Its not about peace. Its about power.
Indonesia is already at 2.4 TFR. That is near to replacement level. As Indonesian economy grows, it will become more expensive and their TFR will steady at or below 2.1
In either case, the biggest Muslim concentration on Earth will be India and Pakistan.
The collective power of 400 million prosperous Muslims in one stable and prosperous region will change the center and focus of Islamic world from Middle East to South Asia provided the Indians and Pakistani's take that leadership and position from the Middle East. Now as Indians grow richer, they already exert more and more influence across the globe. We are certainly going to do it.
Now if Pakistanis were to become more nationalistic and care for their own people more, they would join India in this. The Gulf will change to accommodate Pakistani instead of Pakistani's changing their ambitions to accommodate middle eastern concerns. Gulf countries have already started to take Indian wants and needs far more seriously than before.
All this can only happen if Pakistani's understand this. But they have been fooled into becoming dumber by their leaders who are subservient to Arabs and have now made Pakistani's mentally subservient to Arabs. It suits the Arabs perfectly to make Pakistani's keep falling head over heels and hat in hand for ummah and Islam, instead of talking about Pakistan first.
The question is are Pakistani's willing to take their focus away from Middle East and take leadership or are they happy to constantly look to Middle East for inspiration. Currently its the latter, the real question is whether and when it becomes the former.
As I said for better or worse, the future of Islam will be decided in India and Pakistan, not Middle East or anywhere else.
@Hyperion @Oscar @Manticore . @Jungibaaz @Secur I am sure you realized this as well. And your views are most interesting to me.
You are right that is it eventual that Pakistan will lead the Muslim world but India cannot because they are not a Muslim majority nation, Pakistan just needs to get its head out of its ***.
