Jinnah and the Islamic State – Setting the Record Straight
I believe that this state of affairs can be traced to the confusions that lie in the concepts of a secular or a religious state. If for example a secular state is adopted then there is a clash regarding what is right and what is wrong. Even in a secular state should divine laws be used as the source for moral authority or should we make laws based on our own reasoning. For a muslim defending a secular state this represents a clash of values and hence we see Mr Jinnah dodging this issue.
