[quote]Isfandyar you write so beautifully your usage of words, I  wish I was so eloquent. I understand what you are saying and also agree to it to some extent. When I say I don't see it coming I don't mean you are wrong but that the conditions are such that it is going to take a long time for this thought to take root in our minds. Poverty and lack of education has left our common man open to exploitation and that is what is happening be it religion or democracy the result is the same. Tolerance and respect of  individual thought has no place in our society. Inquisitiveness is killed in a  child from day one. We cannot tolerate questions all we want is obedience, when independent thought is not present then there cannot be scientific investigation or innovation. 
             Religion has become a ritual it has not affected our souls we go through the rituals everyday every month every year but it does not affect our being our core. We are the same inside we will cheat exploit lie kill etc.
              I know you are saying precisely the opposite of all that is happening you are saying religion from the heart the way our prophet preached and practiced. Right now how I see it is religion  being used not for salvation but as a weapon, as a means of control. People will only stand up and say no more when they have a basic education which is meaningful and opens the mind to think independently.[/quote]
