The clarion call by the Saudis to bomb Iran is sending shockwaves throughout the Muslim world. It is also strange to accept the Israeli stance on their nuclear policy. Israel says that it has the right to own hundreds of nuclear bombs, but other regional governments in the Middle East are not entitled to even enriching uranium. ...

The Pakistan army''s vaulting mission to remain the most powerful actor in Pakistani politics has received irreparable setbacks in the last few years. This is due to the onset of several new factors in the country''s body politic determining the direction of political change in the future. The recent failures of the Pak army have downgraded its stock with Pakistanis. ...

Given all this, one might be forgiven for overlooking the fact that it was a woman who played the central role in initiating the Egyptian revolution. Arab women not only took to the streets during the uprisings, they were also active in the media and in the organization of protests. ...

पाकिस्तान को शिद्दत से तालीम की ज़रूरत है जो सामाजिक रूप से ज़िम्मेदार, फिक्रमंद और अच्छी तरह बाखबर लोग पैदा करे और वो ऐसी मानसिकता के मालिक हों जो देश की भाषाओं, संस्कृतियों और धर्मों की विविधता को आसानी से स्वीकार कर सकते हों। मकसद में ज़रूरी महारत और इल्म की ऐसी सतह शामिल होना लाज़िमी है जो रोज़गार और आधुनिक समाज में योगदान के काबिल बना सके। इमरान खान की जज़्बाती भाषणबाज़ी इससे छुटकारा नहीं दिलायेगी। ...

یقینی طور پر  بین مذہبی اختلافات اور مسائل، برا بھلا کہنے اور مختلف قسم کے  تشددکے سمیت، صرف اسلامی  روایت تک ہی محدود نہیںہے۔ دیگر مذہبی روایات میں بین مذہبی مکالمے کی پیش رفت اورمذہب سے متاثر شدہ تشدد، بدسلوکی اور بیان بازی  کی رو ک تھام  ہمیں بھی امید دیتی ہے اور ہماری حوصلہ افزائی کرتی ہے کہ مسلمان کی حیثیت سے ہم بھی ایسا کر پانے کے قابل ہیں۔ تاہم، مستقبل میں کیا ہو گا اس کا انحصار بڑی حد تک اس بات پر ہے کہ ہم کس طرح بین مسلم مکالمے کے تصور کو عملی جامہ پھناتے ہیں۔

During the pre-classical period of Islamic thought the Qurʾān and Sunnah discourse was considered to be organically intertwined or symbiotically interdependent as these two sources were conceptualized as a single, coherent hermeneutic unity. Furthermore, they were not textually fixed and were often understood as more abstract ethico-religious concepts whose purpose was to facilitate the benefit t of the community....

It is a well-known fact that Qur''an, Sunnah and to a large extent hadith have been used as the principal sources of Islamic thought from its very genesis. The claims of the utmost importance in following the Qur''an and Sunnah, and hadith as their primary interpretational vehicle, as the most authentic and legitimate, if not the only, epistemological and methodological parameters governing Muslim intellectual discourses have been echoed throughout the entire Islamic intellectual experience. ...

School syllabi demand it, but even then few young Pakistanis want to study science subjects and still fewer want to become scientists. Many generations have found science so odiously dull that they are now indifferent — even hostile — to a subject that stands at the very pinnacle of human understanding and progress. Contrast this with India. Surveys show that school students see science as the most prestigious and glamorous career to pursue. For them Einstein, Stephen Hawking, black holes, genes, etc. is the way to go. ...

In the past, the country’s ethnically dominant civil-military establishment failed to maintain control over East Pakistan through the use of weapons and we all know what happened as a result of that. Now, most regrettably, the same disastrous prescription is being applied to Balochistan. Of course, the elite of Pakistan — and I include the liberal intellectuals in this — do not seem to take the possibility of the province going its own way too seriously. ...

Atrocities against the Baloch have come to be accepted as a normal state of affairs by all and even the inhumanly gruesome murder of Brahamdagh’s sister and niece has evoked minimal response from civil society or the media. Murdering women to settle scores is the lowest ebb that establishments can reach and it has been reached here. ...

Is it true that the Bible teaches peace and the Koran war? Only if you approach the books selectively, taking the gentlest of Jesus'' teachings and setting them against the harshest of Muhammad''s. Philip Jenkins''s challenging new book Laying Down the Sword shows that the Bible contains incitements not just to violence but also to genocide. ...

According to the agreement, hundreds of Sunni families displaced by fighting were to be repatriated to their homes in Parachinar. The two sides were to constitute a committee to settle other petty issues. Display of arms in Parachinar city was banned, and a fine of PKR one million was to be imposed on violators. ...
