Re: Cultural Influence on conecpt of God, etc
The government brainwashed people, madrassahs were setup for the purpose, people brought from all over the world to fight a jehad. The curriculum was changed, and a soft corner was developed among the public for the ‘jehad’. It has had its toll on KPK/FATA as that was the front line for the ‘jehad’. KPK is also the land of Khushhal Khan Khattak and Rahman Baba. All the important sufi’s who are buried in Punjab and Sindh came from Central Asia. If you see the muslim world 1000 years back you will see Rumi and others present every where. Where as Wahabism movement started in the 1700’s.
Back in the 17-18th C people from West used to come to Middle East and Asia in order to be more free, have more freedom of thought and to learn about poets like Rumi. It was completely different then to now.
