Dear Friends:

 

In the course of our discussion, few very important statements/questions have come up that deserve further attention. May I copy the name of authors followed by questions? Obviously anybody could try on those questions including their authors.

 

Jawaid Chaudhry (Virk): There has never been a religious war. Is it correct?

 

Hassan Mirza: “…she is able to transform the inherited fire of humanity from a flame to a tulip”. If it is true, how would to explain mother-in-law and daughter-in-law phenomena and many other situations like that?

 

Javed I. Chaudry: Sure there is a long history of wars, but am I correct to understand you as if it is your opinion that religion has been cause of no war and no suffering?

 

Dr. Alikhan: It will be interesting to read your views. “…male sees the overall picture, a female concentrates on the microscopic details” Please elaborate on endocrine-psycho-biology.

 

Rashid Mughal: “violence, whether inner, outer or otherwise, springs from within the individual self”. Sure, the question is WHY does it [violence] spring from "self"?

 

Subuhi: Patriarchical Deity – Is it mere a coincidence? Any ideas, why there was evolution of patriarchic and not matriarchic deity? Please help us understand this better.

 

Rafi Aamer’s question to all: “…is there such a thing out there that can be called “justifiable violence”? There was another interesting idea in the post also: Moral violence?

 

Million dollar question that was raised by Mr. Aziz Ahmad: “Do laws and justice system of a society have a bearing on violence in that society”? I think a question could not have been more real and more profound!

 

Thank you for sharing your insight.
