Iqbal’s ideology and Jinnah’s faith died soon after them, if not with them, for those who jumped on this bandwagon had their own agendas which, unfortunately for us, they have succeeded in implementing.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>A problem can be solved only when it is seen and recognized as such—it cannot be wished away. I don’t think Rumi would be interested in the future of a people who are so far removed from spirituality despite the proliferation of shrines where they seek escape more than solutions or service to fellowmen. I hate to be the needle that pricks the bubble of optimism—there will be change, as it is a natural consequence, but I don’t believe I’ll be around when it happens. So good luck to you all in your efforts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111335432354948355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751964279420308191.post-62934231786700790642008-07-10T12:13:00.000+06:002008-07-10T12:13:00.000+06:00A new society based on Sufi principles...cannot wa...A new society based on Sufi principles...cannot wait to read more about the development of this notion/vision, congrats on the blog, keep writing!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023183885981054145noreply@blogger.com
