Well faith is a cerntal aspect , so it is great to have however "an Educated mind" is what we crave in Government which can highlight the positive features of faith that is all about protecting minority , charity and social work
My view is Faith is fine but it is not the defecto item , the ideal case is that the people have what we call a sense of "Direction" an ability to accomodate different views and people in Government can debate and analyse the core of all issues from multiple point of view to develop a "Judgement"
If there is is a HARDliner (anyfaith) who can't view dynamics of different cultures and religions and values , it is not idea
A great leadership is somsone who can Love their faith but it does not means you have
Tunnel Vision i.e My way or the highway or if you said anything against my idea I will punch you or take out my sword and will go to Heaven mentality
The problem with Pakistan is that we have certain imported views on Wahabism growing in society which has to be tackled by Education
1- We need Urgent reform in Schools preferabbly a ban on any Un Regulated schools
2- Study religion in Schools by Educated teachers and approved criculam
3- Develop a Mind that can debate about issues
A revolutonary change can happen in Education System if we invest 3-9 Billion Dollars
Close down all Religious schools (Un Regulated) , and promote Approved center of Education (Regulated) . Ensure the students have 70% vs 30% ratio on education of needed skills vs Religious teaching.
Presently we have a segment that is brewing in Pakistan that don't have ability to Accept criticism
on the limitations of society instead of acknowleging the problems the Knee Jerk reaction is I will hit you or I will beat you up , becasue this is the PATH to Heavans
I mean look at Junaid Jamshed , few months ago he was attacked and beaten in Airport by Religious extremist becasue they could not understand his example or point of view and resorted to beating him in public over it. Today there are million people visiting his funeral
Goal:
The goal for Nation should be develop a mind that can judge a situation , and have ability to debate the issue as difficult as the conversation may be. Have ability to have the conversation and also have the composure to walk away from difficult situation. We need scholars and Educated folks who can Openly debate the laws and say look certain aspects of life have to be adjusted (As laws of society are changable unto certain extent)
For example if you are in Arctic you will not wear Shalwar Qamis becasue in your mind you think that is the ideal form of dress that Islamic people should wear not you are in the Arctic you have to adjust to the Condition of Environment you are in and it is 100% correct to adjust this issue
Nor you should resort to attacking anyone who decides to wear Jeans or Pants or T-Shirt etc (As an example)
Example:
We have people like this guy
Whose only qualification is that he attracts a low educated group or may be of certain views
During elections he gives a Sermon
"Election voting to his opponent" is haram ? !
And no one in nation knows why folks like him are in Politics or Government becuase their followers have no mandate or ability to rationally think
"The Lamb follow the sheap hearder!!!"
This person is just tip of iceberg he is prominent , corrupt and undependable yet maintains his status quo , and that is the problem that folks will follow men like him Blindly because they don't have ability to anylse and make informed judgement
Note: Also the quality of folks in Politics is low just because someone is none religious does not mean they are superb politicians we have a general lack of Youth and Leadership overall
