I am sure your reply in no way is an answer to these difficult questions. It has been a fashion bashing Talibans and others ( who are definately wrong in many aspects of their interpretation of Islam) and blame the ill nature of society's short comings on Afghan war and foreign conspiracy. But my dear Friend, The realities of the practical life is not as simple as one thinks . No one is encouraging the violent nature of many activities presently eating away the roots of the nation in pakistan, however, the solution and the practical solution to come out of this low grade habitual humiliation is absence from the scholars to the common person's intellects. I agree with your words of half and half won't work, but are these 160 millions ready to reform their daily practices of hypocracy and lie and distortion ? How would a nation become the salah and honest without repenting , admitting and moving forward without their old illicit practices of corruption, bloodshed, murders and thugry ??? Unfortunately, majority of these 160 millions are devoid of any thinking and quitting their old habits of deception and hypocracy, accepting Islam as their deen and living their lives with content and shukar.
