It’s a mind set in to explaining things or events by going beyond the same things and events.

That is, it places itself at the exterior of a thing or an event, and sees it from there, and instead of explaining it scientifically in parts or philosophically as a whole, so to say, explains it in a causal relation to “something / someone else” existing outside of it.

Such a mind takes things in their totality and explains them away once and for all as absolutely caused by A, or B, or C, etc, where A, B, C, etc, may be a humanoid entity or a personified entity.

Such a mind is so impatient and intolerant towards things or events that it cannot wait for them to unravel, and / or then know them slowly and gradually, and thus in haste ascribes their happening to this

Another interesting cartoon published in Pakistan Observer today casts doubts on Tahir-ul-Qadri’s demands.

Here is the report:

“Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) has issued orders to arrest Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf in Rental Power case, Geo News reported. The SC directed the authorities concerned to arrest 16 accused including the prime minister after presenting challan within 24 hours. The chief justice ordered that all concerned, regardless of their rank, who have been booked in the case be arrested and if someone leaves the country, then chairman of NAB (anti-corruption watchdog) will be held responsible along with his investigating team,” lawyer Aamir Abbas told AFP. “The sixteen include Raja Ashraf,” said Abbas, referring to Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf.”

Should it be so?

Is it constitutional?

Is it moral?

If it is not constitutional for the Pakistan Army to go against the dictates of the Constitution, and the politicians of any hue to do the same, how can it be justified for Tahir-ul-Qadri of the “Tehreek-e-Minhaj-ul-Quran” to demand the ouster of a constitutionally elected government?

In poetry, it came to be known as ‘personification’ or embodiment: attributing human form, personality, and characteristics to things animate or inanimate. [2] Here in poetry, personification is taken, and made use of as an effective vehicle of poeticizing; and, rather, extolled as one of the finest artifices of poetic argument. Clearly, personification, never claiming to be real and understood literally, aims at achieving poetic accomplishment and beauty.

In folk lore, animism disguises itself in various ways, and has a fatalistic bend. Either it is ’ہونی‘ (That what is destined),

Does any mission justify trampling of humans and human values?  

Yes, in fact, when violence is resorted to and rules are not followed, and this or that ideology or system of thought vies for “supremacy / hegemony” (“acceptance”) not through debate and discussion, and when any mission (Ends) puts the Means on the back burner; in short, when peaceful

Both believe in violence as the most effective instrument of their policy!

Both believe in killing innocent citizens in lieu of their human and institutional targets!

Both are ruthless!

Both are ideologically robotic!

As for Taliban’s ruthlessness, it is well-established and well-known. See this piece and watch the video the link to which is given in the report:

“They are dead men talking, and they know it. Gulping nervously, the prisoners stare into the video camera, spilling tales of intrigue, betrayal and paid espionage on behalf of the United States. Some speak in trembling voices, a glint of fear in their eyes. Others look resigned. All plead for their lives.”

First, this treatise derives its rationale and insight from a reading of the constitution of Pakistan which considers the fundamental rights and the articles protecting these rights and freedoms as the core value of the constitution, as the same has time and time again been vindicated by the various judgments of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Second, this treatise looks beyond those articles and books, or that specific approach, which analyze the democratic failure of Pakistan in a historical, sociological, economic, or political perspective only or in a way combining them all, and

“I saw a report on electronic media the other day which made a reference to an audit report that 51 vehicles were being used by Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmed Bilour so he has asked his auditors to verify this report,” he told the PAC which met Thursday with its head Nadeem Afzal Gondal in the chair.
