Gay Rights In Islam? Are You Serious?
By Tipu Salman Makhdoom
The recent judgment of the US Supreme Court legalizing Gay Marriages has been a sort of blow to all. For Gays and Lesbians it was a blow of jubilations, while for the rest of us, conservatives, it came as a blow hard struck.

Nazi Germany & Jehadi Pakistan!
By Tipu Salman Makhdoom
Brainwashing is a technique of influencing mind. When an assertion is repeated again and again as a gospel truth without allowing difference of opinion, mind gets numb after a while and takes the assertion as truth. And if an organized group exercises this technique on a large group or society, a hysteria occurs. But the best, actually the worst, results occur when this technique is applied on children.

Death Penalty; A Pakistani Perspective
CAN LEGAL FICTION OVERCOME RELIGIOUS AND CONSTITUTIONAL LOCKS?
DEATH PENALTY: A PAKISTANI PERSPECTIVE
BY
Tipu Salman Makhdoom*
Abstract:
Death Penalty
is not really an issue in Pakistan. Mostly because it’s an ideological state, Constitutionally
having a religion which clearly provides for death penalty. In addition to this
ideological check, there is also a Constitutional check. Constitution of
Pakistan states that all laws need to confirm to Islam and Supreme Court of
Pakistan says that among others, this part of Constitution constitutes the
‘Basic Structure’ of the Constitution which cannot be amended, even by adopting
the procedure that Constitution itself provides for its amendment!
After making a
jurisprudential argument in favour of abolition of death penalty, this paper
explores the ideological and Constitutional checks in Pakistan legal system
locking the death penalty in the system. In the end, an argument is made that
in addition to taking the political course, a legal path can be taken to
abolish the death penalty in Pakistan, without violating the Constitutional
check; legal fiction.

Death: The Most Profitable Business
Which are the most profitable businesses of the world? Neither creative, nor productive nor even entertaining; but the ones related to Death. Lots of it!
Two most profitable industries of the world are weapons and pharmaceuticals. One gets money to give us power of inflicting death on others, while the other takes our money in exchange for avoiding it. And we give a lots and lots of money to both of them, in exchange of lots and lots of deaths; and avoiding it.
The most profitable business of the world is weapons industry. Although the big chunks of profit in it comes from big time weapons, like fighter jets and tanks, etc, their demand increases during the times of wars.
