^Thats correct, a political leader aware of religious principles and of pubic's rligious sentiment is better than a religious man making political decisions.
Te other way i think is to make Madrassas more accountable to public, afterall they run on charity and its publics money. At present Madrassa management is not accountable to anyone, they do as they please. How can this be done is the question.
Agree with first point. The leader needs to above-average in both spheres of religion and politics.
On your seond point, well if the people fund the madrasshs, then shouldn't the people check on how their charity is getting spent. Which brings me back to my point, reform starts with the character of people not institutions. Institutions are characterless faces of the society. Its the people from the society which give it a face. Pakistani's need a lot of character building.
