کسی معاشرے کے لیے ایسے سوالات اٹھانا اور اپنے گریبان میں جھانکنا ایک صحت مند عمل ہے۔
ہم خوش ہوتے ہیں کہ امریکہ میں مسلمان امیدوار انتخابات جیت رہے ہیں، لیکن کیا ہم جانتے ہیں کہ انہیں ووٹ کس نے دیے؟ کیا ان کی کامیابی صرف مسلمانوں کے ووٹوں کی وجہ سے ممکن ہوئی؟
کیا ہم پاکستان میں کبھی تصور بھی کر سکتے ہیں ؟

This is somewhat of a puzzle.
