Re: What to do about the mullah probelm in Pak?
I dont' know much about pakistan. but from my fellow muslim friends what i got is islam as a religion is not bad but few people are taking undue advantages and trying others to take steps which are forbidden in kuran/islam (like killing, opium, arms etc).
What mullah think and teach is calling for Jehad is reserved and only the can use it but i read one article that islam permits any one to call for jehad if it's for good of mankind and is to do the right thing. Also recently few islamic groups ruled that forceful conversion to islam just to get married is not permitted in Islam and one should convert only if they have faith in religion.
My personal thinking is - one should change as par the time. So studying in madarassa is old fashioned way of study B'cos all of us know learning science/medicine/engineering or foreign language is good for us and our country. If you educate new generation they will stay away from this kind of people who make use of them in name of 'jehad'
my friends also told me that middle east countries (arab world) are way ahead in study pattern than us desi counterpart even though they are muslim too.
