Pakistan: Dream Unfulfilled

Many people assume that because Pakistan was founded to be a separate homeland in the subcontinent for the Muslims, that its founder Mohammed Ahi Jinnah must have been a theocrat. Yet as Ahmad Rashid, famous Pakistani author of the books Taliban and Jihad writes in the Daily Telegraph (reprinted in the Standard), that is not the case.

Read this excellent article on how a dream to found a secular Muslim nation that would keep religion private has been hijacked by dictators, extremists, Saudi money and corrupt politicians to create a breeding ground for terrorism.
