Islamic values and secularism
This is in response to Mr. Saleh Ayub who wrote something about Islamic values in this page recently. I wonder whether he is aware of the four principles of our constitution. He has failed to understand the real meaning of secularism and has no idea about our culture. Secularism does not mean that obscene dance shows can be arranged in a country where nearly 90 percent of the total population is Muslim. What is more, our culture is different from that of Europe. It is true that in the present times it is difficult to follow Islamic rules strictly for many reasons, but should we not believe in Allah the Almighty? Should we forgo the Islamic values in the name of modernism, secularism or something else?
