When it comes to Islam, most of the things are Black and white, only practice may be the gray area. Islam speaks about nations rather then states, even before 1911, there was no concept of countries. There was states, and empires, both were totally integrated with this nation concept.
No dear, zia era haven't done that. But put real moderate Islam in front of everyone. He could order to the newscaster to hide behind the abayah, hide face bla bla, but his order was to put dopata on the head. He could order to blow up the girls school or education only through madrassa but he order to put Islamic clause into education system. He could order every theif get copped the hands, or every adultery criminal get lash etc, eye to eye thing for every case, but instead he put them as only extreme punishments in case only needed. So o on.. At his time, there was no conflict between shia sunni or anything. his Taliban's implement peace in Afghanistan, who open up schools, colleges, and Kabul university. My cousin complete his MD only after the university was reopened and women were also doing medical there since, Taliban used to say where we will take our women for medical? similarly, I remember one headline of newspaper in 1997, 98% of Afghanistan is under peace because of Taliban take over. what ever, nothing point's things towards zia mismanagement. The only thing is, foreign elements plant murder for him which cause great loss to Islamic world.
Issue of TTP or people falling pray for them is not Madrassa, but lack of Islamic Education, which gave free hand to TTP to say what every they want to preach under Islam.
Are you saying the Taliban in Afghanistan were a good regime? It undermines all you have said about avoiding extremes.
And no dear, Zia has no right to tell a newsreader to wear abaya - tbh he overstepped his mark even asking for dupatta. He was just another man, what right does he have to ask that of another citizen? Where was his beard if he was so concerned with appearances?
How can the practice be grey when religion is black and white? there is some ambiguity which is why peoples' practises are different. I come back to my point that one man's islam is another mans taliban - no one should force there religious views on others.
Yes you can have censorship, you can ban indecent images - all of this is possible without turning the country into a sharia state.
