Default My Articles/Words!

My words published in Pak-Observer.

All other important paragraphs had been omitted out, perhaps, because of space or material couldn't be digested easily; only conclusion could be published.

Here is whole article.


Don't move by Fear

Religion is based upon fear, primarily. Fear and greed go hand in hand and fear is the parent of cruelty. Thousands of years, mankind have lived in sheer fear; it is a need of hour to conquer it through science and reason. If we peep into the pages of history, the initial states were all theocratic, the states of fear.

When Pharoah imposed his first law announced and claimed that this law had been bestowed upon him by the sun god. He became, then, a son of god __ a cleric and ruler. Rulers of China called themselves, sons of sky, Tien-Tse. They were clerics and rulers of the state. This kingdom of the sons of god continued till 1911 and when a democratic revolution came, the empire of the sky was finished for forever. This same kingdom was also in Japan till 1945.

The 1000 year rule of the church is called "THE DARK ERA" by western philosophers. All the theocratic states of time are lambasted by scientists and philosophers. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam, in Febuary 1948 said, " In any case Pakistan is not to be a theocratic state -to be ruled by the priests with a divine mission." Why is Pakistan being made a theocratic state?

Those nations who do not learn from history face the toughest time. This is what Pakistan is facing now because of kicking out historical mindedness. The country is facing problems from within and without. Extremism is at its peak and business of fear is running fast. Government of Pakistan needs to be a secular state as the founder said.

Pakistan played a critical role in the 1979 war of Afghanistan and risked her own stability. Since that Pakistan is a victim of extremism and terrorism. Pakistan is trying to overcome extremism through military operations, no doubt, the military operation is important, but the extremism runs deep in the psyche of people. There is a Taliban in the mind of people. It cannot be killed through bombs and bullets.

There are 22,052 registered madaris in Pakistan as per record by the interior ministry. Thousands of unregistered seminaries are in Pakistan. Around 446 madaris are unregistered in federal capital; one can easily guess the ratio well. Most of the madaris are source of spreading fear, sectarianism, greed and violence among people and this ends up in extremism. Rabia Basri said, " I carry fire in one hand and a bucket of water in another; with these thing, I am going to set fire to heaven and put out the flames of hell so that voyages to God can rip the viels and see the real goal."

Talibans are being killed by military and others are being generated through text books, madaris, media and loud speakers. Curriculum in both madaris and schools promote hate, bigotry, sectarianism and violence. False history and hate material should be rooted out from text books. As it is briefly written in the book of K.K AZIZ "The murder of history."


It is a sorry state of affairs as to how our Ulemas and religious leaders interpret Islam and world here after. They fill the hearts of people with fear and greed; the fear of hell and wrath of Almighty and greed of heaven and honey. God is beyond fear and greed. He is all love for His creations - humanity and human beings. Root out fear and greed. Yes, don't move by fear.
