Today in the whole world, especially in
Pakistan, are the noise and slogans for the reforms of moderation. And our
leaders are constantly busy in reaffirming to America that Pakistan is in
agreement with your “bright” and “positive” agenda and soon our society will be
a noted example of a “bright future”. In this situation, it is important to
understand what is the reality and what the motives are of America’s “bright”
agenda. The American “bright” agenda is in full implementation in the West but
it has not yet conquered and taken over all of mankind. Recently, Rand
Corporation, which is the American thinktank and which also gives it’s opinions
to the Defence Department of America has given some opinions in which it states
that: (1) Those people who consider Islam to be their deen (way of life) instead
of a mere religion are our prime enemies. They have to be eradicated by any
means. (2) The traditionalist religious scholars who undertake the role of imam
and who give religrous sermons have to be entangled in sectarian disputes
because at any time they can team up with fundamentalist people and prove as
danger for us. (3) The modernist Muslims should be given access to the print and
electronic mediums. (4) Secularist people are in our fellowship from the
beginning and so the traditionalist and fundamentalist religious scholars have
to be eradicated and the modernist and secularist people have to be supported
[1]. The question of observing hijab and with-holding respect does not at all
arise due to the “bright” agenda. In the social system, this agenda has already
covered atleast half the world although there is some presence and trace of
shame and modesty in Asia and Africa and the family system is still persistent
to some extent. A remarkable movement is taking place by America and the West on
the subject of “A bright future and positivism” so that we also become like
them. Infact, we become so liberal and “positive” that if the wife undergoes
illegal sexual intercourse then she keeps doing it, it’s her choice.
If the son and daughter are bachelors (unmarried), so what? Though the elite
class in Muslim countries have already been set in these colors. That is, the
high-class citizens have adopted the acts of non-observance of hijab,
exploitation, explicitness and free choice of gender (including homosexuality).
In the “bright” American agenda, you can fulfill your sexual desires by any
means, the only prerequisite is the acceptance of choice from either sides.
Forced sex is included in unlawful acts but willful sex is not included in any
kind of law violations. Due to this “bright’ agenda, the family system got
destroyed and the parents removed their chidlren from their homes after the
lawful age of maturity. Be you a boy or a girl, earn and eat yourself. If we had
a responsibility, then it was only till a specified period.
Then it’s obvious what kind of ‘concern’ the children would have towards
their parents. As a result, in the American and European societies, the mother
and father are sent to ‘Old Houses’ upon reaching their old-ages. For the
implementation of their views, the West upheld a Population Control Conference
at Egypt in 1994 and the next year in Beijing whose agenda was based on
“positive thinking” i.e. the liberation of women. After this, in June 2000, the
Beijing Plus 5 Conference took place in which it was proposed that prostitution
should be considered as a ‘respectful’ profession. Secondly, homosexuality, be
it lesbianism or sodomy should be taken in normal orientation and should not be
considered bad. Then the case that ‘women and men are equal’, their voting will
be equal and the women will also be granted equal rights to give divorce. Then
she can also demand money from her husband for taking care of her home-related
and miscellaneous responsibilities because in a way she, is the ‘labourer’ of
her husband. She can also demand money if she opts to undergo the pain during
birth.
So this is America’s “bright and positive” agenda which is being brought
in front of us and it has been given the beautiful name of “Social Engineering”
i.e. we have to have a new interpretation of the world’s social system and the
General Assembly of the United Nations has favoured and accepted this programme
and the “Islamic Republic of Pakistan” is also included in the list of countries
which signed the pact. Pakistan is the country which is quickly striving to
implement on this agenda. The current government has granted women a
representation of 33% at all levels which is not to be found in any democracy of
the world, even in India. In this way, Pakistan is leading the rest in the race
for the fulfillment of America’s “bright and positive” agenda. The United
Nations and the American Government give millions in funding to the NGOs in
Pakistan for the implementation of this agenda. Recently at a church in an
American state, a woman named Ameena Wudood has performed the role of imam to
the gathering of both men and women, to which the Western media has given much
coverage. While according to the learned peoples of every school of
jurisprudence of Islam, a woman can neither be a muezzin (the one who gives the
call to prayer) nor an imam for the males. In the Hadi’th (the sayings of the
Prophet), the women have only been given permission to lead the collective
prayers of females, that also with some conditions.
They want to create inbalances in our family system by shouting out the slogans
of ‘equality of men and woman’ via the Social Engineering programme. And through
these NGOs, a new educational system is being brought in the country in which
most of the focus is also towards the case to trigger the thought in students as
to why we should be under the ‘rule’ of parents or husbands. The last stage of
this agenda has reached to its extremes in the West i.e. to free men and women
from the relation of marriage and the birth of children without marriage i.e.
the birth of bastards. A few years back, America’s former President, Bill
Clinton, had said in a gathering that “Soon the majority of our nation will be
based upon bastards”. Infact his exact words were “Born without any wedlock”
i.e. the birth of bastards without marriage. After full implementation in
itself, the superpower of America wants to impose this agenda on the rest of the
world by giving it the label of “Bright and Positive Thinking”. This is the very
reason why President Bush says we want to “modernize” Asia. Some laws of
Shari’ah (religious laws) are in implementation in Arabia. Iran has done so. The
family system is strong in Pakistan and there is the abiding by to offering
salaah (prayers) and fasting at the public level, so this will be the
degradation of secularism. So all these have to be finished. Our leaders should
take to their consciousness and have to think over the fact that the
“civilization” we want to implement on our country by being America’s slaves is
itself dying in Europe and the West.
