I agree with him on sectarianism, this is an issue we need to have good, hard talk with Iran, our shias are in important positions and if seceterianism rise
our society can unravel (brain drain, lower sections of society finding this as an expression to vent out their frustration) , so this is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS OUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, this can potentially turn scary (same with the Saudi ideology it also leads to sectarianism, both need cutting)
The issue is having sections of population, much as one can say for another small but controversial sect or an ethnicity in Karachi or the northwest having overly close relationships or loyalty to a country outside of Pakistan.
- We share a religion with Iran
- Our culture and language is born of Persia and shared.
- We must have excellent relationship with them
- Both countries should have influence on each other’s geopolitical decisions and cooperate wherever possible
However, the influence should not compromise one country or seek to destabilize and manipulate the society of another.
The GCC have used the Harmain and their Arab ethnicity to manipulate a lot of things in Pakistan and elsewhere so the Iranians needed to create a second Kaaba in Iran to solidify Shia attachment. There probably is more donation given at Imam Khomenei’s shrine than at Karbala even though one was a local political leader and the other the grandson of the prophet and king of martyrs.
The entire narrative of Shiaism has been slowly and surely manipulated to ensure it passes through Iran and religious guidance centered from there.
The difference is that most Pakistanis and Sunni Pakistanis today reiterate their loyalty to the Kaaba and not the family of Saud .. after meeting with Shias in the military, in bureaucracy and then politicians I cannot say the same for the loyalty to Iran as being a niche minority.
Again..while the tone of the above reads sectarian, it is wholly unrelated to the aspect of today’s muslims arguing over what happened and who did what regarding interpersonal relationships between much much better and greater muslims some 1450 years ago.. I an not an idiot to tempt Allah’s wrath from commenting on them. This is an antagonizing and deeply personal belief issue that went from arab tribal conflicts to now geopolitical arenas and I do apologize for offending people but I see no better way in my limited vocabulary or IQ to present it.
