A biology
professor in Pakistan has issued a public apology for teaching Charles Darwin's
theory of evolution, raising concerns about growing extremism, freedom of
expression and the free exchange of scientific ideas in Pakistan, the Express
Tribune reported.
Sher Ali,
who is assistant professor of Biology at the Government Post Graduate College
of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, made his apology official by issuing it on a
stamp paper.
Pakistan is
doomed. Islam and its Thekedaar Maulvis have totally destroyed Pakistani
society. That in this century, a biology teacher has to apologise for teaching
Darwin's theory of evolution is a sign of extreme primitivism and pathological
religiosity. The ever-growing fanaticism among the Muslims of Pakistan is
obvious.
Its cricket
team is also showcasing Islam in a blatant manner. Danish Kaneria, the second
Hindu cricketer to play for Pakistan, recently tweeted that a Pakistani
cricketer urged a Sri Lankan cricketer to embrace Islam and that too, on the
ground! He told the Sri Lankan that he (Sri Lankan) would directly go to heaven
if he accepted Islam. When the Sri Lankan said nothing, the Pakistani cricketer
told him, "Brace yourself for eternal hellfire." Danish himself faced
discrimination for being a Hindu in a team comprising all Muslim players. Many
of his teammates refused to share meals with him for being a Kafir.
In the
ongoing World Cup matches, Pakistani cricketers are flaunting their religious
zeal. One batsman offers Namaz after hitting a ton. Yet another sits on
the pitch and offers Namaz after scalping a fifer. The International
Cricket Council should take cognizance of this and send the entire team back to
Pakistan.
Islam has
become so deep-seated in the psyche of Pakistani Muslims (now Indian Muslims as
well) that they just cannot survive without showing their allegiance to Allah,
Islam and Muhammad. Every sentence of a Pakistani Muslim has a religious hue.
A few days
ago, I was watching a famous Pakistani YouTuber's recipe for Lahori fish Kabab.
Believe you me, in his 13-minute long clip, he uttered Alahamdulillah
(praise be to god/Thank god) not once, twice or thrice; he said it 46 times!
" Alhamdulillah, Macchli Ko Saaf Kar Leejiye, Alhamdulillah, Ab Uski
Botiyan Banaiye, Alahamdulillah Ek Chammach Pisi Mirch Daaliye........every
sentence had Alhamdulillah ! Why should Allah be mentioned constantly and irritatingly
in a simple recipe for Kabab? Will your Allah be angry if you don't
utter its name all the time?
This sick
religious psyche is very dangerous. It infects and pollutes all. When religion
blocks the brains of people, they act in this inebriated manner. Indians
(Muslims as well as Hindus) are becoming like Pakistanis and showing their
mental sickness in public. The sooner all man-made bogus religions are wiped
out from the face of the earth, along with their heaps of gods, the better
it'll be for mankind. But is there any sane voice to show solidarity with the
atheists, apatheists and rationalists?
