Ahmad Dahlan and the moderate, humanist, and non-sectarian Islam by Mohammad Hasan, Muhammad Taufiq

“…Based on a moderate understanding extracted from the Quran, hadith, and some scholars’ understanding, Dahlan is more suitable to be categorised as a moderate-humanist or middle Salafism figure rather than being categorised as a puritan-fundamentalist or right-wing Salafism figure as misunderstood by some, because of his thoughts and movements in the Islamic education, religious, social, economic, and political fields are more moderate, nonviolent, open, and visionary humanists than contemporary reformers in the country, so that their thoughts and movements inspire philanthropic actions in the Islamic education, social, economic, and politic fields that are far from radicalism and terrorism, and contrary to the modernist group’s thoughts and movements that exist today, especially with puritan fundamentalist groups.…”

Visual Pleasure In Pakistani Cinema (1947–2014) by Rizvi, Wajiha

“…The study finds that the attitude of the Central Board of Film Censors (CBFC) towards exhibiting films like Chingari (Vigor) (1964) and Sher-e-Lahore (2001) was puritanical earlier and progressive later. The images of real women and their representations mirror shifts in the opposite directions since Zia: the celebrities have become freer and open with their emotions as opposed to the celebrities of earlier films, while real women have become more conservative as opposed to the earlier women. …”
