Human rights take over National Security

Terror-suspects, Abid Naseer and Ahmed Faraz can not be deported for their own safety, the court ruled.
A few months back a Pakistani origin Muslim boy who was a British national as well was kidnapped from Pakistan during a family trip to the home country. One needs not to get into the details and find out how seriously the British authorities took the case. It was one life; just another immigrant Pakistani Muslim kid, but the authorities went the extra-mile and recovered the kid. This is only one of the countless …

The Tragedy with Ahmediya Movement

The Ahmadiyya movement often referred to as Qadianism was founded in the Muslim village of Qadian in the Punjab in 1889 by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He claimed to be the mahdi, a figure expected by some Muslims at the end of the world, as well as the Christian messiah an incarnation of the Hindu god Krishnam and more.

How better defense is possible without nukes?

I have been reading Asghar Khan’s “We’ve learnt nothing from History“. For those who don’t know, Asghar Khan was a fighter pilot and served as the head of PAF and later PIA.

Allama Iqbal – Is he still relevant?

Is Allama Iqbal relevant to us?
Given the current turmoil, which has made it abundantly clear that the people of Pakistan desire a truly representative democratic civilian order, the question above has become very relevant.

2. How and why did Iqbal become the national poet and philosopher of Pakistan?
3. What has been the nature …

Was Iqbal a Socialist ?

By Fahd/Commoner
Many of Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s poems testify to his sincere interest in the teachings of socialism. He was drawn to socialism by the thought of unity and equality of mankind and the principle of the division of material goods according to the needs of the members of the society. On the other hand, Iqbal was unable to accept a materialistic view of the world and the scientific dialectical methods with which socialism was inevitably linked. In this he was influenced by his deep religious faith and undoubtedly also by …
