‘‘Jamaat-e-Islami is fighting for an Islamic revolution in Pakistan so that people can be liberated from their problems and difficulties.’’

Y'know, Mohammed really hit these people with the Stupid Stick. I mean they are clubbed, bludgeoned, whacked, by the Stupid Stick.

(With thanks to comedian Flip Wilson)

Islam is the Problem. I have to say that Islam will always create problems because through Islam problems can not be solved. It does not allow critical analysis of itself. Therefore Islam and democracy cannot work if it does it works in very, very, very few cases; however, a majority collapse. Yes we may be able to inculcate democratic ideals into the psyche of Muslims but that is only after we stop the building of Mosques or Madrases, where most of the teaching occurs. Possible, may be.

Higher jihad.

The Urdu-language newspaper Roznama Jang quoted Mehnati as saying that the purpose of creating Pakistan was the establishment of an Islamic system in the country.

Mehnati is right in a sense, because Jinnah insisted on the creation of Pakistan as a separate home for Muslims carved out of British India. I don't know, however, that he planned on a 7th-century state ruled by sharia law.

With Islam all your problems just go away..............

You see, it's not just Pie in the Sky, it's falafel on the ground as well.

There are a number of reason for the creation of Pakistan. It was created by the Muslim elite. The reasons are based on Islamic tenets. All the answers to Muslim behavior is from the Koran and Islamic jurisprudence. It really is that simple. If looking a India's History, Islam invaded India through now what is NW Pakistan. The attacks came from Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan all these had become Islamic. They were aware of the riches of India especially in the Hindu and Jain Temples. Gold , diamonds and treasures were left at these temples by Hindus and rarely guarded. Moguls finally established rule in Indian after continuous attack over a millennium. Once the British were able to establish and made India part of the Empire the Muslims took a back seat. They were no longer in power, however once the British left they knew it was an opportunity to continue the rule of India. But the Hindus where going to take the helm through the parliamentary system established and left by the British. The Muslims cannot be ruled by anyone else except for Muslims and they always rule others. When they are in a weak state they use deception etc per dictates of Islam. So the solution of was to pretend that they would be persecuted in Hindu India and that they would want their own state. Pakistan was left with the same parliamentary democratic system but it collapsed almost immediately because Islam is not compatible with democracy it is always about conquest.

"Jamaat-e-Islami is fighting for an Islamic revolution in Pakistan so that people can be liberated from their problems and difficulties."

The Truth will set people free and liberate them from their problems.

Here is a very interesting article on the history of this Islamic organisation. It explains the movement very well:

The Middle East Quarterly also had a good article on this movement, though I can't find it.

"Jamaat-e-Islami is fighting for an Islamic revolution in Pakistan so that people can be liberated from their problems and difficulties."

Too bad they can't just "put on their big-girl panties and deal" like the rest of the planet.

"Jamaat-e-Islami is fighting for an Islamic revolution in Pakistan so that people can be liberated from their problems and difficulties"

Pretty much what Hitler said about Nazism?

Soooooooooooo Multi Cultural of them. So much understanding of others point of view. So kind of them to wish to save us, and bestow upon us, the joy of cave dwelling.

The creation of Pakistan was a mistake.

Either join the Jihad Utopia or die!

dee -

very interesting link to article by sita ram goel. I just had a quick skim through it. Thanks!

In light of the hilarious phrase - it could almost have come out of the mouth of an old-fashioned marxist - "so that people can be liberated from their problems and difficulties’’ - I recommend, as reality check, the chapters on the condition of Pakistan, in V S Naipaul's two classics, 'Among the Believers' and 'Beyond Belief'.

The harder they try to Islamify everything, the harder they try to 'purify' everything of everything except Islam, the more zealously they try to impose and enforce Sharia, the worse things get, and the whole social, economic, political and legal structure starts to collapse.

But instead of thinking - oh, maybe we ought to slack off a bit - they just try harder, digging themselves into an ever deeper and deeper hole.

And to go with Naipaul's books, this gem of a piece from Hugh Fitzgerald, passing on to us a classic scholar's assessment of Pakistan 'Land of the Pure', not long after its separation from India:

"I recently picked up at a book sale a copy of "The Miscellany," edited by P. Lal, and published in Calcutta. Issue #51 (June 1972), one of three devoted to the then recently-deceased, at age 41, of David McCutchion.

