Governor Andrew Cuomo wants to give a California run for its money by amping up New York's solar game. In his recent State of the State address, the governor announced a plan to expand New York's renewable energy sources using California's expansive green power systems as a model. A $1.5 billion solar program will join a $1 billion Green Bank for renewables, as well as 3,000 electric vehicle charging stations, spurring a healthy green energy competition between the two states.
Cuomo has recognized renewable energy as the wave of the future and wants New York to be a contender as the first metropolis to embrace and thrive on alternative energy. Cuomo's plan, dubbed NY-Sun, would install solar arrays around the city to help offset the power needed from the traditional grid. The photovoltaic systems would sprout up everywhere from apartment and commercial rooftops to power plants on the ground. The $1.5 billion solar program would dedicate $150 million annually for ten years, gradually installing and supporting the construction of new systems.
The Green Bank would function as a subsidy incentive for private investments for new renewable energy projects. This funding source will help to realize green projects without the time-consuming process of applying for federal funding, helping these initiatives begin construction more quickly.
Finally, the plan will install electric vehicle charging stations all over New York. 3,000 new and easily accessible stations are expected to spring up over the next five years.

This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-i...b-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.

In my opinion,A Mr.Kiratu whos piece has been pu...blished by SGLs Management is an intellectual fossil. The object of Devolution is to "share" power.Certain powers that were with one person have been "cascaded",creating 47 mini Executive Components at the County Level! It was reported, concentration of power in the 60s created an absolute monarch for a CEO with disastrous consequences- politically, economically and socially. Everybody on the planet know,including the Koffi Annan led panel, that the Constitution was designed to trim the absolute monarchy & put its person in his place for good. THAT'S just one object...the list is endless.The Republic of Kenya remains one,with a trimmed CEO but with new 47 EXECUTIVE Governors; i love this. HOWEVER,the Constitution doesn't say, 47 autonomous units. By saying Governors seek secession,the writer is a block away from High Treason himself. Two things; Either,the writer did not expect a fav to loose in the Governorship race,or he hates the idea of a trimmed Monarch.One things for sure; he is not the Systems Auditor-City of Nairobi,i am. The City has an Executive. There's no stopping this million man march.The agenda(constitution) is not European,Western nor Eastern.This is a Kenyan Agenda; the writer voted in the new laws too.The writer in a way, creates the impression that the Laws were to be conditional depending with which party wins.

Marlboro Rhinoplasty reviews

"16 Years Old, Had a Deviated Septum..."
I had a deviated septum and a small fracture on the left side of my nose. The surgery was fast and simple. I was on bed rest for about 5 days. It wasn't that painful, just a little uncomfortable. I had a hard cast on my nose and some guaze on my nostrils because I had a few stitches. I needed to clean my nostrils with q-tips everyday. My eyes did bruise and my face was swollen but my swelling... more
"A Much Need Small Nose. Edison, NJ"
I always disliked my nose. It was long and the tip faced down. It made me self conscious of my looks. I hated to take pictures. Doctor Miller was very informative on the surgery I wanted. He spoke of the before and after care. Once the surgery was completed he took care of the incision. And although I still had to be careful with the activities I did within two weeks I felt great. I love my nose. more
"I Don't Look Like Myself Anymore...."
This was my third rhinoplasty and I am horrified by what I've done to my face. I don't look anything like my old self and I was very attractive before. My nose was too long and pointed down and now it is very short and upturned I am three days after the splint came off so about 10 days after surgery I know that the swelling will go down and it will become more refined but. I just don't look... more
"Hated my Nose Forever. Edison, NJ"
I hated my nose my whole life but was always afraid to do anything about. It seemed anyone i knew that had " a nose job" had the same, turned up nose. I finally visited Dr. miller in Edison NJ. We went over the different senerios and what the possible outcome would be, Dr.miller answered every question . When you first meet him he seems alittle stand offish, but he does warm up. I told him I... more
"Best Investment Ever - Edison, NJ"
Best investment I made so far. With dr miller . since the first consultation he gave me the confident and security of doing the procedure and I had no dougth of doing it thanks a lot de miller easy going.

"MJ's Rhinoplasty - Marlboro, NJ"
I broke my nose as a teen and when they repaired due to breathing problems they practically removed the bridge. I had been researching Rhinoplasty that would build up the bridge, most involved taking a bone from another part of the body. Dr Miller was able to do the surgery with a plastic bridge, i have been very happy with it since. more
"Larissa,17 Years Old and I Want to..."
