Just to clarify something here. Mullahism is not a new problem. When people talk about Islam and wish for Calipha they ignore some hard facts. After the demise of the Prophet [PBUH] we only saw 30 years, yes exactly 30 years of Rashidun rule or the rightly guided Caliphs. That all ended in blood and gore in 661CE and for the last 1,357 years to this day the Islamic world has been continously divided and not be able to agree on one rule or one interpretation of Islam. Indeed as centuries have piled on since 661CE we have become more divided, more interpretations and more bloodshed.
Moral of the fcukin story? You learn fro history. You learn from failure. You learn from catastrophe. Meaning you don't repeat the same mistake again and again. It's about time religion was restricted to the provate sphere and Mullahism is erased. Or we will continue on the path of division, dischord, sectarianism, schisms for eternity. What does 661 CE to 2018 teach us.
Instead of looking at China the only hope for Pakistan is Kemal Ataturk. He sussed this out in 1920s and laid the future of modern Turkey. Pakistan needs to do the same or more generations will suffer in poverty and ignorance.
