Bilawal won’t let Pak slip into ‘pre-Islamic Arab tribal culture’

Pakistan People’s Party Patron-In-Chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has termed slain former Punjab governor Salman Taseer ‘Martyr of Humanity’.

Bilawal believes Taseer was killed for showing sympathy in a society while being under threat of ‘blood-thirsty extremists devoid of spiritually’.

On the 3rd Martyrdom Day Anniversary of Salman Taseer, Bilawal said the country was under danger of being dragged into the ‘pre-Islamic Arab tribal culture’.

He pledged that his party, together with all other democratic forces, will struggle for true Islamic teaching and values of tolerance and respect to humanity as per the spirit of Meesaq-e-Madina.

Bilawal said Muslims should take guidance from the Quraan instead of the ‘half-literate’ mullahs and pointed towards Surat An-Nisa quoting, “And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, ‘Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?’”
