When everything is seen through the lens of religion, the consequences can be disastrous. (Sadly, something Mamakutty and the learned PAS religious leaders never really understood!!)
History has too many apt examples of religion mixing much with politics, leading to the decline of a nation. Pre-revolution Iran was a free, progressive society. Post, fundamentalist takeover, Iran of today is a land of pariahs , oppressive state with global sanctions against it.
Pakistan hurtling towards being a failed state by Abbas Nasir, Dawn.com
Pakistan has suffered immensely for choosing religion over a free democratic society. Christian crusades too hurt economies in medieval times. ISIS destroyed cities and economies wherever it went. Afghanistan is in a total economic mess under the Taliban strict religious rule.
Domestically, are we going to be another fine example where religion synergize with politics??? and destroy whatever we took years to build and preserve. A religion dominating everything, destroys economies and societies at large. We can finally make a wonderful nation, comprising the best aspects of all cultures, race and religions and become a global economic superpower.
# Soldier of Fortune (AD) ðŸ˜Whenever religion starts playing a more dominant role in politics, governance, culture and societal norms, there are bound to be major problems. We are destroying equality, justice and harmony, all essential to make a modern, progressive nation.
