You cannot simply brand all non-shias of Pakistan into one group and name it sunni.
Pakistanis are basically divided into three sub sects not two.
Salafi - Deoband and wahabi
Sufi - Barelvi
Shia
And i term sects that combine jihad(armed movement) and Takfir(Everyone else except you is misguided and punishable) ideologies as Salafi
While Shias and Salafis are in minority. Sufis are the majority in Pakistan. And it is the Shias and Salafi who are at war with each other for all the bad reasons.
The growth of Salafi influence in Pakistan was all due to Zia regime and government patronization
Majority Pakistanis dont give shit to these terror outfits.
You cannot simply call it a Shia Sunni conflict. Their is no such thing as a Sunni in Pakistan. Sufi and Salafi Mullahs hate each other to core
You are Right that it is not the shia - sunni conflict. but the problem is that the Wahabist/Salafists hide behind sunnis and call themselves as sunni and always try to make it as shia - sunni conflict. ASWJ is just one example.
The local Pakistani culture is a sufi-based culture and peaceful where all communities were living peacefully without any problem till the wahabism started by the Saudi puppets in pak military. Now this minority salafi is ruling over Pakistan and its first target are the shias.
So Blaming Shias is completely wrong as majority of the victims of wahabi/salafist are Non-Shias.
Salafist/wahabists have targeted communities globally where shias do not even exist. They are targeting all communities globally.
Therefore those who say it is the shia-sunni conflict infact do not understand the nature of the conflict.
The one who is resisting these wahabi/salafi terrorists are Only shias thus making it wahabi/shia and according to wahabis it is shia/sunni conflict.
Palestine could not be sold by the Arabian kings due to Shia opposition. Syria could not fall, Iraq is also not fully in their hands and even yemen has also started resisting the wahabi.salafi. In Pakistan these wahabis/salafis fear shias far more than majority sunnis.
That is the reason many other communities support shias rather than wahabis. Those who will look into the conflict will not support wahabi.salafis.
In Pakistan these wahabis/salafis powered by petro dollars have prepared a generation to dominate the country.
