Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday lashed out at political opponents, reassuring his supporters that he stands opposed to those who are “secular” or “non-believing”.
He was addressing a gathering of supporters in Saroba, Punjab.
“Some political parties criticise me for raising my voice for the principles of Islam. If you are proud of being secular; of being non-believers, then I am proud to be pro-Islam,” he remarked.
“I will also support all those people who, in light of their religion (Islam), are wrongly criticised or accused,” he said.”If you go out with a beer, you are unlikely to come across good people. These days, there is no differentiation between Halal and Haram; only money talks, power talks.”
Talking about the West, Nisar said: “The source of terrorism is the West considering every bearded man and hijab-wearing woman as being a terrorist. Unless the West changes this attitude, there will be no control over terrorism.”
“I am a straight talker. I talk straight even with my own party leadership,” he said.
“I have been in politics for 35 years and many times, people have tried to buy me by offering me different positions. With the grace of God, I never sold out,” he passionately added.
“People these days campaigning for ‘change’; do not listen to them,” he said, adding change could not be expected from people who have pillaged the country.
What is wrong in being a secular. I practice better Islam here in a secular state and more over the system in more Islamic then most muslim countries.
true , there is a difference between secular and radicalised , i prefer to be secular and live by islamic values but at the same time let others enjoy their freedom rather than enforce me ideology on them , i think mr roundabout needs to understand the difference between secularism and radicalism, i think he is the latter.
You are absolutely right.there is no difference between Islamism and secularism. radicalism is something different.But who talked about radicalism?
