the only way forward is separation of state and religion. in simple words follow the turkey model if we have to survive and develop.
That can only be accomplished through social change a change in the mindset of most Pakistanis in support of seperation of religion from the State, and then having those Pakistanis go out and vote for political leaders willing to enforce that change through constitutional amendments, legislation and institutional reform.
Easier to say than do, especially when the largest 'liberal' party in Pakistan, the PPP, has not stood up against extremism and intolerance even when its own leadership has been targetted. Not to mention that this party has rock bottom approval ratings in any case, and is a poor choice to champion any sort of 'social reform'.
First we need political leadership that delivers on governance and security, then and only then can such a leadership push through the kind of change being referred to, and not invite a massive backlash.
