Moderen and enlightend islam. Khalid Mahmood Bhatti Helsing?r - 54th post - 12 May 2005 13:05
On Thursday the 12th May, I had an opportunity to read an interview of state Ministers of religious affair in Daily Time. The interview was like an anguish instead of relief or satisfaction, though it provided me and perhaps other readers a in-depth insight of the notion "moderen enlightenment of Islam". The moderen enlightenment of Islam is an other name of secularism that is being impose on a country and nation which aroused from the idea of two nation theory. When our forefathers demanded a separate homeland for Muslim of the Indian-subcontinent, they hadn't in mind a nation like that, where, there some feudal lords and ruling elites will do there utmost to transform it and project it as a secular state.
If it was in their mind, then there was no reason to establish a separate homeland for Muslim then we could have far better of within the Indian federation. And further more it was foolish to fought three wars with arch rival India. If the moderen enlightenment of Islam means what our ruling elites are going to impose on us so it would be better to rejoin Indian union and strengthened India's bid to become a security council member and thus let India play a role which it deserves. President General Pervaiz Musharraf could be a copy of Ata Turk, because he had his military training from there. Though Turkey is a secular state and oppressive regime that forced people to do what they are not used to. I know hundreds of Turks who are not satisfy with the regime's persecution of Islamic ideology and forcible imposition of secularism. The secularity that we see in the Turkey is prevalent in Urban areas that are less than 10 percent of the turkey's population so imposition of ideology contrary to folk's routine is undemocratic and also against the human rights. But how could people like Aamar Liaqat Hussein, President Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz & Co know that? Because they are a bunch of people who are carrying forwards their personal ambitions and American Agenda to secularize the whole world, particularly the Islam and Islamic countries that are like the fortresses of sand just because, our rulers have no popular support and their clinching to power demand subjugation of West and USA.
No one in Muslim world can distinguish between modernity and secularism. Secularism means to abandon one's religious affiliation and deny the existence of a God, while modernity means to make progress in different walks of life by maintaining religious affiliations. Does Mr. Minister and his superiors call this modernity, go in suits and necktie, watch porno, go half nude, utter corrupt language on TV and media and speak English, French, German or do all the contrary things to Islam and prevalent society ? No it is not the face of modernity, but the face of secularism and an imposition of foreign ideologies which are only playing havoc in our society. The people of Muslim world and particularly Pakistanis are confused and stunned by the falsification of Islamic ideology and corrupting of the Muslim society.
People and Government in west are making arrangements to put a lid on spirits, alcohols,pornograhpy and other evil acts, but on the contrary we the flag bearers of moral and ethical values are introducing these evils in our societies. What have gone wrong with our leadership of muslim countries? why are they incumbent to turn us secular, just because to get some bucks from the west to facilitate their and their families lives on the cost of our consciousness.
Do the Hr. Minister know the meaning and ideology back in the Trinity University, which had enabled Mr. Aamar Liaqat Hussein to contest in election,by conferring him an honorary degree of B.A.? Trinity means the Father + Son + Holy souls = God. The basic principle of Christianity. It is therefore Mr. Minister got his honorary degree, because his thesis was of these characteristics which enable a Muslim to be deserved of their favor.
Since the birth of Pakistan we are experiencing all what was and is not relevant to our objectives as a Muslim nation, in its 58 years history, Pakistan has never been a Muslim state, but an hooch pooch of promiscuity's.
An Islamic state is where there it is not said people are allowed to practice whatever they want but it also provide people opportunities and guidelines to mauled themselves into the frame of the ideology on which principles a nation and state is being establish. And this is not the case with Pakistan, you are allowed to do whatever you want but you are not allowed to be Muslims, nor despots of the west neither westeren allowed us to do? The reason is that they are afraid of Islamic ideology, after the demise of the Soviet Union the only ideology that can free the world from western hegemony and suppression and economic sanctions. It is therefore they are introducing different type of Islam into Muslim countries and promote those who are willing to lend their assistance the USA and its allies. They do this through NGOS ( Non Governmental Organizations) with their hidden agenda to undermine our religion and our cultural heritage to change the face of Islam and Muslim world. As Cheryl Benard the wife of president George W Bush's security adviser (Zalmay Khaledzadey) wrote in her book the "Modern democratic isl am". sic, divide Muslim in four categories, secular Muslim,fundamentalist Muslim, Sufi Muslims and moderate Muslims she is in favor of supporting the former one and later ones and want to be create gulf between the fundamentalists and Sufi Muslim to break the back bone of Muslim world's challengeability to west and I am afraid this is going to happen in Muslim world and particularly in Pakistan which vive ring/skidding off its due course.
