Aamir Liaqat is a Gustakh-e-Rasool chargeable for Blasphemy

Aamir Liaqat is a Gustakh-e-Rasool and he should run like Junaid Jamshed

I consider Aamir Liaqat Show as anti-Pakistani as well as anti-Muslim.

This man must be nailed for blasphemy, he is a gustaakh-e-rasool and by association GEO TV is gustaakh-e-Rasool and the other three Mualana's as well. 

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a mercy to mankind. Geo TV, Liaqat and those irresponsible men are a Zulmat to fellow Pakistanis. Its an act of treason to bring afra-tafri to the nation. This is clear Gustakhi of Rahmatul Aalameen, peace be upon him. In ka bhi hashar Junaid Jamshed wala jaisay hona chahiye. 

After making an example of these men, Blasphemy law needs to be repealed. It goes against the character of the Prophet. 

The show may produce income, but lanat ho aisi kamayee per jo Pakistani ko le doobega. I do hope the Geo executives realize how dangerous these shows are? How long will you fool the Pakistani people by pitting one against the other. No one gets fed or clothed with this non-sense. Shame on this man Liaqat and the team who are hell bent on destroying Pakistan from within. 

The world condemns Fox news for being anti-minority, but even they follow certain limits, how is Geo any better? Keep doing this, you will sink yourselves. Public get sick of these men.

Countering Geo TV’s hateful show

World Muslim Congress

These loonies are spreading hatred for fellow Pakistanis. Aaj Ahmadi, kal Shia, purson bina-daadi aur bina burqay walay sunni, and turson jo bhi un ki tarah namaz nahin padta.

Islam is not based on hating the other, but based on being a rahmat to others and being an Amin of the society. 

News quote, "Pakistani's largest TV network GeoTV has once again incited hatred against Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in its morning show "Subh e Pakistan" which aired on 22nd Dec 2014 and was hosted by Aamir Liaquat who hosted a similar program in 2008 which resulted in the murder of 3 Ahmadis in Pakistan."

Unless an alternative is offered to the public, they will continue to believe what is dished out to them to the detriment of Islam and Pakistan.    

We need to produce counter videos – depicting the Rahmat of the Prophet and beneficence of the creator God for the whole humanity.

We need volunteer actors to look like these men including Liaqat with similar set up as if produced by Geo.  Let the public decide what message is right – divisive or one based on Prophet’s Rahmat. In the titles we will disclose the purpose – it is to highlight the values of Islam  

1. Rahmat

2. Justice

3. Forgiveness

4. Equality – Humility

5. Individual Responsibility

6. Caring for fellow beings

7. Respecting the otherness of others.

Hope Geo, Hum or the other guys will produce counter programs to let the public decide what is good for them.

Collectively, we are represented by every race, nationality, ethnicity, language, culture and religion. We see God as one, none and many and in every form; male, female, genderless and non-existent, being and non-being, nameless and with innumerable names.

It is a fulfillment of the vision of its founder Waqar Ali Khan, “to provide a platform for the Pakistani American community to voice their concerns on issues of importance to them” and since 1997 the program has been introducing role models in different spheres of American life. In the 20 minutes video presented at the program, it highlighted its work over the years, and it is quite impressive.

As a Dallasite, Indian American, and a pluralist*,  I welcome the spirit of the program. The recipients were Pakistani-Americans as well as one Indian American; the writer of this note. 

This is a good step forward by the Pakistani community on a national level to reach out to Pakistanis from around the nation.  

We welcome Safeer e Pakistan to Dallas, indeed we are a model Desi community in America. We have been blessed with multi-cultural and multi-nationalistic efforts in bringing people together. We have been doing this for a long time, starting with Desi Thanksgiving Celebrations, Asian News Magazine, Asian News Radio, Asian Chamber of Commerce, FunAsia Radio, Asian American Star, Radio Hot Pepper, Radio Azad, B Magazine and several others.

Despite being Americanized, we still have a few loud mouth Indian and Pakistani immigrants who do, and say things to hurt the delicate relations,  but gleefully do back flips to befriend Taiwanese, Mexicans, Russians, Japanese, Egyptians, Somalis or Brazilians, but resist befriending our own neighbors. They are deprived, and do not have anything good to say about the others, I pray for their enrichment. 

We are not alone in this short-sightedness; the Chinese-Taiwanese, Iranians-Saudi, North-South Korea, Israeli-Palestinians and others join us in our deficiencies, it is indeed human, but it is also human to build cohesive societies where no one has to live in fear of the other. If we are incapable of cleansing ourselves with prejudices against each other, then we should not expect the people back home to do it either. The spirit has to be global. It is in this spirit, I appreciate the work of Safeer-e-Paksitan program and the awards night.

As a Pluralist*, it is a joy for me to witness races, nationalities, religions and ethnicities fall the barriers between peoples and embrace each other.

In the interfaith weddings that I officiate, the latest ones being a Muslim-Jain and a Hindu-Christian weddings, I share this, “What the bride and groom have chosen to do, must be admired by one and all. In this divisive world, where people have difficulty in agreeing or getting along – they are setting a new standard. That is learning to respect the otherness of other and accepting the God given uniqueness of each other. They have additional differences; they both grew up in different religious traditions.”

The following was my short prepared acceptance speech in the given 2 minutes, but was shorted to 30 seconds due to time constraints.

Thanks to Geo TV, Waqar Ali Khan, Fatima Khan, Anjum Anwar, Naheed Raheel and Safeer-e-Pakistan team. I want to thank them for adding the interfaith category in the recognition. 

Pluralism and interfaith is our future, by the end of 2020, there will not be a major city in the America, and perhaps in the world, where you will not find people of different faiths working, eating, and doing social things together. We need to prepare ourselves for those situations to prevent possible conflicts and lay a good foundation for nurturing goodwill. Exclusive communities will become a thing of the past. 

Guess who pioneered the interfaith?

Indeed, it was Prophet Muhammad, the peace maker. He was perhaps the first spiritual master who was blessed to have lived amidst three to four different religious traditions. He lived his preaching, just as Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Nanak, and all the great teachers did. He had regular meetings at his Mosque with Jews, Christians and others to discuss and learn and share about each other’s religions.

He was following the words of Qur’an 49:13 (paraphrase) - the best among you is the one who makes an effort to know each other. There is a presumption that we don’t know each other, and most certainly we don’t. By knowing and learning and accepting each others as we are, we can create better societies – the product was the Madinah declaration initiated by the Prophet, where all people had their own religion to follow and practice without interference, it is almost a predecessor to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing freedom of religion. 

Of course, there will always be a tiny fraction of a percent of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Hindus and other who do not follow their own religion resulting in conflicts and false propaganda, but a majority of the people get the goodness of their religion.

Example after example, we can trace the essence of his work – conflict mitigation and goodwill nurturance, and respecting the otherness of others.

The recognition of interfaith work is owed to Prophet Muhammad and I thank you (Safeer-e-Pakistan) for honoring the work of the Prophet.
