If you read Ayaz Amir's latest farticle, you will realize that there was full justification in his disqualification.
This could be such an exciting country (Yeah! Could be a blast).
Here are snippets of his rantings that prove that he is not Islamic enough and paki-centric enough to stand for elections to the greatest majlis allah has ever ordered. In short he blasphemed himself to become eligible as a wajib-ul-cutlet in no time. He even chose an email ID that defies the tenets of islam.
Some daughters of Venus look stunning...
Pakistan.., requiring not the addition of new things but just a decent haircut (too much hair on its face), a proper wash... and, to stretch the point a bit, some de-worming and de-lousing...just basic hygiene
Civilisation began here, in the Indus Valley...
We are not one race. We are an amalgam of different races...
...if only in some respects we could begin our journey of nationhood anew.
What are our chief national characteristics? Alas, nothing more inspiring at present than intolerance and a proclivity for stupidity that at times appears almost supernatural. Why are we so bad at the study of history?
Which other country in the world, apart from Iran, would have such clauses as Articles 62 and 63 of our constitution in their charter of national duties, prescribing a code of morality for parliamentary candidates?
...under the garb of Islamisation.
How would he (Djinnah) react to Articles 62 and 63, and the frantic interpretations being put on them by a frenzied horde of self-appointed muftis and guardians of the faith? Every society has its share of outright fools, holding forth as if they have a direct line to heaven, but few societies give fools such a free rein as we seem to do.
...the time had come to do away with Zia’s hatchet-work, thus at one stroke removing his constitutional innovations...not only 62 and 63 but much else besides.
A pack of paper-tigers...
What if time had stood still in 1977 and Zia’s coup had not happened...Karachi would have become the Dubai...
The people who make up this land, the vast majority of them, are not Salafist firebrands and will never be, not now, not ten thousand years from now. The Islam of Pakistan, the Islam of India and the Sub-continent, is not the Islam of Salafist warriors, funded by outside dollars, but the Islam spread and propagated by Ali bin Usman Hajweri, Nizamuddin Aulia, and Moinuddin Chishti.
The Islamic culture that developed in India, and whose epitome was the culture of Delhi...The Salafism transported from the Arabian desert has nothing in common with this sensibility.
And what is called the ideology of Pakistan, what is it?
