Mian Aslam sent following three questions and some comments on TFUSA.

If TF USA is to be an inter-active congress of thinkers, the members must participate and offer their opinion, instead of  being voyeuristic onlookers while just a few specific members keep writing as a display sport. There comes a time to be blunt and forth right instead of continuing to be hypocritically polite and quiet. Now is that time. Please invite the House to come forth and come clean. These are some controversies that do not entail deep intellectual ruminations, but require simple understanding of history and realization whether history has been distorted and/or retrofitted to suit the agenda of vested interests. Lets offer an exercise like this ?

In the opinion of TF members :

1. Who was more insightful and far-sighted between Jinnah and Azad ? Why ?

2. Who was more keen to break-away ; Bhutto or Mujib ? Why ?

3. Who was the usurper ? Jinnah for making a Secular Pakistan instead of a Islamic Republic against the alleged wishes of Muslims of Muslim majority areas, or, did the Islamists hi-jack Secular Pakistan and turn it into Islamic Republic through Objective Resolution of 1949 followed by ZAB’s symbolic islamisation measures of banning Bars, Night-Clubs, Race-courses, and finally, enforcing of Sharia laws, flogging, changing ACRs to predicate raises and promotions of government functionaries on their knowledge of and compliance with Sharia in daily life, by Zia ? 

If Members do not participate in this exercise, you know that whipping unwilling horses islike pulling your own hair.
