Today marks the beginning of another disgraceful Black-Day in the annals of Islamic Civilization as Sharia Law was imposed at gunpoint on the people of Pakistan by the Talibans. These Undemocratic, Murderous Maniacs, and the Draconian Islamic Sharia laws are truly an affront to civilized world.
In exchange, the Muslims will lay down their arms and obey the laws of the land. (Allah has saved Pakistan at the expense of the Women of Pakistan). The Mullahs—blackmailed the hell out of 'Nuclear Power' Pakistani Army! What baffles my mind is, 'how the Muslims cannot see the murderous imputations of their dogma'. Sharia would lead to Balkanization. Balkanization would lead to civil war. Lebanon, Palestine, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Algeria, Turkey, Indonesia, Kosova, India and every other Islamic country is skirting the edges of possible civil war. There is no such thing as 'moderate Islam'. Under canonical Quranic law, these moderates are Hypocrites and can easily be declared Kafirs, worthy of beheading in public. Where are those Pro-Islamic voices who keep on shouting that Islam is a religion of moderation and peace--and that there is no compulsion in religion??? Great tragedy of Islamic countries is that due to the lack of a critical mass of critical thinkers---they are dreadfully stuck in the sands of 7th century Arabia. The Bedouin people of the Arabian Desert were illiterate---combine that with the boredom of the desert life—they had to develop the art of singing, poetry and memorization culture. In 7th Century, when The Arabs got hold of the ancient works of Greeks and Indians, they did not fully comprehend the 'earth shattering' nature of those scripts. They memorized it and then passed it on to the Europeans. In my opinion, this was the turning point in the history of the Muslim world. This was the First Paradigm Shift, Second Paradigm Shift was the Renaissance, the Third Paradigm Shift was the Industrial Revolution and the Fourth Paradigm Shift is the Information Age—the Muslim world missed all of these momentous moments in the history of the world. Why? Memorization Culture! Due to thousands of years of memorization, the Muslims completely forgot to think by themselves. On top of that their backward religion forbade them to think and ordered them to follow Quran by blindly memorizing it. Their major criteria for accepting anyone as an expert in any field was then and now is same---the individual's prowess in memorization. As a matter of fact, in Islamic Countries, these parrots are called 'geniuses'. Memorization inhibits creativity and innovation, which explains why the Muslim countries are technologically so backward. It forces their 'geniuses' to migrate to the West and strengthen the hands of these monstrous, exploitative, multi-national corporations---owned by the Kafirs. The memorization culture demonstrates clearly the reason for Muslim mind to choose esoteric fields of study and dwell on prosaic subject matter. You see, when you memorize, you are merely parroting---repeating someone else's mental process. Dr.Zakir Naik is a perfect example of a beautiful Parrot. He is covering his ignorance with borrowed knowledge. He thinks, by memorizing every book, he will become wise---alas, it ain't so! He can only fool the gullible Muslims and nobody else. 99% of teachers in Islamic countries totally lack the critical thinking skills, abstract thinking skills, and conceptual skills. Scientific inquiry starts with doubt and skepticism---Islam starts with absolute certainty. In Islamic countries the Schools, Colleges, and universities don't teach philosophy, religion, history, sociology, embryology, biology, theology, and anthropology, the way it is taught in the Western countries. That explains why these countries are unable to bring their respective countries into modern age in terms of Law, democracy, and universal human rights compliance. Politicians, bureaucrats, technocrats, civil society, Supreme Court justices, and the army---in all the Muslim nations are helpless, powerless and paralyzed by the strict canonical quran, sharia and hudood ordinances. I quote again the greatest Muslim philosopher, Sir Allama Iqbal, Says he—"there is no need to call upon reason to discover the moral order---Allah has already spelled it out for us. For believers, Koran is the word of God - a declarative disclosure that it is the revealed truth –It is beyond reason and logical examination". Another Muslim great, Sir Sayyid Ahmed Khan, the founder of Aligarh University, says, "It is my duty to defend as much as I can the religion of Islam, right or wrong". Speaks Volumes—Doesn't It? God's honest truth is that this blind faith has made reason obsolete. In Islamic countries, shariah and hudood ordinances are incorporated in its legal frame work, which is totally against human rights, woman's right and minority rights. Ever wondered why Not a single Muslim king who ruled Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent for nearly 1000 years---established even one college or university. Due to this disastrous educational policy--nearly one billion people lost the opportunity to develop critical mass of critical thinkers necessary to come into industrial and information age. Allah only knows when we will rid ourselves of this pestilence.
