The mullah is not the threat. The blind following of disciples is
2016-04-15
[NATION.PK] Having spent some time with the Lahore blast victims on a daily basis for the last few days, I have made a very strong connection with them. Throughout this time, there were many people here from different walks of life, just there for the victims’ moral support. There were students, teachers, youngsters, mothers and even those who had nothing material to contribute, but were just there to lend helping hands.

While I spent a few days there, I did not see a single self-proclaimed "Aashiq-e-Rasool" maulvi around condoling people who lost their loved ones, especially the kids who lost their parents with no one there to claim them. Later I realized that in order to be a real admirer of our Prophet, all you need to do is follow his footsteps and traits ‐ simple as that. When I see young likeminded volunteers cheering up the patients, boosting up their morale, distributing iPads and cycles among kids, it depicts the true face of humanity, which ought to be one of the supreme teachings of Islam. To me every volunteer out there is a true admirer of our Prophet.

Now coming back to patients, out of more than fifty patients in Jinnah and Sheikh Zayed hospitals, I was amazed to see their strong mental state and morale. The best part was that none of them, in spite of going through such a traumatizing event, had any complaints against the government or blamed anyone for security lapse. They were all on the same ground, with the same stance, that there is no detector ever invented yet which can detect this brainwashed breed of jacket wallahs.

#2  With somebody half-way sane in charge, we'd turn Islam into religion of Peace in a jiffy

Yeah, we just need to explain it to them in language they can understand, and help them appreciate our sincerity. I don't know what the going rate is, but we had to nuke the Japanese twice to make it clear we weren't messing around.

#1  The mullah is not the threat.

Western elites are the threat. With somebody half-way sane in charge, we'd turn Islam into religion of Peace in a jiffy (and solve their overpopulation problem at the same time).
