With the much publicized crackdown on the corruption and the subsequent arrest of a number of high profile personalities and large scale defaulters the CE continues to ride high on the wave of public approval. Seemingly he can do no wrong, the cries of approval reverberates around the entire population at home or even abroad but behind these load voices doubting whispers are beginning to be heard. The army action after the bombing in Islamabad against the Muslims of Afghani origin began a dangerous precedent whereby the Islamic Jihadi movements are not supported by the Pakistani government, but rather are crushed by the Pakistani government. A delegation of Al-Muhajiroun members visited the CE's ADC who said "I don't like the word Khilafah". If the CE's administration is against the name of the Islamic state what will be there view on the structure and administration of the Islamic state ? While in the glare of the media and the public approval rating, the CE's declared Pakistan to be an Islamic state. A new and disturbing whisper as reached the ears of the Muslims with the possibility of multiple ramifications for Islam and the Muslims of Pakistan/sub-continent. The CE's admiration for the British puppet Mustafa Kamal is well know, and his statements on Kamalism have been given wide publicity in the international and national press. Only now we are beginning to seeing the seeds of Kamalism. A senior source in the Punjab government indicated that they will register all the masjids and the religious institutions of the country, also all the imams must be from the Awqaf department and all the kutbas will be provided in written form by the government. Further, to these aims the source revealed that the government had started to work towards the elimination of terrorism If we look to other Muslim countries where the policy of government appointed imams has been implemented. It is clear that the message that the imams carry is nothing more than the echo of governmental policy. for example the imams in Saudi Arabia regularly called for jihad against the Jewish state in the eighty's, but when the kufr government of Saudi Arabia decided to openly surrender to the Jewish state these same imams and khateebs concocted fatwas to sum how justify the peace treaty with the occupying Jews. With the formalized kutba's we can expect the government imams to discourage the Muslims from jihad in Kashmir, and many other Islamic duties. But by far the most vicious attack will be lunch against the concept of the Khilafah system, because it is this system which condemns the government of Pakistan including the Awqaf department as being kufr i.e. not implementing the Islamic law. The evil which is intended for the masjids has already been instituitionalised in the Pakistani education system, where the concept of Khilafah is taught as a thirty endeavor by the Sahaba which ended with Imam Ali (ra). In reality the Khilafah system continued for over 1300 years producing such notable scholars like Ibn Sina who diagnosed and treated meningitis in the 11th century, and his textbook of medicine (Al Qanun) was used as a standard reference in Europe for centuries after. Imam Abu Hanifah and Imam Shafi'ee carried Islamic jurisprudence to new highs. Al-Razi used alcohol as an antiseptic, and found a treatment for smallpox in the 10th century. As for terrorism the question is, what is terrorism? And who are the terrorists? The answer to this lies in who defines the terrorists, certainly for the Jewish occupiers Hizbullah or Hamas are seen as terrorists where as the view from the Shari'ah, they are seen as Mujahid. In the view of the Russians the Chechens are seen as terrorists, whereas in light of the Shari'ah they are seen as Mujahideen. In the eyes of the Pakistani government the Jihadi movements (Lashkeri Tayabah, Hizbul Jihad) are seen as potential threat and therefore potential terrorist, but in the eyes of the Shari'ah they are seen as soldiers of Allah. The possibilities for the Punjabi governments recommendation are seemingly endless, but all seem to grow from the same seed of Kamalism. |
