With all of the brouhaha over the tragic assassination of Benazir Bhutto, what has been missed was how brutal and corrupt Pakistan is as an Islamic country. I received an anecdote of a business trip to Pakistan in the late 1990’s from a close friend, Dr. Richard L. Rubenstein a noted theologian, scholar, author, distinguished university professor and former university President. At the time, Dr. Rubenstein was President of the University of Bridgeport (CT) and was endeavoring to create an affiliation agreement with a Western-oriented College in Pakistan. His recollection of the business trip in the aftermath what occurred to the head of the Pakistan secular college are indicative of why western standards of intellectual freedom are viewed as a threat to a predominately Islamist society.
