Скачать или смотреть Why Liberals Can't Debate Pakistani Clerics: The Tool That Kills Dialogue.

Why do debates with hardline Pakistani religious scholars often feel futile? This video analyzes the deep-seated irrational mindset of a section of the Pakistani clergy that makes genuine dialogue nearly impossible.

We explore how traditional "research" and "debate" tactics are often used not to seek truth, but to forcefully assert predetermined conclusions—becoming the exact antithesis of open intellectual inquiry. This creates an impossible terrain for liberals, secularists, and critical thinkers who operate on different epistemological grounds.

In this video, we break down:

The foundational beliefs that shut down dialogue before it begins.

How the tools of debate (Quranic verses, Hadith) are deployed as rhetorical weapons, not points for discussion.

The "moving goalpost" and "divine authority" fallacies commonly employed.

Why liberal arguments based on reason, human rights, and historical context often fail to land in this framework.

The psychological and social power dynamics at play in these exchanges.

This is not an attack on faith or all religious scholars, but a critical examination of a specific authoritarian mindset that dominates public discourse in Pakistan.
