Need your views.
Dont you people think that this 'Ideology tussle' between Islamists and Seculars is the root cause of the current political and social turmoil in Pakistan?

What Jinnah wanted was A PROGRESSIVE ISLAMIC STATE, if you go through his speeches and whatever he said about Pakistan then you'd come to the conclusion that a progressive Islamic state was his ideal for Pakistan. It is the responsibility of each and every educated Pakistani to do her/his own research in order to comprehend these sorts of problems that are still here even after the passage of sixty six long years.
