Those I think are rather stupid definitions of Liberal and Conservative (maybe they are the correct definitions, I don't know).

I don't believe women should be housewives, they should be as free to follow their choices in life as everyone else. Thats what is going to take Pakistan forward.

I am all up for freedom of religion, everybody should be absolutely free to believe (or not believe) in whatever they want and practice their faith. That does not mean I want Pakistan to be a secular country. Allah is sovereign, not the people as in Western democracies. (Democracy by the way is NOT un-Islamic).

I do NOT consider Western culture as an acceptable form of life in Pakistan. Liberals are not kaafir, they just have a different opinion which doesn't fit in the broader picture of Pakistani society.

I don't have liberal views on clothing and lifestyle and sure, I know you don't mean bikinis. Nowhere in the world, women wear bikinis when going about their daily lives.

Apparently, if you are OK to follow the Western culture blindly, that makes you liberal and somehow more acceptable than if you weren't OK with it. Similarly, conservative has somehow become to be defined as sympathiser of Taliban or their retarded view of religion.

I am NONE of that. We have our own Pakistani identity, which is neither the above mentioned Liberal nor conservative.

Am I a Muslim first or a Pakistani? well, that depends on who is asking and whats the occasion. If an Israeli is asking I am Muslim first. If an Indian Muslim is asking, I am Pakistani first.
 
By your definition definitely a liberal. But in the real world, liberals are known to transgress certain boundaries which I would never dare. I'd rather not associate myself with either, to be honest. No such thing as a centrist? Maybe a conservative-liberal?
 
You are confusing extremist with conservative. I am conservative in certain things and liberal in others so i am in the middle as i dont blindly accept everything in the name of liberalism and i dont blindly oppose change either
 
this whole European right/left thing gets a bit muddy when you apply it to a place like India but I'm socially ultra liberal, policy wise conservative/nationalist (- the hate for others)

pragmatism ftw
