crap article fit for a third rate website. the only people who have the ability to stop the scumbag mullahs in mma are a part of the government.



Supporters of the Muthidda Quami Movement (MQM), a pro-Musharraf ally in the government, protest in Karachi August 24, 2006, against the behaviour of Islamist legislators in the country`s lower house who have torn off the copies of a bill seeking amendments in a controversial Islamic law. The MQM supporters say that since the wording of the bill contains the name of Allah and the Prophet Mohammad, the religious clerics have indulged in a blasphemous act and should be punished.

here is the text of the bill:

NHK,

You are right when you say it is time to confront them and tell them they are wrong.

I just want to point out ... for the record .... on this website and in real life in Lahore, the only person who has spoken consistently against the Mullahs and the Hudood Ordinances and written article after article against them and their mode of thinking on this website is MOI. All of you have to do is see the Mullah series I wrote on this website.

Everyone else has been too caught up in proving themselves liberal and progressive to actually do so... To want to be rid of this crime and injustice one has to have a sense of ownership with the country... that ownership is lacking amongst those who would want more examples of things going wrong for their own self aggrandizement.

A well reasoned and timely analysis just according to current plight of pakistan, its awam and their needs and wants. you have reminded the narration of a zalim badshah by khalil jibran where the state was governed by thousands of rules punishing the poor people and still it had no justice.
You have very truly spoken for the sake of ummah the language they know and what should be taught to them.
The cool side of `shariah` is exposed and for the first time I liked ``Omer Bin Khattab`` being quoted though he was too a desperate, obessed `amir-ul-momineen`.

Great views and keep writing and make people realize the ones who should.

the solution is to expose the mullahs............do some sting operations............video them having it with their favourite whores and kids............video them taking bribes for passing a fatwa and misusing the funds.............expose them thoroughly showing the mullah`s corrupt practices before the en tire world..........stop protecting them and justifying their actions.............expose them for taking gullible muslims for a ride in their self assigned role as the arbitrator between individuals in matters pertainingto family and Islam..........expose them of their self assigned role of being the protectors of Islam or the sole authority which can ``correctly`` interpret the constitutional basis of Pakistan................

Do you have the guts???

Obviously, you are right. But you are far too polite.

Sharia is nothing more than the history of the Abbasid Arabs. How can you make history as your Regulations?

And how come `Quran`, supposed to be an all all-encompassing book, missed out on `Rape`; and it had to put into the `Penal Code`.

Hassan Nasir, a liberal scholar, who took part in the TV debates; and made some logical sense has been attacked and is in serious condition in hospital. The fundos attacked him.

So be upfront with no compromise with Mulla at all - HE IS COMPLETELY WRONG - AND TELL HIM SO. No need to get into any meaningless arguement where he will throw Arabic at you!

Arjun and Hamidm2 speak that language very well. So does Saleem Chauhan.

best of luck

A well written article.

The bottomline which needs to be emphasised is that this law was not made through debate in Pakistan`s central legislature... it was made by a military dictator who was the antithesis of Pakistan`s constitution.

Any legislation, for whatever reason, has to follow a certain course ...

The Mullah virus is to Pakistan what the Aids is to the individual.

Well said.

The Islamic parties and their drones can`t admit they`re wrong...they`re the true Mumins, after all.