Im 17 years old and im willing to work many months to pay for my rhinoplasty but i need to know more if i can pay in installments or get loans ,im so tired of looking at the mirror and not like what i see ,i have a really low self esteem bc of it and i dnt wanna go to college like this ,please help more
"34 Years Old, Broke Nose Several..."
I actually indirectly found Dr. Robert Glasgold through reading Real Self reviews while I was looking up another surgeon who trained at the Glasgold Group. I looked up his background and decided to go to him for my rhinoplasty on April 9th.Anytime I needed to call to change an appointment they were very accommodating and not rude at all. Everyone at the Glasgold Group is very nice. I broke my... more
"I Never Liked my Nose and I Am So..."
I wasn't happy with my nose for years, but I was too scared to get it done, then finally found Dr. Glasgold and felt comfortable enough to have it done. I found Dr. Robert Glasgold in the internet. I saw his website and saw the reviews and testimonials. I had met with another surgeon but he did not specialize in rhinoplasty so I went with Dr. Glasgold. His whole team is wonderful and they are... more
"24 Year Old, Tip of the Nose to One..."
This review is for those, who decided to finally take a step towards changing what bothered you for years. When I was in the 1st grade, i broke my nose.After that for years, tip of the nose was looking to the left. Long story short, for years i coulnt make picture looking straight into camera..I always had to turn my head to the right to balance the tip apperance out. On May 15th ,surgery was... more
"31 Female Rhinoplasty 6 Days Post Op..."
I am 6 days post op. My goal was to narrow my nose and make it less bulbous. I had no septum work done, and aside from the packing, i had no discomfort. It is still very red, but I had no bruising. It is definitely thinner but seems bigger to me. I know that the swelling tales a long time to heal, but I would love some feedback. THANK YOU. My tip is so big and low and swollen...today is... more
"He Fixed my Nose Tip Great Result -..."
This man is awesome. He's down to earth, kind, and incredibly knowledgable. Both his sons are plastic surgeons also and share the office. A great family here. His daughter has a fabulous well recognized line of skin care products too. He fixes many BAD noses done by other surgeons. I was not happy with my nose tip since it hung down way too low. In a fast procedure, he lifted the angle of my... more
"My Experience.. - Brooklyn, NY"
I found Dr. Westreich after looking for a surgeon over the course of several months. Originally, I had went to a different office but I went for a second opinion when I felt as though the first doctor wasn't really listening to what I had to say. I didn't like my nose, but I also didn't hate it. I wanted to change it but not drastically so my goal was to find a doctor who would give me a... more
"Rhinoplasty a Few Weeks Before..."
Hi everyone! My name is Shae and I'm 17 (turning 18 in September). I'm having rhinoplasty done this Wednesday the 14th. I've read SO many reviews on here and I thought it couldn't hurt to share my story. I've been self conscious about my nose since before I could remember. Growing up, I'd always look in the mirror and raise my tip with my finger to picture how I would look with my perfect... more
"Rhinoplasty - Saint Barnabus, NJ"
Dr. Joseph performed a much needed rhinoplasty on March 5, 2012. The operation was not painful although it was uncomfortable. The bruising under my eyes was severe due to me vomiting after surgery. (this does NOT happen to everyone). Overall I am very happy with the outcome. I did have a few glitches right after the surgery. None of which were in Dr. Joseph's control. Two weeks after... more
I had my first surgery (and hopefully the last) today on my nose. I was very unsure about whether or not to go through with it because I was terribly scared. However, I've always been insecure about my nose. SO, I went through with it. I had a very bulbous tip and a drooping tip as well as a slight bump on my bridge. My nose, I felt, was much too large for my face. From what I see, cast on and... more
On April 5 I will be getting rhinoplasty. I am 25 and finally built up the courage to even face the fact that I always disliked my nose. It's only a few days away and can not wait to be content with my appearance. A few of my fears are: A.) not looking like myself anymore B.) having poor breathing as a result of the surgery C.) not being able to sing or drastic change in singing... more
"Bulbous Tip Rhinoplasty - Belmar, NJ"
Ever since the day I discovered a mirror I have wanted a nose job. My nose is wide at the top of the bone, thinner toward the middle and then a bulbous tip with a slight droop to the tip. I went to a couple doctors who said they would cut the cartilage out and stitch the inside of my nose and then pack the inside after surgery. S after that point I guess I felt it was normal to do that type of... more
Amazing. I had an injury to my nose when I was little and it left me with a bump on my bridge and a small scar. Dr Heller gave me the most natural looking nose with a smooth bridge, cute and feminine.. I get so many compliments on it. Before you couldn't see my face at all. It was just nose and bump. I can see a pretty face now and my confidence level has been lifted. more
I had my surgery with Dr. Miller on August 16, 2012. I went to see Dr. Miller twice before scheduling my surgery date. I have always had a small bump on my nose that bothered me since I was little, so when I needed to have sinus surgery, I deciced to get the cosmetic portion done as well. I would say this has been the best decision of my life BY FAR. Dr. Miller gave me realistic expectations... more

The Antichrist The Grand Alien Deception

By definition, grand deception means evil masking as good.
