I can't
understand why Pakistanis are protesting against exorbitant electricity bills
and rise in gas and oil charges ?
After all,
Pakistan is an Islamic State, and people living in Madina ki Riyaasat lived
without electricity. I cannot imagine the Prophet leading a demonstration of
people demanding electricity. So why cannot Pakistanis live using oil lamps in
the night, as Arabs did at the time of the Prophet.?

| Why do Pakistanis need electricity, gas, and oil |
As for rise
in gas prices, again I cannot understand what Pakistanis have to complain
about.? Were there cooking cylinders at the time of the Prophet, or did people
cook food using wood ( or maybe camel dung ) ? Why can't Pakistanis do the same
( except that instead of camel dung they can use donkey dung, as it is reported
that the donkey
population has increased exponentially in Pakistan ).
Why should
Pakistanis use cars,trucks and buses, which require petrol or diesel, for
transportation ? Why do they need diesel or electric trains ? They should use
camels, as people used at the time of the Prophet.
The camels
will also supply milk for drinking,and this should replace cow milk ( as cow is
a Hindu animal, and therefore cow milk is haraam, and is only meant for kaafirs
).
Camel dung
can be used for cooking, and camel
urine can be used as a medicine, as was done for centuries.
And
following the example of their great Qaid-e-Azam, Pakistanis should start
eating pork, drinking wine ( or was it Scotch whiskey which he partook before
dinner ? ), and stop saying namaaz ( which Jinnah never did all his life )
