leader.

Haq said the party leader, who had told him the story, on a recent trip to the US had seen the couple separately paying for their ice creams.

The JI chief also bashed the Western culture for its individual freedom and liberty.

Comparing societies, Haq said people in Western countries left their parents at old homes and met them only once a year but in Pakistan they lived as joint families.

Talking about Pakistan’s banking system, the JI leader said interests should be abolished.

“The country’s leadership isn’t serious about bringing an end to the interest system but our party will continue striving for its elimination” he added.

Criticising Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for referring to ‘Bhagwan’ as God, Haq said it was “ideological terrorism” and the premiere’s remarks were meant to appease the West.

I think His problem is his wife kicked him out of the house that's why he is saying something ridiculous.

He has alot of spare time to criticise everything and everyone in the world particularly the leaders.he should take a timeout and reconsider his aims throughly.

Can't stand someone disagreeing with their myopic agenda. Especially women, God forbid they ever become able to pay for their ice cream, it would spell the end of our society as we know it.
Aaj ice cream kay paise day gi, kal equality mangay gi, scandalous!

He is right though. There are even couples in the west in which husbands sits in the home raising kids like a zanana while wife earns outside. Chivalry is gone and this ghul ghupara is usual occurrence there

He won't pay for ice cream, but he'll pay for beer and other drinks in bars to get her drunk and easy..

Muhammad Abduh said "I went to the West and saw Islam, but no Muslims; I got back to the East and saw Muslims, but not Islam".

In Scandinavia there is present a remarkable welfare system that ensures every human being lives with dignity and where even a person on a wheelchair is given as much importance as an able bodied individual. For me this is much more Islamic than say a country like Pakistan where sure millions of people may pray 5 times a day every day, but they do this whilst tens if not hundreds of thousands of kids are out on the street begging for money, rishwat is rampant, nepotism the norm, and people are dieing of famine in Thar year after year but the rest of the country moves on like nothing has happened.

Agree with you, i feel so much safer in Australia than in Pakistan, where my life and my property is not safe.
There is a saying of the prophet " A person is not a Momin, from whos hands and tongue another person is not safe" Unfortunately Pakistanis might be muslims but they are not momins.