Alien may mask as good guys. They gave men science and technology, making men to believe this is better than God, and that God is not needed, we can live forever with stem cells etc.
Religions may do the same, giving false salvation and false promise for afterlife. Most people in the 15th century in Europe believed in the Pope as the true representative of God. Do you still believe that?
If Aliens are the devil, then we are all screwed, because we have all utilized technology, we have all taken the modern medicine, and we have all drunk from the cup.
Anonymous Coward 1593519
They already bribed us with goodies before they are going to make the announcement.
If I were the aliens, I'll do the same. I'll let the human voluntarily taste my goodies before I tell them that it is I that made those. I won't announce first that I am God and then present my gifts in case a lot of people will be alerted.
Anonymous Coward 1593519
Damn Bro, You Blew My Mind.
Anonymous Coward 38068195
For those who cry the "coming" deception, you are a little too late. You think the Alien is that dumb to get you alerted first and be watchful for incoming events?
You have already bought into the deception. That is why it is so difficult even for the elect.
Please verify you're human:

Description This invention relates to exercise vehicles somewhat in the form of a go-cart wherein both the arms and the legs of the user may be exercised, or if desired, either the legs or the arms separately may be exercised along with the other bodily muscles and it is an object of the invention to provide an improved exercise vehicle of this nature. The simulation is that of rowing a boat wherein the leg muscles, arm muscles and back muscles are extensively used. However, this may be achieved according to the invention in an exercise vehicle that is used out-of-doors whereby the additional benefit of fresh air is available. Exercise vehicles of the nature indicated are known to the art. Reference may be made to U.S. Pat. No. 4,508,358 Erel, Apr. 2, 1985 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,760,905 Dower, Sept. 25, 1973. In the devices of each of these prior art patents rowing machine type exercising is achieved but the devices are relatively complicated and bulky. Accordingly it is a further object of the invention to provide an exercise vehicle of the nature indicated that is simple in form, easy to use and efficient in operation. In carrying out the invention according to one form there is provided: an exercise vehicle comprising a framework, a rear axle attached to the framework, a pair of rear wheels operatively attached to the ends of the rear axle, one of the rear wheels being adapted to be driven by the rear axle, a front axle attached to the framework, a pair of front wheels operatively and steerably mounted on the ends of the front axle, and operator's seat mounted on the framework, an operators foot actuated member slidably mounted on the frame, a first one way clutch mounted on the rear axle, a first cable connecting the foot actuated member and the first one-way clutch whereby moving the foot actuated member moves the vehicle in a forward direction, an extensible steering column attached at its lower end to the framework adjacent the front axle, a rockable link connecting the extensible steering column at its upper end and the framework rearwardly of the front axle, a hand operated arm attached to the upper end of the steering column, a second one way clutch mounted on the rear axle and a second cable connecting the rockable link from adjacent the upper end of the steering column to the second one way clutch whereby moving the hand operated arm moves the vehicle in a forward direction. According to another form, the exercise vehicle is provided wherein moving the foot actuated member comprises pushing and moving the hand operated arm comprises pulling. For a better understanding of the invention reference should now be made to the drawings in which: FIG. 1 is an outline of an exercise vehicle according to the invention, partially in perspective, illustrating a user operating the machine; FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of the exercise vehicle illustrated in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a planned view, partially broken away, of an exercise vehicle according to the invention on a somewhat larger scale; FIG. 4 is a fragmentary side view of the vehicle shown in FIG. 3; and FIG. 5 is a fragmentary rear view, partially in section, taken substantially in the direction of the arrows 5--5 of FIG. 3. Referring to the drawings, the invention is shown embodied in an exercise vehicle 10 including a framework 11, a pair of rear wheels 12 and 13, a pair of front wheels 14 and 15, a foot propulsion system 16, a hand propulsion system 17, a steering column 18 and other components to be described. As can be visualized, the foot propulsion system 16 includes a foot operated bar 19 and the hand propulsion system 17 includes a hand operated bar 21 both bars to be moved back and forth for propelling the vehicle 10 forwardly. The framework 11 may assume many forms and should be of relatively light weight. As shown, the framework consists of a series of tubes welded together. The framework 11 includes a longitudinal