Sharia Law In United Kingdom

By Sikander Hayat

There is over emphasis in the British media about the implementation of sharia law in Uk. The debate has been started by a Christian but Muslims have been entangled in the resultiing fiasco.
First of all, the law in discussion will not apply to any non muslim so any scare mongering on that front is completely wrong.
Saying that, I as a Muslim do not want any parts of sharia law to be implemented in UK for the following reasons.
Muslims who live in UK have come from countures where sometimes freedoms are curtailed, so they do not want that repeated in this country as well.
Any changes to the current UK law should only happen as they ussually happen. When a part of law is found to be redundant, it is replaced with another sensible law which takes its crdence from the pople of the country , not some devine power.
I belive in God, but I do not belive in an Islamic, Christain ,Jewish or for that matter God belonging to any any organized form of religion. This so called God of organized religion has been abused by the peole who claim to speak for him and this must stop. A UK move towards sharia law albeit only for muslims is a step exactly in the wrong direction.
Tabloid press in England is playing with fire by stoking anger gainst muslims in UK. Muslims already are living under a climate of fear in most western countries and a debate started by a Christain should not have been used for mudslinging at muslims of this country.

Mir Chakar Khan Rind - A Warrior Hero Of Baluchistan & Punjab Provinces of Pakistan

By Sikander Hayat The areas comprising the state of Pakistan have a rich history and are steeped in the traditions of martial kind. Tribes which are the foundation stone of Pakistan come from all ethnic groups of Pakistan either they be Sindhi, Balochi, Pathan or Punjabi. One of these men of war & honour were Mir Chakar Khan Rind. He is probably the most famous leader coming out of Baloch ethnic group of Pakistan. Mir Chakar Khan Rind or Chakar-i-Azam (1468 – 1565 ) was a Baloch king and ruler of Satghara in (Southern Pakistani Punjab) in the 15th century. He is considered a folk hero of the Baloch people and an important figure in the Baloch epic Hani and Sheh Mureed. Mir Chakar lived in Sibi in the hills of Balochistan and became the head of Rind tribe at the age of 18 after the death of his father Mir Shahak Khan. Mir Chakar's kingdom was short lived because of a civil war between the Lashari and Rind tribes of Balochistan. Mir Chakar and Mir Gwaharam Khan Lashari, hea...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
