"PEACE & VIOLENCE"

 

        Syed I. Haider

It is a very balanced and well written article, that takes into account almost every aspect of the subject, except the traditional religious kind of Qazi's  fatwas. The arguments were carried so smoothly to their logical conclusion that need for fatwas did not arise, otherwise Qazi sahib's name had the full allowance for that. Democracy the word being used more often than God

 seems to be the "new religion" of new colonialism and prejudices, corruption and bloodshed being carried out in its name is no less than any other systems tried by the human history. If any thing does not go in the favour of one single powerful nation on this earth then the opinion of the majority of nations does not matter. It still remains a musical chair game of the Multimillionaires for the Multimillionaires and and has not been able to provide the expected benefits to people of this earth by the people of this earth. 

Unless democracy provides Global Justice for whole Mankind. Not for just one class of people in one nation and their rules of justice would not change for any colour or origin, the democracy will not succeed. There has to be some other way. Blind following of West or East, Priest or Politicians is equally destructive. The pitiable situation today is that the media rules with half fabricated stories..

I congratulate Dr. Qazi for carrying his arguments so gracefully.