portion having two runs 22 and 23 connected by a bend 24. The forward ends of the runs 22 and 23 are welded to the front axle 25 which also may be a tube. At the rear of run 22 there is a U-shaped yoke 26, the legs of which are welded to the run 22. Similarly a U-shaped yoke 27 has its legs welded to the run 23. The front axle 25 has wheel supports 28 and 29 of a usual type attached thereto from each of which extends a stub axle to which the front wheels 14 and 15 respectively are rotatably attached. The front wheel stub axles of course are vertically pivotable so that the wheels may be turned, as is well understood. Steering arms 31 and 32 are connected to the wheel supports 28 and 29, respectively, in the usual manner and are connected by a steering rod 33 at whose center an extending member 34 projects to which the steering column is attached for steering the vehicle as will become understood. The rear axle 35 is attached to the rearward portion of the frame 11 and includes the pair of rear wheels 12 and 13 attached thereto. The right end of axle 35 may have wheel 12 connected thereto with an ordinary roller bearing so that the wheel 12 rolls freely with respect to the axle. On the other hand, the wheel 13 may be keyed (FIG. 2) to the left end of axle 35 so that the wheel 13 is driven. As a practical matter it is only necessary to drive one of the rear wheels and this results in a reduced amount of friction. The rear axle 35 may be attached to the frame by a series of bearings of which 36 and 37 are shown and may be roller bearings whose attaching plates are welded to the outward portions of the U-shaped yokes 26 and 37. In addition a further roller bearing 38 surrounding the right hand portion of the axle 37 has its attaching plate welded to the longitudinal run 23 of the framework. Attached to the longitudinal run 22 of the framework is the anti-backup block of a one-way clutch member 39 to be described further. The axle 37 is a one piece member as shown and may be retained in its transverse position by any well known mechanism which need not be further described. Atop the longitudinal runs 22 and 23, essentially over the rear axle 35, is a horizontal platform 41 which may be welded to the runs 22 and 23. A seat 42 for the driver of the exercise vehicle may be held to the platform 41 in any suitable manner such as by rivets 43. The foot propulsion system 16 includes the foot operated bar 19, a one-way clutch 44, a cable 45 and a foot bar retracting spring 46. The foot operated bar 19 which includes foot pedals 47 and 48 for engagement by an operator's feet is held by circular sleeves 49 and 51 around longitudinal runs 22 and 23 for reciprocating motion of the foot operated bar 19. Extending rearwardly from the foot operated bar 19 and attached thereto is the cable 45 whose other end is wrapped around the pulley portion of the one-way clutch 44. Thus when the operator moves the pedals 47 and 48 forwardly the cable 45 is pulled and the pulley portion 46 of the one-way clutch 44 rotates causing the one-way clutch through appropriate mechanism to drive the axle 37 in the forward direction. When the operator releases the pedals 47 and 48 or, alternatively, quits pushing thereon, the retracting spring 46 causes the foot operated bar 19 to move rearwardly thereby removing tension from the cable 45. At this point a wind-up spring 52 forming part of the one-way clutch mechanism causes the cable 45 to rewind on the pulley portion 46, as is well understood with one-way clutch mechanisms. Such mechanisms are only briefly described herein inasmuch as they are well known structures available on the open market and used in many similar situations. The wind up spring 52 structure is well known to most persons as being the kind of a structure utilized in connection with starting mechanisms for lawn mower engines. Thus it may be visualized that the operator of the vehicle pushes the pedals 47 and 48 forward causing the vehicle to move forwardly and when the pushing effort is released the wind up spring, etc. causes the cable 45 to be rewound, the one-way clutch mechanism permitting this reverse movement. At the same time it allows the cable 45 to move the pulley portion 46 when the one-way clutch grips the axle 37. The hand propulsion system 17 includes the hand operated bar 21, a portion of the steering column 18, linkage members 53 and 54, a cable 55 and a one-way clutch mechanism 56 whose central member is attached to the axle 35. One end of the cable 55 is attached to the pulley portion 57 of the one-way clutch 56 and the other end of the cable 55 is attached to the upper end of the linkage members 53 and 54. As an operator pulls on the hand operated bar 21 (FIG. 1) the cable 55 is pulled toward the operator and causes the pulley portion 57 of the one-way clutch 56 to rotate in a forward direction, the one-way clutch engaging the axle 37 and causing the axle to rotate in the forward direction. The cable 55 is wrapped around a pulley 58 near the front axle 55 to provide the necessary guidance for the cable. When the operator ceases pulling on the arm 21 and tends to move his arms forwardly tension is removed from the cable 55 and a windup spring 59 causes the pulley portion 57 to reverse its direction (it being part