Dear Professor Imran Khan

These days, a couple of experts in Political Philosophy are lecturing people of Pakistan about what "True Democracy" means by citing, according to them, the fundamentals of "True Democracy". The principles they keep on repeating have little or nothing to do with the idea that is democracy. Those principles are about good governance and the rule of law; none of which requires "true democracy" as a prerequisite.

I am going to ignore Alama Tahir-ul-Qadri in his quest for his dream system. He is too smart for the likes of Pakistani people. I am going to focus on Professor Imran Khan, ignorant of history (I can prove that) and ignorant of the dynamics of polling day (I can prove that too) who keeps claiming to know EVERYTHING (he said, "yeh police walay bhi Tehreek-e-Insaaf ke saath hain" before he accused the same policemen of murdering people whose dead-bodies are yet to be found) and who keeps telling people of Pakistan that he knows what "True Democracy" means  (citing Scandinavian countries.)

Democracy, as an idea, embodies some very fundamental tenants. One of them is, "the will of the people would be the supreme law." That one rule means that a true democracy HAS to be Secular. When a state adopts a faith, it disenfranchises a large number of the populace. When the constitution of a country says, "Sovereignty over the entire Universe belongs to Almighty Allah alone, and the authority to be exercised by the people of Pakistan within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust;", that's not true democracy Doctor Imran Khan. That is not a democracy being practiced in Scandinavia sir. Abul A'la Maududi was smarter than you.  He had an intellect you can not even  dream of achieving and he knew what "True Democracy" meant and he never wished for that. Maududi wished for "Islamic Democracy". 

Come on Imran bhai, tell your followers what you want. "Islamic democracy" or Scandinavian democracy? Also, please tell them that there are no Anti-Blasphemy Laws in Scandinavia (remember those cartoons? yes.). Or, tell them what your version of democracy is, since Jamaat Islami is your coalition partner in KPK, and see how many face-painted youngsters are willing to follow you into a Maududi-designed decmocracy,
