Re: 21st Islamic Unity Conference
Islamic unity is not possible. It is not that unity is a bad idea. It is just that the very Islam has been used to create emotional outbursts for the last 1000 years.
Flag bearers of Islam cannot say prayer in the same mosque (or behind an Imam of a different muslak), then the unity remains a pipe dream at best.
In the context of Pakistan, the unity is even more difficult. The more "Muslim" you are in Pakistan, the more tightly bound you are with your own sect.
Moharram is a good test when 100s of Police officers are posted to prevent clashes between sunnis and shias.
If you read one sect's teachings, it would clearly say that all other sects are bunch of heretics, or worse simply "kaffir".
In that kind of environment, unity is very very hard to get, even if we really want to have it.
