I personally think most of the mis understanding around islam originates from mixing rules of state with rules of personal religion....
Example
Universal law and order, crime and justice is state matter.... no body is above the law and justice must be delivered swiftly...regardless of the religion or nationality of aggrieved....
On the other hand state has no buissness in how many people are praying and how? This is a personal matter.....
Now just imagine if we can implement a just and non corrupt justice system in which no one is above the law in todays pakistan....90% of our problems will disappear....
This is the fundamental principle of islamic state not should women drive or not.....
If u have the misfortune of passing through the current legal system of pakistan...u will know what i mean....its practically non existant ....especially if you have money to thrash around....
Problem is our mullahs have no sense of this separation and all their emphasis is on ibadat....which has nothing to do with state....
