لبرلز کو آفریدی کی ذاتی رائے کیوں نہ ہضم ہوئی

لبرل فسادی بہت ہی دو نمبر مخلوق ہیں (انکی زبان میں آکورڈ بھی کہتے ہیں) ، آفریدی جیسی غیر متنازعہ شخصیت کو بھی متنازعہ بنا دیا.

آفریدی سے ایک انٹرویو میں یہ سوال پوچھا گیا کہ کیا آپکو اچھا لگے گا کہ پاکستانی خواتین اسپورٹس میں آگے آئیں. جس کے جواب میں آفریدی نے جواب کو ٹالتے ہوئے موضوع بدلا اور کہا کہ ہماری خواتین کے ہاتھ میں ذائقہ بہت ہے اور کھانے بہت اچھے بناتی ہیں.

اس بات پپر لبرل فسادیوں نے ہنگامہ کھڑا کردیا اور اب تک ڈان اور ایکسپریس ٹریبیون میں کئی بلاگ اور خبریں اس موضوع پر شائع ہوچکی ہیں اور بلاوجہ اس ڈیبیٹ میں اس کو گھسیٹا جارہا ہے جس بحث کو اس نے خوبصورتی سے ٹال دیا تھا.

دیکھا جائے تو ایک جانب ہمارے ملک کے نام نہاد لبرل ایک طرف مذہب کو ایک شخص کا ذاتی معاملہ قرار دیتے ہیں اور دوسری جانب ایک شخص کو اس کے نظریہ کی بنیاد پر تنقید کا نشانہ بناتے ہیں. یہ کہہ رہے ہیں کہ آفریدی چاہتا ہے کہ عورتوں کو گھر میں قید کردیا جائے لیکن انہیں یہ نظر نہیں آرہا کہ وہی بندہ اس عورت کے کھانوں کی تعریف کر رہا ہے اسے عزت دے رہا ہے. شاید ان لبرلز کے نزدیک عورتوں کی بل بورڈز پر تذلیل عزت افضائی ہے، جو چاہے ان کا کرشمہ ساز کرے.

یہ دیسی اور نام نہاد لبرلز ہیں، یہ باتوں سے نہ مانیں گے!

Is Hijaab Covering the "West" ?

Islam is the fastest spreading religion in west these days; people are understanding and accepting Islam more than ever. Unfortunately there are some steps which are causing problems for Muslims to live in west; well it's true that they are free to go to their mosques and Islamic centers getting Islamic education and performing their Islamic practices. The controversial issue is the ban on the Hijab, Veil, Niqab, Burqa. Is the west afraid of the veil or is it another step to underestimate Muslim women.
Muslims are everywhere in the world, certainly it's a success that wherever they live despite of the enormous cultural differences they achieved their target of protecting their own Islamic tradition and values. There are many families who might have mixed up in the western civilization but still in a large number who are still resisting the change and feel proud on their Islamic morals.
After the law passed in the French parliament about the veil and Nicolas Sarkozy's regretting remarks about the Niqab, the veil of a normal woman in France is in danger; she will be punished for wearing Niqab, she had to pay a penalty for her act!
There are some arguments made by the western authorities, well I like to list some of them and try to give proper answers according to my knowledge and understanding of ethics. Some argue that it's not our culture, well, if this is the point, then why the Jews are allowed to wear their cultural dresses in public, if you have to put a ban on Muslim Niqab then you should also put a ban on Jewish veil. Without doubt this is a very weak argument, because Government can not pressurize the citizens to follow any specific culture. Can they ban the Chinese restaurants just because it is not their culture and forcing people to eat English food? Indeed not!
This is also argued that the veil promotes racism, first of all Niqab is not a racist element, it's a religious matter. Secondly, Muslims women from all over the world irrespective of race, country, language, color, and ethnicity wear Niqab and cover themselves. Well, the biggest racist element a person wear on himself is his face, you can not force a person to change his face and be all alike.
While some say that it's a security risk but the fact that this is only because they are targeting a specific religion. Banning the Niqab will bring more hatred and this step will give rise to more terrorism. The policy of "live and let live" should be adopted or else this will start a hate war and wars with no reason have no ending.
At the end, why interfere with my principles if I'm not interfering with yours. Despite the ban, the girls are widely adopting the Hijab, they are covering their faces in public, in schools, in universities and they still feel proud. They are happy to show their identity as a Muslim. They are doing this and still getting education performing well in job and prospering. They are doing Hijab on their own, despite some parents stop them after the ban but still they wear Hijab and fully support their step and resist the ban.
The western authorities should seriously think what they are doing, and what will be the outcome they will be facing, the minimum will be a worldwide campaign in the support of Hijab.

Dr. Afia Siddiqui - Where is the justice ?

The Date was 30th of March 2003, it was Sunday, Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a Ph.D. doctor from Karachi was kidnapped by unknown authorities. She was kidnapped along with her kids. For several years her relatives searched for her but in vain, the security forces local forces and responsible authorities were taking no responsibility of her disappearance from Pakistan. Until, some prisons from the US custody were freed and they told the story of the screams of a lady in their cells due to the brutal torture of the American marines. Later the US authorities confirmed her possession.

Since she disappeared the Islamic organizations were raising the voice against the oppression of the US and Pakistani government to let them understand their negative efforts which are causing hatred in the mind of Pakistani Nation about their actions. The dictator-ism in Pakistan was at its top, General Pervez Musharraf, who might have thought he was going to rule Pakistan forever, took steps so shamelessly and thus, sold Dr. Afia as well as many other persons from Pakistan, he mentioned in his book, "We have sent many prisons belonging to Al Qaeda and earn a lot of dollars". But he might have not think that he was planting hatred in the minds of the people of Pakistan for him and the Govt. of Pakistan which caused his era to come to an end with shame & disgrace.

In the democratic era of president Mr. Asif Ali, the incident of Raymond Davis happened at this moment most of the public; a common man were thinking that Pakistani Government might take a courageous step and will swap Dr. Afia with Davis but despite that Raymond Davis was given a clean sheet, while Afia is still under siege of America.

The Islamic Organizations from Pakistan were still speaking for Dr. Afia, while at the very same time the Human Rights Organization and Women Rights Organization, most of which are foreign funded still silent on the issue.

When writing these lines the captivity of Dr. Afia has passed for about 09 years, while she is completing her 86 years sentence.

At this point, here a question arise, why can’t she come home and live a normal life with her family and kids?

Where are the rules of freedom, peace and human rights, settled by the western nations?

Why we should accept the American imposed democracy and rule of law?

Seems dissimilar, but all of the above questions are interrelated. Despite being a biggest speaker of the democracy America still supports the anti-democracy forces (Gen. Mush) to carry out his missions.

On this 30 March 2012, whole Pakistani nation should stand up and ask for the freedom of their beloved sister Dr. Afia, to give a proof that we are still alive and are able to get back what is really ours, just think what we would do if she was our sister!
