Dear Nafees Sahib,




I read the article by Mr Farooq Suleria. There is nothing I can say. In social and political thought many sources of inspiration can be there, some recognised and some may be claimed by example. How many know that democracy originated from Athens? But let me challenge you further that democracy did not originate in Athens but in Sumer where King Gulgamesh did not hold autocratic power but his power was shared with a Council. I will get you many authorities who will say they never heard of King Gulgamesh.





Cyrus stated in 600 BC that he will respect the traditions, customs and religions of the nations of his empire and never let any of his governors and subordinates look down on or insult them until he was alive. This does not mean all religious tolerance originated from there. Many societies and intellectuals may not really know that Cyrus ever made that statement.





I think Khan meant it as an example of principles learned by modern societies through a chain of human intellect. I am not a scholar and I can understand when one 'socialist' states that he never heard of Umar's law. I will ask Mr Khan the context and origin of his claim.





Yours sincerely,





Dr Arif Alvi

Secretary General

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf


P.S :
I'm not sure about the authinicity of this statment by dr. Arif alvi as I found it on some yahoo group.

there is another thread on the same topic in siasi discussion,
go and read that and see the debate going on there, you might understand :)

Just a highlight that it was about IK's statement that Umar's law is been used in scandinavian countires as social welfare system.

this historian guy was intervied by a pakistani on that and he rejects that 'our authorities' don't even know islamic system.

Yee kia hay bhai............?

Pagal khan is a liar and openly lies. Just few days back he was telling people in rally that provinces are allowed to produce elctricity for last 4 years. He siad that constitution amendment was passed 4 years before but fact is that amendment was passed almost 18 months ago. Problem is that his pagal supporter never question him when he keep telling lies openly. He is like a prophet who never lies .
