Extremism in Society
Asalaamualaykum.
I think most Pakistanis are good people, not perfect but good, so by posting this I am not self hating against our people as a whole. This post is to discuss a problem and it's solution(s). Some examples I can think of:
- People angry (not a problem) about love marriage and then some people being happy to commit murder (a grievous sin) in response even though under hanafi madhab a couple can marry without parental approval (if they meet certain conditions).
- A man recently killed his wife because he was not getting enough sex and educated people like lawyers in the video supported him. But murder again is far worse in Islam than neglecting a spouse sexually.
- People wanting blasphemy laws to apply but then happily commit murder or celebrate it even without evidence provided. How many people got murdered whose blood was not halal? I am 100% fine with Islamic laws BTW.
- Some people's politics is more important to them than Islam. You could talk about parts of Islam infront of them in negative sentences and they would not care much but talk negatively of their beloved party leader/or general and you'll see a much bigger reaction.
- Then there's the munafiq types, these types are a minority, the types who have issue with qurbani as they say you could donate to charity but they have no problem eating meat any other day or wasting money at restaurants. The type who will complain about Islamic laws punishing criminals but will fantasise about murdering anyone they see as a "mullah". Actually mullahs are the source of every pakistani problem according to them.
Obviously differing scenarios might require different solutions. One of course is education from a young age that emphasises between halal and haram and another is stricter punishments for some crimes. But you know we are just the people and not the government so affecting the education system and criminal system is a bit out of reach. But I'm sure we could do something on the micro level and I think we need to moderate our tempers and emotions.
