Well good luck with that than…

The problem with the religious mindset is strict adherence (by any means) to certain conservative ethos. Its the kind of mentality that discourages flexibility. So for example, will this 'proper" religious education allow a more visible presence of women in society ? Will they allow groups like the Ahmadi to practice their religion without interference and with full freedom (meaning being able to give the azaan, to use Islamic text on their masjids etc), will they allow people to live their lives as they wish (Celebrating Valentines day for example). There are a lot of things that the religious Muslim mind will not tolerate. How to get around that problem?

Those are statecraft issues and need to be managed by the state … The religious institutes will have to be in a different capacity having said all that not all individuals will be persuaded to side with the government’s policies. Often laws are put in place to get more votes … Not because they think it’s the right thing to do.
