Jinnah and the Islamic State – Setting the Record Straight Why Pakistan was created? I don't understand what was the need by the professor to waste so much of his time and energy in finding the answer rather than paying more attention to his own filed of study ?


The simple answer is:

The unarguable fact is that the Muslims of India wanted a separate homeland of theirs and they struggled for it until they succeeded in creating such a homeland in the shape of Pakistan!

Twisting and distorting the Quaids speeches such as follows is just to appease the mentally upset people who unfortunately call them as 'liberal muslims'' instead of hypocrites, that what they are. They often refer to Quaid's foll apeeches:

“You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the State…. You will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.” [Aug 11, 1947, Jinnah’s address to the First Constituent Assembly]



Similarly, Jinnah had indeed come out forcefully against theocracy:

"Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic state to be ruled by priests with a divine mission. We have many non-Muslims-Hindus, Christians and Parsis – but they are all Pakistanis. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges as any other citizens and will play their rightful part in the affairs of Pakistan." [Feb. 1948, Jinnah’s broadcast address to the people of the United States of America]


It is clear from these speeches that:
1. A land of the Muslims has to be governed by the laws of Islam otherwise, as a matter of common sense, one can ask as to why did the Muslim's aspire for a separate homeland of theirs??

The writer and many of his like conceal the fact that minorities have complete rights in a Muslim or Islamic state except that which is not permitted by the injunctions of faith. It's nonsense to say that minorities are not enjoying equal social rights in Pakistan. On the contrary they are better off than many Muslims! If observing Namaz,roza, zakat, zakat,jihad, hajj are mechanisms of Talibansm then let us stop calling us Muslims. The writer is just trying to confuse and confound Islamic teachings with some of the wrong interpretations made by the Taliban or so called fundamentals. Let us join hands to bring those people in line with our faith rather than demean it through unscrupulous propagands , especially that relating to the rights of minorities and influencing governance.
