Mona lisa opnely admitted on Aag she drinks frequently and she said she thought nothing was wrong with it.I live in the UK and i;ve never even been tempted to drink because my relfion doesnt allow it.On geo Pakistan on the new years show they showed clippings of people partying for new years.and sometimes they spoke about partying.I wanted to ask is there really now clubs and things in pakistan?
Are the youth really heading this way?
Is alcohol openly available.If it is then what the heck.It's an islamic state what the heck happend
Also in many dramas they show drinking like it is usual which is annoying. THERE IS NO NEED FOR IT IN OUR DRAMAS!dramas such askinaraand many more i cant even think of.Iwonder if they drink real alchol but the bottle is always real :\! i am confused to whats going on
Im a Brit-Pak Muslim too, also 20 but I've never been to Pakistan. I've always wanted to visit but my parents have always been pretty hesitant in letting me.
My dad has always told me that you'll find two extemes in Pakistan. In the poorer areas and villages people tend to be embroiled in family politics but won't drink and/or wear revealing clothes etc as much. Wheras in the cities like Lahore you will find Muslims who are immensley more westernised than any Pakistanis living in Britain/America, and drinking, clubbing, dating, dressing promiscuously is normal for them.
I also found it shocking. I mean when I was still at school I always felt like an outsider because nearly all the muslims in my year used to drink and date so I didn't make friends because of that and I had this delusion that my beliefs and personality would fit more with Pakistan but after what my dad told me I think Pakistani's living abroad are actually more mindful of their religion than those in the Pakistani cities.
Although I will say Pakistan is NOT an Islamic state and it never was. One of things Jinnah and Ghandi disagreed on is the validity of a religious state. Ghandi said (if I remember right) state and religion should be one. Whereas Jinnah was of the opinion that religion should not have any bearing whatsoever on government. I actually agree with this I hate to say it, but Pakistan being made a religious state would only cause more problems, it will make room for corrupt religious politics to further flourish within the government. It's why the country's in a mess now, people like Zardari oppress the citizens by twisting Sharia while comitting all kinds of sins behind the scenes (fraud, drinking, assasinations). Which is why I;m praying Imran Khan wins the freakin elections. He won't make it an Islamic state and he'll at least try to rectify the mess the country has become. Honestly I disagree with muslims drinking alcohol - for obvious reasons, but it is NOT Pakistan's biggest problem and putting a ban on alcohol isn't the solution. In the grand scheme of things it shouldn't be worried about. As long as we follow our religion - who cares what everyone else is doing.