of a one-way clutch) and causes the cable 25 to wind up on the pulley portion 57. The wind up spring 59 in this instance functions in the same manner as the wind up spring 52 already described. As the hand operating bar 21 is pulled toward the operator and released the hand operated bar moves in a slightly arcuate manner caused by the length of the linkage members 53 and 54 which are pivoted at their lower ends to the longitudinal runs 22 and 23. The upper ends of the linkage members 53 and 54 are pivoted at pivot 61 attached to a trunion 68 surrounding the upper end of the steering column 18. Referring to FIG. 4 and noting that the hand operating arm 21 has two positions relatively far apart, it is evident that the steering column 18 must be extensible in order to accommodate the hand motions. This is achieved, according to the invention, by providing a steering bar 62 surrounded by a steering sleeve 63, the sleeve being slidable relatively to the bar 62 for whatever distance may be necessary. In the instance shown the steering bar 62 is square and the interior of the steering sleeve 63 also is square so that rotation of the sleeve causes the bar to rotate. This causes an arm 64 which is attached to the lower end of the bar 62 to rotate thereby causing the extending member 34 to move by means of the connecting pin 65. Movement of the extending member 34 causes the steering arm 33 to move and the front wheels 14 and 15 to turn in whatever direction is desired. A collar 66 attached to the lower end of the steering bar 62 prevents the bar from moving beyond the abutment 67 provided. At the upper end of the steering column 18 the hand operated bar 21 is attached in any suitable manner such as by welding to the steering sleeve 63. The trunion 68 to which the pivot pins 61 are attached surrounds the steering sleeve 63, collars 69 and 71 being provided on the sterring sleeve 63 to hold the trunion 68 in the position indicated. The vehicle is steered by rotating the arm 21. In the event that the exercise cart has been driven uphill and one wants to stop without holding the cart in position by means of the hand operated bar or the foot operated bar, the further one-way clutch 39, as has been referred to, is attached to the axle 37 and to the longitudinal run 22. The one-way clutch 39 may be of the same form as the one-way clutches 44 and 56 but is connected to the axle and to the run 42 in the reverse direction. Thus clutch 39 permits forward motion of the axle 37 but prevents rearward motion thereof. This clutch, as the others, includes an external member, an internal hub and rollers grippers in between as is well understood. In addition, a brake member including a drum 72 is attached to the rear axle 37. A brake band 73 is associated with the exterior surface of the drum and has a cable 74 (shown dotted in FIG. 3) connected to it. Ultimately cable 74 is connected to a brake handle 75 pivotally attached to the operating arm 21. By pulling on the brake handle 75 the operator applies tension to the cable 74 and thus applies the brake to the vehicle for stopping purposes. In FIG. 1 an operator is shown with his feet in two positions. Likewise his hands, arms and upper body are shown in two positions as would be the case pulling with his hands in a power stroke and releasing for a new stroke. The feet move forwardly for a power stroke and retract for a new stroke. It will be evident that an exercise vehicle operator sitting on the seat 42 and pushing with his feet can cause the vehicle to move forward. Similarly by pulling with his hands the operator can cause the vehicle to move forward. Both pushing with the feet and pulling with the hands can be carried on at the same time or alternatively as desired. Pushing as well as pulling on the hand bar may be effected if desired.

Islam in Pakistan | ||||||
Islam is the largest and the state religion of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, which has a population of about 190,291,129.[1] The majority (95–97%) of the Pakistani people are Muslim while the remaining 3–5% are Christian, Hindu, and others.[2][3] Sunnis are the majority while the Shias make up between 5-20%[2][3][4][5][6] of the total Muslim population of the country, whereas the Ahmadi Muslims make up approximately 2.2% of the total Muslim population of the country.[7] Pakistan has the second largest number of Shias after Iran, which numbers between 16.5 million to as high as 30 million according to Vali Nasr.[8]
The arrival of the Muslims to the areas of modern day Pakistan, along with subsequent Muslim dynasties, set the stage for the religious boundaries of South Asia that would lead to the development of the modern state of Pakistan as well as forming the foundation for Islamic rule which quickly spread across much of South Asia. Following the rule of various Islamic empires, including the Ghaznavid Empire, the Ghorid kingdom, and the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughals controlled the region from 1526 until 1739. Many Sufi missionaries from Middle East and Central Asia migrated and settled in South Asia. Many natives converted to Islam due to the missionary Sufi saints whose dargahs dot the landscape of South Asia. Sufism in Pakistan is plays important role in the country.
