Deep down every pakistani know the reality.
There is a qouta system of personality types and affinities in every society around the world.the islamic world is no exception,they have their nerds and 'intellectuals' too.the thing is due to the framework provided by the politico-religious entity known as islam,the religious Mullah types is given the highest authority and the tankies of these variety are seen as the ones worthy of greatest respect.the self defence mechanism of islam are the strongest I have seen compared to any other religion and require dedicated planning and execution to overcome.i have explained about these mechanism before in previous posts.
The guy in the post is probably a nerdy or thinking type by nature and hence won't find islam the most appealing and islam won't find him appealing in reverse.IRL he will shut up and not support any anti islamic undertaking due to the presence of religious tankies in his midst.
The only reliable counter against them is a somewhat secular tankie usually from a military background planning and executing a coup and putting legislation in place to ban the religious tankies operations and probably destroying the source of their authority by formally adopting a modified Qur'an like in china.he should after that put a set up to prevent armed counter revolution and gradually grind down the ranks of the religious.
The problem in Pakistan is unique in that their case due to historical circumstances and happenings the religious tankie and the somwhat secular tankie have been United at the hip for sometime and hence these guys in the post do not have any heavy support to gaurd them.
One thing that imran and pakistan is saying is true though, today pakistan is more closer to islam than the gulf states and it shows in the things you can get away with in thier street in the name of islam.
