Kafir ko kafir kehnay main koi harj nahi. Agar kafir ko non muslim kahen gay to kia uss ka martaba uncha ho jaye ga?
Khwamkhwa non issues ko uchaalnay ki koi zaroorat nahi hay.
It is absolutely shameful...........dont we all know what kafir stands for and that it is a derogatory term? Dont we all see a difference between the term "non-muslim" or "ghair muslim" and "kafir"?
I am unable to understand that what is wrong with us Pakistanis, how can we be so callous about the feelings of people from other religions when our Islamic tradition tells us to respect other religions.
How can these people who think that there is no difference between calling someone kafir or non-muslim justify their claim?
We all talk about jihad...the greatest jihad of all jihads is correcting ourselves, become better Muslims and as a result better human beings....then why do some of us keep insisting on being bigots?
All my Pakistani brothers who dont see anything wrong with being called a "kafir" tell me in many countries of the world which are predominantly Chritian would you like to have on your documents and outside your houses the word "infidel", because as far as they ae concerned we are infidels?
When we talk about wstern nations we openly say that they are not just and they are doing harm and injustice to Muslims all over the world, so are we just when we put teh label of "kafir" at a Pakistani that we should actually be proud of?
One of Pakistani brothers said "as far as the young lad Prem is concerned. I do like your jovial English construction, Sir, but the young lad you mentioned is dead and perhas we can show the dead some respect, as expected of true Muslims. One, said that the white portion in the flag is for peace and not non-muslims, basically distorting facts jsut to make a trivial and ludicrous point. Please, growup and admit when you are wrong, it is a sign of greatness and not weakness.
I think we need to, as a nation, indulge in self analysis, reassess our values and prejudices, and turn oursleves back from the darkness of bigottary, as expected of us by Islam.
