Comments on: Pakistan’s journalists won’t be silenced http://blogs.reuters.com/afghanistan/2011/06/01/pakistans-journalists-wont-be-silenced/ Lifting the veil on conflict, culture and politics Thu, 23 May 2013 22:54:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: rrdas http://blogs.reuters.com/afghanistan/2011/06/01/pakistans-journalists-wont-be-silenced/comment-page-1/#comment-6344 rrdas Sun, 12 Jun 2011 11:06:51 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/afghanistan/?p=3275#comment-6344 Actually we have been missing the point for a long long time. The problem is not Pakistan, it is not Afghanistan etc.. The problem is Islam. Islam promotes through the Quoran, violence in the name of Allah. There are many Ayats (verses) in the quoran which promise heaven if killed in the noble act of spreading Islam. The Hadits are similar as they show by Mohammeds e.g. how killing for Jihad is the way to God. Jihad has been going on for over 1500 years and will continue as long as people believe in Quoran.

No, Pakistan is an Islamic State, run for the benefit of the wealthy and powerful, and Islam is being used to empower the wealthy and maintain the ruling classes. It is easy to disparage Islam, but the problem is that Islam is being used, just as the border "dispute" with India is used, to keep the population distracted from the true intentions and purpose of the government. Saying that the government is a failure misses the point: it is not a failure because it is doing exactly what it wants and intends to do.
