I don't believe everyone is completely ignorant per se over there. But the level of blind religious propaganda as a tool of subjugation and indoctrination of the less enlightened in Pakistan is higher than in the East - that I am certain about. The causative element is again, the need to subjugate people in the name of something (religion is conveniently omnipresent), lack of exposure and lack of questioning basic concepts like strict literal religious dogma.
Even in formative years of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) back in the Islamic Golden Age, there existed a system of reasonable debate and discourse. No longer in the 21st century.
Blind dogma presents the worst caveman quality that our religion has ever presented, led by cavemen type uncivilized figureheads in today's Islamic world led by Sharia countries. Hence the worst qualities of Islam presented to the world in vivid reality (like medieval public beheading and subjugation of women), further negative propaganda about Islam by its enemies is wholly redundant and unnecessary.
Things are bad. We live in the darkest age of Islam worldwide as Muslims, that even the most learned Muslims will admit.
You are following the wrong religion then. Why not convert to Hinduism , or better yet convert to Asra Nomani kind of liberal pseudo-Islam?
Why not look inward if Islam is declining in Bangladesh? Why not do something about your atheistic epidemic or conversion to Hinduism? Bangladeshis are the only Muslims I currently know whose women are intermarrying with Hindu males. Your society has deep issues. Don't blame Islam for it.
Islam is on an upturn, regardless of propaganda against our faith, both from the West and East. At no other time in the last 70 or so years have so many Muslim countries been on the same page about their issues.
Over here in what you call the Western subcontinent, we are not in any crisis as far as our faith or identity.
There are way more girls in primary to tertiary level education in Bangladesh than boys.
Women are the majority of graduates of medical schools in Pakistan.
Your whole post was just hot air to inflate your ego.
Probably you are still looking at statistics from the 90s. Newsflash, its 2018 now and Pakistan is rising in all spheres: economy, military, agriculture, technology, medicine, research, engineering, etc.
