Revolution ??
by aarshabharata on Feb 18, 2008 10:30 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Not to worry people... there will be no democracy in Pakistan. Even if a democratic government is elected it will not stay on for long. Becuase Islam and democracy don't work together. Democracy means willingness to accept other points of view. The only way Islam knows to accept other point of view is violently oppose it. Look at history, have you seen democracy in any islamic state? So unless hardliners stop calling the shots in Islam majority countries, democracy will never come.

Well said. Islam only one religion which is fundamentalist. Because that is the only religion which declares itself as State religion, unquestionable, unchangeable. Fundamentalism does not exist in any other religion. As all others are open to logic, dialogue, reform, reason and change. A fundamentalist is one whose fundamentals are incorrect. This kind of reactionary approach has been learned from them. And they are going down because of their own attitude. They either believe in short-cut or just cut. So, the whole world is slowly uniting against this mentality.
