No other news has drastic impact to countries miles away
from each other than the news of American Courts to legalize the same gender
marriage. It was the historic moment for United States of America but on other
hand it’s complete opposite to nature law. As a Muslim and part of an Islamic
state it will be always difficult to accept the law but it's not our right to
object the law of the other state and a civilization who rules aren't subjected
to religious certainties. May be for atheists it's very easy to accept to
change of nature law. Being a liberal, I
would have accepted this but even liberalism has its limit and that's when
religion comes in. To me, religion isn't just about prayers and hoping to get
place in heaven after life. It's about restrictive the human beings from
becoming evil spirit and oppose the nature. Nature always takes its revenge in
form of climactic change, natural disasters or any form. Nature is supreme
authority, legalizing gay marriages will definitely affect the human race
medically, mentally and governance wise and time will tell its effect on
American Evolution in future. Yet being right or wrong about the issue, I
couldn't deny the struggle for this movement. They have achieved something of
phenomenon in present society. Keeping aside their natural desires, it's a
movement showed to the world that humans are so influential beyond government
restrictions, law and enforcement that if there is true wish to accomplish
something they will acquire it. If marginally few numbers of people could
achieve this accomplishment that are neglected by society and seen differently
then why there is no rise and protest in Pakistan for numerous reasons from
load shedding to terrorism, Minority genocide to sectarianism genocide (Shia
& Ahmadis), Woman Rights to child labor, educational issue to health
issues, and many more. If LGBT movement can raise rainbow flag in America then
there should be a distinct flag in each and every street of Pakistan to stand
against the discrimination of human rights from day Pakistan came into
existence.

Racism In Disguise
According
to encyclopedia definition, Racism is defined as,
also called racialism, is generally
defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that reflect the racial worldview:
the ideology that humans are divided into separate and exclusive biological
entities called "races".
This ideology entails the belief that members of a race share a set of
characteristic traits, abilities, or qualities, that traits of personality,
intellect, morality, and other cultural behavioral characteristics are
inherited, and that this inheritance means that races can be ranked as innately superior/ inferior to others. It's
sad to say in Pakistan, it reaches to such without getting noticed in the
society. We all as a nation are either a part of racial actions or victim of
it. Recently, Luis Saurez (Liverpool Football player) taunted racism comments on Patric Evra(Manchester
United Football player) gained a lot of
publicity. Its exist every moment, every second in our society.
I think that the inception
of racism in Pakistan began in the theatres, where thousands of people would
applaud on the humourous jokes. This was not a serious offence although I think
it may hay kick started the trend of such dialogue. From school to
universities, where we so called literate people always form circles against the
dark skinned friend of ours and make witty jokes on him. It's like a natural gathering
of people against dark skinned people.
We always prefer to have more white skinned friends in our group. Even these
events are not restricted to students, teachers too are part of it. And often
in anger, they call dark skinned student with slangs ; "oye kaliya (blackie),
kalay (black), andheray (shadow),etc". I am witness of such events. We
will always notice that even students make racism jokes on teacher with dark
skin. The fact is that this is not a cause of deliberation but nonetheless we
have made a laughing stock out of the people who only share a different colour
from us.
Marriages in our society are also influenced by this act.
Families like to marry their son/ daughter with fair-skinned person. They don't
even consider the good qualities, education and character of the person. Fair-skinned
husband always have complaints about their dark-skinned wife and doesn't think
her as competent enough to go out with her, just because the people in society
would say ; "Look how dark her wife is?". I am extremely sorry to say
that nowadays often these women work in offices if they have fair-skinned colour.
Just examine the basic example: Have you
ever seen dark-skinned girls as bus hostess or air hostess?
I in particular can't define the extent of racism in our
society. I consider the current wave against Urdu speaking community( known
commonly as Muhajirs) from rest of Pakistani natives as racism. I consider it
racism, when people shy from a dark skin
man in a bus, restaurant and public places and they are treated just as low
class. I consider it racism when we separate people on the basis of Punjabis,
Sindhis, Pathan, Balochis. Most of us even don't know that we are so amalgamated
to the situation that we have accepted it as part of our society and we don't
even consider it as an issue. We must remind ourselves of the last sayings of
Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) : "You are no better than a red skinned person
nor a black but he who has fear of Allah (S.T) in his/her heart".

Call Me Extremist but Stop Homosexuality In Pakistan
Well, I watched
rally and support in USA and Europe, start getting the news, films and rally from
the neighbor India , now I can hear the noise in Pakistan as well: Right Of Homosexual.
There had been many cases of same sex marriages in Pakistan; ones which can be
read and seen on television (blah, blah news channel) and forced Islamic Republic of Pakistan to think about
it. As an Islamic country, it cannot be the part of constitution but are we true Islamic state?
What about our liberal image in West media? This is the issue sooner or later
our country has to deal with.
There was a social
gathering in US embassy in which Homosexuals community of Pakistan were invited
which causes an outrage among the religious parties. What was US motive in all that? We have
allowed India to distract our Indus culture through their media. Though It was
late call from Chief Justice Chaudary
Iftikar when he took a serious note and banned several Indian channel to put
aside the nation from being amalgamate with Indian culture( accurately Hinduism
philosophy). US embassy imposed the major threat to the society with Bisexual
issue. As I said earlier, We have to make a strong stand against US embassy.
When I talk about strong stand, many people will consider me as an extremist
and make me reference to Human rights and Liberalism : Right To Show What You Are!!
Coming on
the point that whether Homosexuality is an act of liberalism or extremism, I
think that it is not associated with either. When someone is not in control of
their sexuality then the purpose of their God given gender is lost. Being
bisexual is a totally a personal affair, and even supporting it. The very
concept of bisexuality has become an epidemic in recent years. It has been
accepted in some countries (States of President Obama) and in some it has
become an outrage which disrespects our moral creed. To any layman, homosexuality
would be considered blasphemous and I am one of them of course. Nature is not
forgiving and the act of bisexuality would be to change the course of nature
itself, which can be referred to as extremism. People now understand that
bisexuality is an open secret, so why shy away from it. Medically, it causes
the spread of viral diseases such as HIV. Its abandon in utmost religion and punishes defined
hereafter (esp. in Islam, Christianity, Judaism)
In the end, I
suggest that we have to consider the issue in future so why does not now? It's always better to stop the fire before it
gets too late. We can end the dilemma and make the strong statement to the world
and Muslim Countries that though we call ourselves liberal but we know the restrictions
in liberalism as a modern Islamic state.
