War between Islamists and Seculars on Boom in Pakistan; Report

In Pakistan, lately there have been three cases that demand attention towards some of the important issues that are significant from religious perspective as well as part of the ethical norms of our society. It happened to occur that NUST had directed strict orders to its students to wear modest dress codes. Females students have been asked to wear Dupatta and less make up while men are advised to wear dress pants instead of tight jeans. Secondly, First nation’s gay website that got launched in the following year, in the month of June got blocked by PTA.

While, Faisalabad Cantonment College held its Training Undergraduate Teachers Aptitude Test, two weeks back. The female candidates wearing Abaya and Hijab were declined to appear for the test in the Islamic dress code, observing veil.

For every happening that takes place, there are supporters as well as opponents.  The two incidents might appear appreciable to majority of people; however the latter incident demands much criticism.

Secular groups raised questions and used bad words for the educational institutions who took the responsibility of ensuring discipline. Being an Islamic state, there needs to be certain rules and regulations for the students and the instructions by the government over the maintenance of ethics, norms and values of the society.

Surprisingly after the gay website got blocked many people began to call it against the freedom of expression. Do we as Muslims exercise the right to promote homo sexuality? Which Muslim country has made the action as legal?

Observance of veil is an obligation that falls on every Muslim lady. We being an Islamic State witnessed an incident where the local women were restricted to their appearance in the test because of fulfilling their commandment to ALLAH.

Displeasing is too seeing the silence of the courts or any politician over the happenings. If this is progress then we should slam calling ourselves as Muslims. Our media gives hype to irrelevant events but fails to impart the generation with better attributes.