Many Sufi missionaries from Middle East and Central Asia migrated and settled in South Asia. Many natives converted to Islam due to the missionary Sufi saints whose dargahs dot the landscape of South Asia. The Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal Empire ruled the northern India region. During the Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal Empire attracted Muslim refugees, nobles, technocrats, bureaucrats, soldiers, traders, scientists, architects, artisans, teachers, poets, artists, theologians and Sufis from the rest of the Muslim world and they migrated and settled in the South Asia. During the reign of Sultan Ghyasuddin Balban (1266-1286) thousands of Central Asian Muslims sought asylum including more than of 15 sovereigns and their nobles due to the Mongol invasion of Khwarezmia and Eastern Iran.
At the court of Sultan Iltemish in Delhi the first wave of these Muslim refugees escaping from the Central Asian genocide perpetrated by the hordes of Genghis Khan, brought administrators from Iran, painters from China, theologians from Samarkand, Nishapur and Bukhara, nobles from Khwarezm, divines and saints from all Muslim lands, craftsmen and men and maidens from every region, doctors adept in Greek medicine, philosophers from everywhere.
After the Battle of Panipat (1526) Mughal Emperor Babur defeated the Lodi dynasty with a diverse array of Muslim soldiers and nobles who were awarded estates and they settled with their families in modern Pakistan.

In 711 CE, when the Umayyad dynasty sent a Muslim Arab army led by Muhammad bin Qasim against the ruler of Sindh, Raja Dahir. Muhammad Bin Qasim's army was defeated in his first three attempts. The Muslim army conquered the northwestern part of Indus Valley from Kashmir to the Arabian Sea.
Following the birth of Islam in Arabia in the early 7th century, the Muslim Arabs rose to power and replaced the Zoroastrian Persian Empire as the major power west of India in the mid 7th century. In 711–713 AD, Arab armies from the Umayyad caliphate of Damascus conquered Sind and advanced into the present-day southern Punjab, occupying Multan, which was later to become a center of the Ismaili sect of Islam.
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shamanism were the prominent religions in the region until Muslim Arabs and Turks conquered the area during 7th century AD. Over the centuries migration took place by the population consisting majorly of Hindus and Buddhists.[9] While local Pashtuns brought in Islam, introducing some of the local traditions (albeit altered by Islam) such as Pashtunwali or the Pashtun code of honor.
The Muslim poet-philosopher Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal first proposed the idea of a Muslim state in northwestern South Asia in his address to the Muslim League at Allahabad in 1930. His proposal referred to the four provinces of Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and the NorthWest Frontier—essentially what would became Pakistan. Iqbal's idea gave concrete form to two distinct nations in the South Asia based on religion (Islam and Hinduism) and with different historical backgrounds, social customs, cultures, and social mores.
Islam was thus the basis for the creation and the unification of a separate state. Allama Muhammad Iqbal in 1937, in a letter to Jinnah wrote, "After a long and careful study of Islamic Law I have come to the conclusion that if this system of Law is properly understood and applied, at last the right to subsistence is secured to every body. But the enforcement and development of the Shariat of Islam is impossible in this country without a free Muslim state or states. This has been my honest conviction for many years and I still believe this to be the only way to solve the problem of bread for Muslims as well as to secure a peaceful India."[10] But just three days before the creation of Pakistan, Mohammad Ali Jinnah made a different commitment, a commitment to secularism in Pakistan. In his inaugural address he said, "You will find that in the course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State." This statement of Jinnah is an object of great controversy since then and this vision of a Pakistan in which Islamic law would not be applied, contrary to Iqbal's perception, was questioned shortly after independence.
Since the 1930s, the Muslim League had been lobbying and pushing its politics for a separate homeland for the Muslims of India, known as Pakistan. After Jinnah passed away in 1948, Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan's constitutional policies were directed to work on constitution.[11] On 12 March 1949, Prime Minister Ali Khan had the State parliament passing and promulgating the Objectives Resolution, which ultimately declared Islam as state religion of the country.[11] The main objective of Resolution was the "declaration of State's submitting to the democratic faith of Islam and to the sovereignty of God".[11] Such resolution was met with great resistance in the state parliament when Law minister J.N. Mandal resigned from his ministry and gave great criticism to Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan. Politicization of Islam in the country further tighten its support when ultra-conservative Clerics passed a "demand draft", called 'Twenty Two Points' which called for the preparation of constitution according to Objectives Resolution, in 1950.
