Waiting for Enlightenment
Posted by murtazasikander Aug 1, 2006 01:19 pm
hmmmm well about people who think that ``islam`` is the root of pakistan`s numerous problems:
yaar to be honest although i know the kalima and how to pray but beyond that i dont know any thing about this bird called islam. so i make it a point not to give my uneducated commens about any matter that involves islam .... coz the thing is that before this muslim dark age there was a golden age too during which a lot of very learned, progressive and intelligent men have written tons and tons of material on islam of which i know zero. so i think that it will be disrespect to them on my part if i try to make snobbish comments about what i know nothing. so i think that people of my knowledge level who have commented positively or negatively on islam and pakistan, should refrain from it cause thats the only way to show that one is atleast rational if not educated.

abt ``islamists`` and paksitan:
well i think that all those ppl with my level of knowlege about islam, who are trying to use religion in the name of politics are a very big problem.


abt mr hoodhbhoy and his analysis:
yaar mr pervez why dont you concentrate on physics and get us a nobel prize or somethin.
