What evidence do you offer for your assertion of Pakistan being a 'Semi Secular' state, please help me understand.
there is no Khilafat in country.. Pakistan is bound to UN charter and cannot ask for jizia etc from non Muslims but at the same time there are clauses that every Muslim in the country must be taught Arabic in school, in our constitution, blasphemy laws are there, at key post no non Muslim can come, Ahmadis have been declared non-Muslims by state.. this makes Pakistan hanging between Islamic laws and secular laws.. you may call it semi secular..
I refuse to accept your idea because i wholeheartedly subscribe to Iqbal's ideas on this debate.
------------------------------------------
these are you own views to subscribe to Iqbal's views.. I respect that.. but let me tell you one thing.. Iqbal was very much in favor of English rule.. even his address at Allahbad mentions separate state under English rule..
Allahabad Address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
read that Islam is not a church and Within or without British Empire.
Further I don't think you have happened to read Iqbal's Marsya on the death of Queen?
Which Pakistani citizen does not have Equal rights?
every non-Muslim has no equal rights to his/ her Muslim fellows.. just one example Hindus in Pakistan have no marriage act in place and pir bharchundi shah type morons are fond of converting hindu women into Muslims .. but after conversion she always becomes wife of some pure momin.. not daughter or sister..
If a country is a 97% Muslim country, why is it wrong to have such a provision, moreover how would it help Pakistan become a better state if we were to have a Hindu, Christian or a Sikh President? - How would it help our economy, social structure and else?
Since the population is 97% Muslims why are Muslims afraid of removing this clause? It is democracy and by any mean Muslim shall be elected on a key post.. isn't it? (& you asked about equal rights above?? lol)
How are kids discriminated in Pakistan upon birth, please explain.
???
Dreams are not enough, in order to become the PM or President you need to be able to attract votes. You are not talking about equality in regards to minorities, which i refuse to accept because the idea of equality is bogus. We can create an egalitarian/pluralist state and that should be our aim not appeasing minorities. If we were to have a Christian PM today, would that solve all of the issues, the Christians have? - Exactly how Obama has solved all of the problems Blacks have in America and Manmohan has solved all of the problems Sikhs have in India? - What sort of bogus logic are you presenting here?
problem solving is a socio-economic issue which is related to corruption, soiety values, WTO, IMF etc etc.. why are thinking that it is related to religion only??
They are free to call themselves whatever they want and we are free to refuse to accept them as one of us. Both parties are free, the bigger party wins and runs the state according to its wishes, isn't that called democracy [Majority opinion wins] ? - Whats wrong with that?
Peace.
yea you are right might is right.. but it is not good for a social structure of society..