In 1977, the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto outlawed alcohol and drugs and changed the weekend from Sunday to Friday, but no substantive Islamic reform program was implemented prior to General Zia-ul-Haq's Islamization program. Starting in February 1979, new penal measures based on Islamic principles of justice went into effect. These carried considerably greater implications for women than for men. A welfare and taxation system based on Zakat and a profit-and-loss banking system were also established in accordance with Islamic prohibitions against usury but were inadequate.
Conservatism in Pakistan (or the Right in Pakistan), generally relates to the traditional, social, and religious identities. After the death of Jinnah, Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan successfully authored and passed the Objectives Resolution from the state parliament, roughly declaring Islam as state religion. The idea of Conservatism in Pakistan identifies several constants including the "respect for tradition, the rule of law and the Islamic religion." Proponents of right-wing conservatism and nationalist agenda was supported by Prime Minister Ali Khan as part of his internal policies. His conservative policies were met with resistance from the left-wing which was accused of hatching the conspiracy against Ali Khan. In 1979, the religious conservatism and the state-sponsored Islamization became a primary policy of military government of President General Zia-ul-Haq.
As an aftermath of 1954 general elections, the conservatism lost its edge in East-Pakistan when communism deeply asserted itself following the victory of Communist Party. The military dictatorships of Ayub Khan and Yahya Khan further limited the conservative platform. During the 1970 general elections, the religious conservative and right-wing conservative parties participated in the election with a direct competition with left-oriented PPP. The right-wing mass made its notable comeback in a response to nationalization program of Bhutto, and called for right-wing alliance, PNA, against PPP.
During the presidential election held in 1965, President Ayub Khan used the hard-line Islamic conservative groups to get Fatima Jinnah disqualified from the elections; nonetheless, this scheme failed when the huge public voted for Fatima Jinnah's bid for presidency. It is noted by historians that without the usage of state machinery, President Ayub Khan had almost lost the elections.
Despite religious populism and strong emphasizes on Islamic traditional values, the religious groups, however, performed poorly during the elections of 1970 and 1977.
With the successful coup d'état against the left wing government of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), the modern conservatism movement took over the control of state's affairs under President Zia-ul-Haq. The conservative principles dominated Zia's economic and foreign policies, including the interest-free system and strict opposition to Soviet Communism defining the military administration's philosophy.

Global Security estimates that 50% of Pakistani Muslims are Barelvi, 20% Deobandi, 18% Shi'a, 4% Ahl al-Hadith, 2% Ismaili, and other 2%.[13] The International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore estimates that 60% of Pakistani Muslims are Barelvi Sufi, 15% Deobandi; 20% Shi'a, 4% Ahl al-Hadith; and 1% other.[14]
According to the CIA World Factbook and Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, 95-97% of the total population of Pakistan is Muslim.[3] The majority of the Pakistani Muslims belong to the Sunni Hanafi Madhhab (school of jurisprudence[15]).
The two subsects of Sunnis in Pakistan, the Barelvis and Deobandis, have their own Masjids. According to the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation the majority of Sunni in Pakistan follows Barelvi traditions.[16] The Salafi school is represented by the Ahle Hadith movement in Pakistan.
Shia Ithna 'ashariyah are estimated 10-20%.[2][3][5][6][17]
The Shi'a Ithna 'ashariyah school has its own Masjids and Hussainias (Imambargahs). Mustaali Dawoodi Bohra and Sulaimani Bohra also have their own Masjids, while the Nizari Ismailis have Jama'at Khanas. Although the vast majority of Pakistani Shi'a Muslims belong to Ithna 'ashariyah school, there are significant minorities: Nizari Ismailis (Agha Khanis) and the smaller Mustaali Dawoodi Bohra and Sulaimani Bohra branches.
Many people on the Makran coast of Balochistan follow the heterodox Zikri sect of Islam. Zikri sect developed within Sunni Hanafis during the 18th century Mahdi movement as a reaction to decline of the Muslim rule and encroaching British colonialism in South Asia. Zikris are now gravitating back towards orthodox Sunni Hanafi beliefs.
