(clap) In summary If the voter is Ullu (cry) Good to know a man who understands democracy.

This is the whole point......stop being ullus..............and if most of us do say that we dont need democracy then essentially they are admitting that they dont deserve individual voice and individual freedoms and someone should tell them waht to to because they are mentally incompetent...............

O bhai!! Mein tasleem krta hun k aap se zyada jamhooriat ki afadiat ko koi nai samajta hoga. But, if you want the western style democracy, then you should take a look at the literacy rate of those countries. Most of them have more than 95% even 100 or 99%. First, you have to give them enough sense so that they can decide what is wrong and what is right. I dont say k martial law or army rule is the solution. Wo to asmaan se gir k khajoor mein ataknay wali baat ha.
And then the question is, what's the solution. And this definitely is a tough question.

My Dear dont take it personally, the countries that you mentioned do have a very high level of literacy.........but in 1215 when the first democratic rights were given to the British their literacy rate was much worse then us. You dont need degrees to know your rights and duties. What was teh American literact rate in 1619 when theri first elected representatives were elected.

Also there are many countries in which democratic system is going forward (not perfectly, but at least they do not have goose stepping morons coming in after every 5-10 years) that do have much less litearcy rates.
Awareness is different from education. I live abroad in one of the countries that you have mentioned and believe me peopel here might be more educated but their political awareness is not much better than ours. The only difference is that at a given time when they did have that awareness they created a sound system that is still working.

If you can come up with any other system in which there some kind of parity and equality, then I will agree with you.

There is no such thing as western style democracy, democracy is democracy period with a right to vote and right to run for the office for every citizen as simple as that. When US became a democratic country literacy rate was very poor it took over two hundred years for institutions to evolve. It will take long time to transform Ullu to an Eagle if you remain democratic if not, there is no transformation. Having a good constitution is the key and its the duty of every citizen to uphold it.

It all depends on people like yourself to engage in the process by participating, or forming, political parties whose ideas are as close to yours, contributing with your ideas and making donations to parties and campaigning as volunteer on behalf of good candidates, without expecting personal gains, selected by you. When you do this a lot of ullus will become smart.

Is it hundred or thousand? :)





Now, this is an appropriate question. I hope mrbaig would like to answer it.
This is the actual problem.Even our litrate(So called)people do not under stand what secularism means.It does neither stops any one from going to a place of worship nor compels any one to adopt any version of faith.Secular Govt: manages for the betterment of its citizens.
Who told u that secularism means permission of all these filthy thing u described.It is a mind set to call every one kafir/minority who does not agree with your views.

Note one thing and tell your children and their children that survival of Pakistan is in only and only to become a secular country otherwise soon it will perish from the world map.
This country is a big feast for Molvies.

Secularism results in Human Sovereignty (Democracy), where as Sovereignty belongs to Allah
سروری فقط زیبا اس ذات بے ہمتان کو ہے
حکمران ہے اک وہی باقی بتان آزاری

When human have the rights to make Law, results is Western society.

State must be secular for what:

gay/lesbians marriages
Free sex
every year increasing # of
bas tards
[FONT=&quot] OR
banning mosque minars
banning hajab
burning Quran Majeed
drawing Muhmmad SAW

[/FONT]

State can be still secular if the constitution accepted by vote with 66 percent or more voters that Forbids and punishes:
Gays and lesbians
Punishing for free sex and death for bas tards
Forbids ban on mosque or minars and hijab
Forbids and punishes for drawing Muhammd SAW

Other countries may not agree with your constitution but no one can say its not democratic.

In Switzerland ban imposed on Minars will likely stricken down by the courts as it interfere with individual's right to build.

Iqbal also said

Jallah badshahi ho ya jamhori tamasha ho
Juda hon deen siyasat se, to reh jati hai changhaize

I would again disagree respectfully with Alama Iqbal. He used the word changhaize ( actions of changhaize Kahn). If you ask a Mongolian and other tribes who supported him will tell you that deen was a very much part of his actions as his deen was drawn from shamanism. His deen was very much part of his siasat. He never slept in a house or a tent whose door did not faced south, part of his deen.

An Individual who is pious, just, and educated his/her traits will play a part in anything he/she does AUTOMATICALLY weather he/she is shop keeper, merchant, policeman, bureaucrat, soldier prime minister or president.

Like king of Saudia.

[FONT=&quot]Khalifa is not King
Khalafat is not monarchy

that's why is said "[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Kingdoms came in existence in absence of Khalafat & Shariah[/FONT]."

Here is how Iqbal sees jamhooriat but we still wanna stick with it.


گریز از طرزِ جمہوری، غلامِ پختہ کاری شو

کہ از مغزِ دو صد خر عقلِ انسانی نمی آید


Mje aik aur shair yad aa gya. (But, I dont remember whose is it.)


"Jamhooriat wo tarz-e-hakoomat ha k jis mein...
Bandon ko gina jata ha, tola nahin jata..."

Right said, please comment on the following system that i am trying to introduce, please note that its extract from Khalafte rashida;

In british democracy we chose a leader by couting vote (person) but in Islamic democracy (Khilafat) we not count people but we weight people. (by taking public opinion for a specific candidate.

Here is an example, a questionair that will be give to every individul of state to give opinion (Vote) for a candidate.

Q1. ap apny zameer ko hazir nazir janty howy batain keh is candidate (name) ki education/taleem apki nazar ma kitni ha. oor keya kafi ha keh yeh benda mulik ka sadar ban sakay. Please circle appropriate. while 0 is worst and 10 is best.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight education)

Q2. apki nazar ma is shahs ki personality ka weight kitna ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q3. yeh shahs tarih se kitna waqif ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q4. is shahs ki speaking power kitni ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q5. is shahs ky dost ahbab kaisy hain.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q6. leader ship skills kaisy hain.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q7. Emandar kitna ha

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q8. deyanat dar kitna ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q9. sharafat oor eman kitna ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Q10. Sadaqat kitni ha.

0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 (please weight)

Declaration: I swear that i have given my opinion independently without any pressure and without any influnce.

after taking opinion of all public we will calculate weight and the highest weight will be winner.
