All these religious sects, and all these mullahs, all these decrees and all these claims, were the reasons why the founder of this country wanted it to be secular state. Would our scholars and learned people on TV channels and newspapers now start explaining what secularism is and that it’s not against any religion or a sect, so that people know that it can be a blessing not a sin!

Wishful thinking for the present at least for 20 years. However, one may hope that in future this could be gradually implemented. There are so many masjids all around and most of masjids have as many as 08 big loadspeakers. Government should make legislation to restrict number of load speaker upto one or two for each Masjid. There should be no sermon but only prayers.

Go to a library of Pakistan federal documents. The Imams are employees of the government, paid by auqaf department. They have become out control due to lack of supervision. The politicians have used them or the imams have taken advantage bein friend of politicians.

Pakistan has one the best trained Islamic scholars in the world. Imam is a seperate issue. The governments since dictator Zia has encouraged imams to spread garbage and beseless information to the devotees. Yes education is a issue, especialy religious information based on Islamic teaching.
We as a nation were and still are vry tolarent. We were a secular society and still are. People like you make a statement which is nothing but assumption only. Go and meet the silent majority, of the city population which is 80 % of the population. You will change your thinking.

With the amount of unverified material available on social networking websites going around as authentic religious word I won’t be surprised at all that the most dangerous will be most higly rated and people with a different view may end up being targeted in some way or another. Internet usage has its benefits but a big red label of caution with it. But we have to change somewhere. My father tells me that when the loudspeakers were initiated very early on all the religious tola considerd it to be the voice of shaitan till they realised that they could use it to drown the others voice…..then suddenly shaitan vaporised and entered the amplification of ones own voice as an explanation. I dont expect this suggestion to go down any differently. The issue is not that who will be rated highly. The issue is that the one rated low ( if ever !) will call the rest infidels and kharij from deen without looking inward and considering a change in actions. It is the subsequent change in low rated people to improve their rating based on others opinion that makes these sites successful and that requires tolerance.

Imams leading the prayers should be well educated,well versed and able to communicate effectively.They should be held at higher standards as other professions.

“It is time to judge those who have been judging us.” In theory you are absolutely right. But who will bell the cat. You have mentioned that they are armed with loud speakers and weapons. Who will put his/her life at risk. I don,t know how long you have been in Toronto but certainly you have mistaken us for Malala and Dr Faruq. Not everyone stands by the truth in this land of pure.