Sufism has a strong tradition in Pakistan, and is heavily represented among Barelvis. The Muslim Sufi missionaries played a pivotal role in converting the millions of native people to Islam. As in other areas where Sufis introduced it, Islam to some extent syncretized with pre-Islamic influences, resulting in a religion with some traditions distinct from other parts of the Muslim world. The Naqshbandiya, Qadiriya, Chishtiya and Suhrawardiyya silsas (Muslim Orders) have a large following in Pakistan. Sufis whose shrines receive much national attention are Data Ganj Baksh (Ali Hajweri) in Lahore (ca. 11th century), Baha-ud-din Zakariya in Multan and Shahbaz Qalander in Sehwan (ca. 12th century) and Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai in Bhit, Sindh and Rehman Baba in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. Popular Sufi culture is centered on Thursday night gatherings at shrines and annual festivals which feature Sufi music and dance. Contemporary Islamic fundamentalists criticize its popular character, which in their view, does not accurately reflect the teachings and practice of the Prophet and his companions. There have been terrorist attacks directed at Sufi shrines and festivals, 5 in 2010 that killed 64 people.[18][19]
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community, a minority Muslim group is also present. In 1974, the government of Pakistan amended the Constitution of Pakistan to define a Muslim "as a person who believes in finality of Prophet Muhammad".[20] Ahmadis believe in Muhammad as the best and the last law bearing prophet and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Christ of Muslims. Consequently they were declared non-Muslims by a parliamentary tribunal. There are approximately 4 million Ahmadi Muslims in the country. This equates to 2.2% of the population.[7]
Muslims who reject the authority of hadith, known as Quranist, Quraniyoon, or Ahle Quran, are also present in Pakistan.[21] In South Asia during the 19th century, the Ahle Quran movement formed partially in reaction to the Ahle Hadith movement whom they considered to be placing too much emphasis on hadith. Many Ahle Quran adherents were formerly adherents of Ahle Hadith but found themselves incapable of accepting certain hadiths.[22] Notable Quranists of Pakistani descent include Ghulam Ahmed Pervez (founder of Tolu-e-Islam), Asarulislam Syed (founder of the Jannat Pakistan Party), and Shabbir Ahmed.
There has been conversion to Islam from the religious minorities of Pakistan. Many Hindus, Ahmadis and Christians have converted to Islam. Deen Mohammad Shaikh is a Muslim missionary from Matli in Badin District in Sindh province and has converted over 110,000 Hindus to Islam.[23]
There is no law in Pakistan enforcing hijab and wearing of Hijab by Pakistani women is fairly uncommon. However, the practice of wearing Hijab among younger women in urban centers is slowly growing due to media influence from the Middle East and Persian Gulf countries.
Media and pilgrimages has influenced Pakistani Muslims to learn more about Islam as a result the local folk beliefs and practices are progressively being replaced with orthodox beliefs from Quran and Sunnah. The inexpensive travel, simpler visa rules and direct air travel to Saudi Arabia has resulted in large number Pakistani Muslims going to Medina and Mecca for Haj and Umrah. This has helped to increase Pan-Islamic identity of Pakistani Muslims. The Muslim print media has always existed in Pakistan which included newspapers, books and magazines. The Muslim satellite channels are widely available and are watched by Pakistani population.
The Islamiat, study of Islam, as a subject is compulsory for all Muslim students up to Graduation in Pakistan. Islamic education to the masses is also propagated mainly by Islamic schools and literature. Islamic schools (or Madrassas) mostly cater to the youth from impoverished social backgrounds and those learning to be Islamic clerics. More casual and even research oriented material is available in the form of books. While the most prominent of these schools are supervised, the latter are being 'moderated' by both the government and some of the scholars, thereby also removing in the process the various material present in it that is used by anti-Muslim writers. Oldest and universally accepted titles such as the Sahih Bukhari have been revised into 'summarised' editions and some of the old, complete titles, translated to Urdu, the national language, are not available for purchase now. These changes are also a herald to new outbreaks of religious controversy in the region.
Religion: The overwhelming majority of the population (96.3 percent) is Muslim, of whom approximately 95 percent are Sunni and 5 percent Shia.
Iran always had been a Shia country, the largest one, with about 60 million population. Pakistan is the second-largest Shi'a country in the world, with about 30 million population.

In what way have views of women's language (English) changed in the last century?
1 Answer | Add Yours
In general, trends in scholarship (in social sciences) tend to be affected by changes in overall attitudes in society. This is true with respect to views on the idea of "women's English." In the past, it was simply assumed or asserted that women spoke differently than men. The differences were generally described in ways that put women in a negative light. Women's language supposedly showed the women were weaker and less assertive than men. This was in keeping with accepted views of women in society.
More recently, however, scholars have looked more critically at these assertions about women's speech. Many have come to claim that there is no empirical basis for most of the claims that women speak differently than men. In this way, the more modern view of women's English is that there may not really be such a thing. It may be that people have perceived women's speech as different because of their commitment to the idea that women are inferior.
