***...Thanks Mr Qureshi for appreciating my comment.<br />*****Generating 'genuine economy' is the "desperately needed factor" for putting a lid on the menace of extremism for good. <br />But, the people need be motivated to go for BALANCE & MERIT in order to get the ultimate success. <br />There is hope, yet there remains a long way to go.<br />Regards,<br />Tariq Mian MianTariqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118190544168423630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5058387071370526197.post-79484920129820039472013-03-12T15:04:13.902-05:002013-03-12T15:04:13.902-05:00

It very succinctly explains the malady that is caving into Pakistan’s foundation as a modern state. Your identification of the real catalysts for fomenting chaos in Pakistan is absolutely realistic. I wonder if in the times to come Pakistan would be able to come out of the morass of religious frenzy. Pakistan’s social and political ship is adrift and when can it be steered safely to the shores cannot be presaged.<br />I thank you for responding to my article with an intellectual brilliance.<br />Saeed Qureshi<br />Saeed Qureshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316296150519739251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5058387071370526197.post-78919020537303135742013-03-11T15:44:55.537-05:002013-03-11T15:44:55.537-05:00Pakistan came into being based on two ideologies (...Pakistan came into being based on two ideologies (The two nations theory). The Theory/Ideology of Pakistan took shape through an evolutionary process with Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. The poet of East - Allama Iqbal gave the philosophical explanation, while Muhammad Ali Jinnah translated it into the “political reality.” <br />Unfortunately, a stinky culture of religious vengeance has been cultivated, but there is no doubt in my mind that this scenario provides a “win win condition” to the vested interests directly or indirectly. <br />In fact, the extremists are the ones who know nothing about Islam. I mean they need to get education from the primary source which is the Qur’an and the authentic ahadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).<br />Islam only teaches moderation, and It professes the practice of respect and exercise of tolerance regardless of creed, color or ethnicity. The problem is the so called “contractors of Islam,” who are creating trouble for the Muslim community and the masihi brothers. .<br />Most probably, the extremists are paving the way for the enemy of Pakistan. The people now suspect a foul play in all this, as the enemy might be furthering the anti-Pakistan agenda.<br />Unless everyone is on the same page with respect to imparting a massive education programme to purify the confused minds, extremists would keep hurting us all.<br />MianTariqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118190544168423630noreply@blogger.com
