Guys like @
Zarvan are diminishing lot, for sure, in Pakistan. While there is a lot of talk about 'Talibanization' or 'Islamization' of Pakistan in this forum and in the world media, in my mind, since 1988 (Zia's Death) Pakistan is slowly, but surely, clawing its way out of the cesspool of Zia's 11 year 'Islamic' rule. Once the WOT is over then human nature of enjoying life will prevail again. I have no doubt about that.
Zarvan talks about the 'true' Islam etc. I have seen a lot of those arguments in the 80's. They were the dominant theme in Pakistan then, thanks to Zia. It went like: All of our problems will be solved if only we truly followed Islamic laws. One of those Islamic laws was against usury. Zia introduced PLS Accounts in banking (Profit Loss Sharing Accounts). It really did not lurch the society toward being more Islamic.
Anyway, study Zarvan and his ilk like a relic. Sort of study North Korea like a relic, although from a completely different political spectrum.
Zarvan and his ilk need to know that Pakistan already had the quite possibly the best version of Islam through from 1947 through the 1970's: A sufi oriented, egalitarian, tolerant Islam, despite occasional Shia-Sunni, Deobandi-Bralvi problems. Let's try to go back to that as far as spiritualism in Pakistan is concerned. Pakistan was neither too-open nor too closed. Neither Turkey. Nor Saudi Arabia.
