I refuse to differential his political standings from his religious standings, mainly because he himself refuse to do so. He's using his religious standings for his personal / political gains. To me, he's no different than Fazal-ur-Rehman or all other religious politicians who are aiming for political gains by using their religious influences.
Yes, MQM is not made up of lotas, conscience sellers.. you are perfectly right about this.
BUT rather MQM is made up of Gangs, murderers, deceits, street criminals and paid killer, which is 10 times worst than those lotas or conscience sellers. I guess I don't have to remind how people are being snatched from their money in day light in Karachi, google "Bhatta" and you'll find every detail you want. People can't even do sacrifice of animals on Eid with peace in Karachi because of MQM. they endured army operation because they deserved it and they still do.
Yes and there is a solid reason for this. Ever heard of term "Bori"..??
