Hudood Ordinance: Myths and Facts

Yesterday I got a good website link about Hudood Ordinance from Karachi metroblog website where a reader posted the link .In this website Mufti Taqi Usmani Shaab have comeup with a detailed examination of old and new hudood law.The article link is given here though still I would like add my own words as well.

Look first of all I believe that this issue has been brought up only to create confusion among illetrate Pakistanis about Islam.I used the word Illetrate rather uneducated because several degree holders are illetrate du to their mentality and lack of understanding about different matters.

There is a cabal among us who wishes to promotes secularism in Pakistan.Same cabal also labelled Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah a secularist as well though Jinnah never gave any such impression that he wanted a secular state.

The term Seclularism itself is very vague.In general secularism is treated as 'Freedom of speech and adaption of a religion' while reality is something else.

The world 'secular' is a Latin word which means "In present world".The term secularism itself was coined by George Jacob Holyoake in 1847 in order to describe a form of opinion which concerns itself only with questions,he issues of which can be tested by the experience of this life

Holyoake explains its further:

Secularism is that which seeks the development of the physical, moral, and intellectual nature of man to the highest possible point, as the immediate duty of life - which inculcates the practical sufficiency of natural morality apart from Atheism, Theism or the Bible - which selects as its methods of procedure the promotion of human improvement by material means, and proposes these positive agreements as the common bond of union, to all who would regulate life by reason and ennoble it by service" (Principles of Secularism, 17).

Once again the main source is "Materlism" rather sprituality which is against Aethism.Secondly Aethism doesn't believe in hereafter concept given by all Abrahamic faiths.And other MOST important thing;Holyoake was an agonistic.

Therefore IMHO,Secularism is actually Aethism coated with few statments to make it vague.Charles Bradlaugh(1833-1891),the most powerful secularist of that time said in a public debate with Holyoake in 1870 said:

Although at present it may be perfectly true that all men who are Secularists are not Atheists, I put it that in my opinion the logical consequence of the acceptance of Secularism must be that the man gets to Atheism if he has brains enough to comprehend.

Many religion followers whether they re muslims,hindus,christians ,jews etc feel proud to be labelled as SECULARIST but if they do make a little effort,they will realise that they re intentially or unintentially being Anti-God.I am specially adressing to Muslims now that Please do realise wht you talk about rather being a copycat jerk of West.Secularism is NOT about giving freedom of religion.Do repent to Allah!Our Pakistanis dont even hesitate to label Jinnah as secular.I was in discussion with few guys on Adil's blog where they gave Fatwa that Jinnah is a secular due to his speech in which he said that every Pakistani is free to follow his religion.Does that make one secularist?Even Quran says similar in Surah Kafiroon Lakum Denokum Waliyadeen( You have your path and I have mine.).Does this mean its secularism?I already explained what actually is secularism which has NOTHING to do with freedom at all.

Ok lets suppose that secularism is all about laws which have no influence of religion and it gives freedom. Now on paper India and USA are two main states which are considered SECULAR(Atheist) states but is this the reality?In India we are used to here cast issues and killing of minorities like any other country on earth.In U.S ,well its not a hidden fact that Bush is a Christian President who is following Bible to kill anti-bible people(that is Muslim Infidels).The US government machinery is actually controlled by Jews or Zions.Take a very simple example. The weekly holidays of Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is a Holyday for Jews which is called Sabbath and Sunday is for Christian. Now If USA is really a secular state, why didn’t they come up with some other day for recreation?

The reason I involved secularism in my Hudood Post that many desi secularists consider this law is a ‘prison’ for Pakistani Women and for them the solution of all problems is Secularism which is promoted by Pakistani Muslims as well. The detail commentary is given by Usmani sahib in the article but I would discuss one or two funny parts of these amendments.

Who can file a complaint of Qazf? Source

a)if the person in respect of whom the Qazf has been committed is alive, that person or any person authorized by him therefore Amendment Commission came up with an absurd statmemt;please read:

It is obvious from the wording used in this clause that the drafters of this law overlooked and completely ignored women. exclusion of term ‘her’ means that is only a main against whom Qazf is committed is eligible to file a complaint

Now it really gave me laugh. I am not a law student but even in general speaking we use such masculine terms to cover both male and female.

If a teacher orders to student in Urdu Koi class se bahar nahi jaye ga! , Does it mean that it was for MALE students only?Ah!! Secularists and their lame theories.

Do read another clause which clears how sincere they are to Protect Women.

I personally didn’t give a damn to such developments. Don’t I say right that this issue is nothing but to create confusion among muslims?They were never serious to resolve the issue.If they are really serious,why don’t they hang fudals who always commit crime of KaroKari ,Wanni and others against Women?
