Dear Hamza Salick I really appreciate your worthwhile opinion. But i would like to add some my opinion, Islam is our religion and we are Muslim, our whole life should be demonstrable in the way of Quran and Sunnah ( the teachings of the our Holy Prophet (PBUH) ) whether we are Politician, Administrator, Teacher, Worker ,Student or belongs to any profession of life. Thats mean we should do all things in an Islamic way. So Islam should present in Politics, Administration, Management, Teaching and all profession of Muslim Life. So our politics is Islam our Administration is Islam and over all act is Islam if we follow all rules and regulation of Islam.
Islam is not like that you only follow some principles and others are avoidable or in other words Islam is not applicable on Administration and Politics.

In Pakistan every thing is misused, so our religion Islam is not blamable. Blame is for those person who use it for their tyranny purpose.
Minorities is living every where and every country. In Pakistan we did not see any incident happen against minorities before 9/11. After 9/11 scenario has been changed because USA govt declare this war as a holy war or cruise against Muslim world so it is the result of that types of incident occurred. Anyways, wrong is wrong, blame for those who used any law for his/her favor. In Salman Taseer case, as per my view he used to saying harsh word against Scholar and against Blasphemy Law in public, if he had any reservation he should arrange scholars meeting and discussed that issue with Scholars. He made big mistake he discussed that sensitive matter in public openly with his pin point and harsh language so reaction came from Mumtaz Qadri.
Here is the mistake of higher court, if court taken any suo moto notice against Salman Taseer for using harsh word openly in public, the assassinated matter never happened.
Our Govt, legislation and public are at mistake. There is no mistake of Islam and Islamic principle.
The huge mistake is we do wrong interpretation without having commendable knowledge of Islam. No one can give interpretation on Islamic laws only with basic knowledge.
