to be very frank, as much as i want this country to get rid of religious extremists, so do i want to get rid of secular extremists! But then reality strikes and I make a second wish: let them both stay and keep fighting each other so the remaining majority may live in peace. Two opposite extremes balance the whole system.
both parties have a fundamental problem of ignorance.
Any country's progress depends on civilian institutions: education and health infrastructure, apolitical police, FIA, IB, NAB, Judiciary, Strong Local Govts. I fail to see how does 'secularism' or 'religion' stops us from achieving it.
