yera, because we are an ideological state in the end! there is no proper survival for us in this modern digital age without this, where is cyber space to over too and the ideological and their indoctrination plays vital part among the masses......Problem is we r far far behind in this aspect, and we still remain vulnerable to this day from these foreign ideologies and their indoctrination among the vulnerable youth of our country. Now when it comes to Muslims, we can still manage it like we already did in War on terror but with non muslims things get difficult, since they dont believe in Islam etc etc, the old typical reasons.....So why not make Pakistan a religiously monolithic society? Get rid of root cause.....Im not asking for discrimination, just get rid of the problem is what im propagating.
Actually let me explain it further, During Ayub Khan era post independence such things were heavily under discussion, and the decision was made then abt going Islamic Gen Zia just carried that strategy and it was him who actually or in reality implemented it. It wasnt like Zia was the boogeyman that we r made to believe he only implemented what was already decided beforehand.
And what was decided during ayub khan era was that, since Pakistan lives in a very vulnerable region, where we have Afghanistan at one end and India on the other, what we require as a nation is unity above all. Now Pakistan being so diverse and with that age old Indus divide and for the fact that this region of hindustan/south asia has been religious for the past 8000 years ie pre Islam era......So the most unifying factor was chosen to be Islam, on her principles ie Sharia/Shariat nation was supposed to be build then onwards.
Now that we have made it a proper Islamic Republic then what next? for that the decision was to give our people a goal and a purpose which was to reestablished our Muslim Empire in South Asia, what followed was Afghan war, Kashmir uprising and so on etc etc.....Now that Pakistan and India both r nuke states, this had complicated things......So the solution was that instead of recapturing India and going back into old sufi ways to spread Islam among the non Muslim population....It was decided that we should now build our power enough to entirely annihilate the non Muslims of India or just go for all population of India's annihilation. So that they in future wont be able to regroup and fight our future generations and challenge their might ever again like the did when British arrived and rebelled against the Kings back then after Aurangzeb's death or how rajpoots were doing during Akbar era and he had to take this 'romantic' route to control them and bring them in the fold of Islam over time.
The non Muslim prosecution of 90s and 2000s in Pakistan actually was part of this plan and strategy, which continues because inorder to annihilate them we need to get rid of the vulnerable part of our society which are not as tuned in as the Muslim citizens of Pakistan are.
Now however with that Asia Bibi case and Cyril Almeida episode, new tactics are required which are more intune with modern 21st century digital age........which is make for them harder to survive in Pakistan and tweak laws and amand it needed and redefine the statements of our founding father and the ideologies to make that happen......Just like how west is trying to get rid of Muslims by putting restrictions for them and so is Israel doing which is another ideological state just like us.
This is vital to ensure our long term survival and stability in this enemy ridden region that we live in. Remove the source of the problem and go for the kill let there be no reason and no entity living and surviving to challenge our domination EVER AGAIN.....BTW in future Afghanistan will also be invaded too just like India...whether we do that before india or after remains to be seen.
Just like We developed the Strategy to deal with pagans called Sufism.......This is the new strategy developed post independence when that old strategy was deemed unnecessary and outdated when Pakistan was made which already had Muslims in domination and in majority and to challenge the new threats and concerns which come along with it ie a Muslim State carved out of a pagan region and the pagans being not able to digest and face the reality of her existence. Now inorder for its smooth transition into our society we need to get rid of non muslims within and outside in this region and then Globally in future.
