February 2004, one of the disturbing social phenomena I observed was the
rise of religious intolerance.

Dear Khalid,
I read your impressions. They are absolutely on the spot. Your diagnosis is also
accurate. it would be good to share it widely. The question is what can rectify
the situation.

While I am quite aware of his keen desire to achieve
"salvation", as speedily as possible, however, I would like to
disagree with the sermonized style of rendering his ideas. While at personal
level, I may agree with some of his assertions, but can never endorse his
"profound effort" to establish the "finality" of what he
likes to say

Dr. Sohail has listed 7
numbered items to describe various social, religious and economical ills that he

I
felt very much disturbed by the myopic point of view presented by Hesham
Syed. This Islam of sin, good and evil has brought down Muslims to a

direct source for this situation. You do not mention

I certainly agree with Dr.Sohail
that religious intolerance and violence are rising in Pakistani
society. I think our public education system has an important role
in rising religious intolerance and violence in Pakistani society.

Dear
Mr. Ahsan,
Your
groundless assumption for my religious denomination based on my name
which I had no control over, hence, nothing to do) and your uncalled-for
interest in my personal religious views reflect the kind of ideological
isolation and narrowness typical Muslims of 21st century are
unfortunately going through.

I would like to suggest to those of you
who consider Dr. Sohail to be “godless”,
“anti-religion”, and “pseudo-intellectual”, to ponder on a few points
regarding religion in general and Dr. Sohail
in particular. more