"An Englishman, David McCutchion was a lover of India, not of the william-dalrympish sort, that is the kind who loves the luxe of the Moghul court and its love intrigues, nor the kind of Englishman (also william-dalrympish) of the walking-across-half-a-continent-when-young sort, making use of local color of the human interest kind, often grizzled or wizened or wizenedly grizzled picturesque Muslims, to do the work for him (downmarket Byrons and Newbys, not to menton the now-unfashionable, because bookish, traveller Gide in "Le Retour du Tchad"), but a true scholar, an Indophile who studied brick temples in Bengal, and Indian writing, was a friend of Satyajit Ray and all sorts of interesting people in Calcutta who never get the attention in the West that all those anti-Western islamisant arundhati-roys manage to get.

"
I read through The Miscellany #52 – and discovered a tribute from the Sanskrit (and Buddhism) scholar Richard Gombrich (son of E. H.), who opened his essay, titled “His Work Is Unrepeatable,” with this: “The recent death of Mr. David McCutchion in Calcutta at the age of 41 is a catastrophe for oriental studies.”

"Gombrich describes McCutchion as a scholar who “devoted all his time, his money, and his exceptional energy and enthusiasm, to the study of arts and monuments which are fast disappearing. He tramped all over Bengal, both West and East, taking notes and photographs; his knowledge of the countryside was famous. A self-taught photographer, he spared no pains to take the perfect shot; and he leaves well over ten thousand colour slides and as many black and white photographs of high professional quality…..His greatest specialities were Bengali temple architecture and terra-cotta sculpture, the latter a lost skill of whose monuments little is known to the wider world; he also studied and collected Bengali scroll paintings. He explored many other parts of India too, and recorded even Gupta temples previously unknown.”


And a little more, taken from a website:


“David McCutchion (1930-1972), English-born scholar, Indophile and early critic of Raja Rao, was an authentic pioneer: in his short lifetime...made a major contribution to the study of Bengali temples...one of the first scholars to write on the now much commented subject of Indian Writing in English....Born in Coventry, David attended that city's King Henry VIII Grammar School. He made it to Cambridge University the hard way, on intellectual merit alone. He read Modern Languages (French and German) at Jesus College. After graduating in 1953, he taught English for two years in southern France. He went to India in 1957. He worked there first as an English teacher...and later, as Professor and then Reader in Comparative Literature at Jadavpur University, Calcutta.... David's ground-breaking study of Bengali brick temples, The Temples of Bankura District, was published by Writers Workshop in 1972.”

"
David McCutchion lived through the war made by West Pakistan (now Pakistan) on East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, in 1970-71, a war in which Muslim fanatics in East Pakistan, locally called razakars, joined forces with the raping and murdering army of West Pakistan, accepting the argument that what was good for Pakistan – that is, staying one country – was necessarily good for Islam, and what was good for Islam was all that mattered.

"
Here is how, in a letter from England to a friend, McCutchion described the behavior of Pakistan:
- 
'…We are raising funds {for those in what was then East Pakistan being murdered by the army of West Pakistan and its local, fervently Muslim East Pakistani collaborators], and hope to see the Minister of Overseas Development.

-'What do I think of it all? Appalling…Pakistan should never have existed – it has cost more lives than the whole of the British Empire in 200 years.

-'What should I think of a culture that burns down the British Council library in Lahore because an English publisher printed a picture of Mahomet?

-'Fanaticism plus Machiavellianism plus brutality equals Islamic Pakistan.”

One More Time:
"What do I think of it all? Appalling...Pakistan should never have existed -- it has cost more lives than the whole of the British Empire in 200 years.

'What should I think of a culture that burns down the British Council library in Lahore because an English publisher printed a picture of Mahomet?

'Fanaticism plus Machiavellianism plus brutality equals Islamic Pakistan."
Print out that last bit, and put it on your refrigerator, under the title: 'Pakistan'.

Bravo, McCutcheon and Hugh.

A terrific 'reality check' on this so-called 'Land of the (Islamically) Pure' which, in its blind belief that total adherence to sharia will 'liberate' people from all their 'problems and difficulties', has merely descended, and is still descending, inexorably into the abyss.
