Greetings, and welcome to the World Affairs Board!
The World Affairs Board is the premier forum for the discussion of the pressing geopolitical issues of our time. Topics include military and defense developments, international terrorism, insurgency & COIN doctrine, international security and policing, weapons proliferation, and military technological development.
Our membership includes many from military, defense, academic, and government backgrounds with expert knowledge on a wide range of topics. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so why not register a World Affairs Board account and join our community today?
Many people who would otherwise be moderate could be forced to go with the flow. The general polity may harden.
Even a strongman and a dictator like Musharraf could not take on the religious brigade and implement his publicly announced policies (like controlling Madressas, removing the pledge with passport applications that Ahmedias are not Muslims and also I think the blasphemy law).
Also, many people are devout Muslims and they really can't take any blasphemous behavior. I read of a recent survey in Pakistan where more than 80% wanted death for the apostates for example.
Mind you, the same people get very happy when anyone anywhere converts to Islam. Am I glad others don't kill their apostates!
There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t..
