Yusuf,
The average Paksitani elite are not the one's who spew this venom. Its the pro establishment lobby which is as shrewd as a jackal, who know, that if they have to continue to hold power, constantly, they have to do couple of things.
1. Keep legitimising the 2 nation theory.
2. Keep the Islam vs Jew/Hindu/Christian BS propaganda upbeat.
3. Maintain an fear of western/modern/open scocietal values amongst masses.
4. Blow the nuclear trumpet to grab leadership/patronage from the muslim world.
5. Keep using non-state actors, while providing state support to drive their own goal.
6. Drug their population about the imminent birth and rise of the final prophet who will lead Pakistan to its undisputable, ultimate glory of world leadership with its nukes.
As a Shia, you must be aware that Shias believes that the prophet is already born, he is just not visible, while the pro Sunni establishment is savoring the idea of the birth of an antichrist type of a character, who would glorify Pakistan and their definition of Islam to its ultimate glory through war/arms and large scale bloodshed. This country has degraded in a complete state of denial. I'm at times lost while thinking, how could a population who shared the very values and bread with 120 billion Indians, both hindus as well as their fellow muslims, just some 60 years back, degrade and change so drastically? What have they done with their population, most importantly their youth who are ready to blow themselves up for transnational pseudo religious issues, having NOTHING to do with anything concerning their country?
The heart and mind heavies with sadness and a sense of loss.
