Considering the timing of the release of the data one might be excused in surmising that this could be a planted story to provide an alibi for the US to invade Pakistan.

|

According to a Gilani Research Foundation survey carried out by Gallup Pakistan, more than two third of all Pakistanis (67%) believe that government should take steps for the Islamization of the society. However, 48% say steps should be taken one by one as opposed 31% who state steps should be taken at once.In a survey, a nationally representative sample of men and women from across the country were asked the following question: “In your opinion should government take steps to ‘Islamize’ the society?” Sixty seven percent (67%) replied in affirmative where as only 13% believed that there is no need for ‘Islamization’. A significant 20% gave no response.

As many as 67 per cent people of Pakistan want the government take steps for Islamisation, a clear indication that for whatever reasons they have lost faith in the existing system.
According to a survey carried out by Gilani Research Foundation, 31 per cent people want the government take the required steps at once. However, 48 per cent think that the needed steps should be taken one by one. People approached for survey had been asked: “In your opinion should the government take steps to Islamise the society?” These findings clearly mean that the claims made by various elements that Pakistan should be a secular state are totally baseless and contrary to the wishes of the people.
This is a unique kind of survey carried out by an organization (Gallup Pakistan) in a society where more than 90 per cent people are Muslims, no matter which sect they belong to. That 31 per cent people want ‘immediate’ steps for Islamisation means that they are totally disappointed with the ability of the existing system to solve their problems and want to switch over to the Islamic system, for the sake of which the country had been created in 1947.
According to the survey, 48 per cent people are for a gradual approach. In other words, they want the government to take the required steps one by one.
Without any iota of doubt, these people also pin their hopes on the Islamic system, but want it introduced gradually, which, ostensibly, means that no hasty step should be taken which had the potential to backfire.
Thirteen per cent of those approached for their opinions said there was no need for Islamization. Such people could be secularists, liberals or of the minority communities.
Twenty per cent people, according to the survey, gave no response.
Their decision not to answer the question may mean that for them Islamization is not that important.
Their silence could also be taken to mean that they are not concerned for what the government does, or doesn’t do, on this front.Some comments From Pakistan on this.
I am for Islamic law … very easy to follow, and implement…
Mee too, Or we would have been better off with Secular India if Islam was not the intension…
Shame on the 31% of people who wanted immediate Islamization…illiterate idiots, they should learn from the ‘Pakistani’ democrats sitting in Britain/U.S…
I’d probably put myself in that hated 31%. Not because i dont want an iamic society in Pakistan, but because i dont trust anyone to implement it corre tly, without bias and an agenda. Do we have an institute or collection of institutes who have the means, knowlefdge and will to do such a thing? We need to take immediate steps to build the infrastructure to have islamic state. Judges who cant be bought, generals who will march our army to the gates of hell if needs be for the right reasons, lawyers trained in islamic law, awarenesss programs, teaching of literacy to aid learning of islam at least etc etc.This is a crude example, but how would you migrate all computer systems in an office from windows to open source platforms overnight? You wouldnt, you would make a plan to check compatibility, port data, processes, train staff, etc.
Lets not judge the 31%. With the mullahs we have do you really blame them?..

i am with you in the 31%; for the same reason, we are the cautious ones not anti-islamdoes anyone here think the current leader of the religious party is ready to be the prime minister/president of the country
I doubt itThe Pakistan Army trains its best recruits to be officers; and among the secularists; the best who stay in Pakistan go to the best universities in Pakistan; get overseas degrees; and those that come back run the big companies
In this same way; a group of top universities need to be formed; and those that have the best potential from among the religious minded people should be trained in all fields; along with co-education step by step, alongside, in islam
these students become Scholars in the true sense of the word; experts in their fields; top notch engineers, agriculutral engineers, doctors, scientists, artists, writers, poets, journalists, basically all fields
and these students are trained in religious instruction; in the logical incremental method of the university of timbuktu (Primary School; Secondary (High) School, University, and Gradate School; worldly knowledge and religious instruction)
when it comes to Law; this is where these students will be key; because some will specialize and go all the way; islamic lawyers and judges, with full training in all the secular arts and sciences (just like islamic scholars during the golden age)
and these scholars will debate, openly, for all to see (remember before asking the people, democratically, to accept or reject their vision), and they should publish their debates, allow scholars from around the world to debate, and in a way form a concenus, that is valid for all muslims
this way they will have visibly shown Islamic law (majority of the scholars judgements) and that it is the same islam accepted all over the islamic world
and therefore have the legitimacy to run a government (if the people wish it, after seeing what it would really be like)The 48 per cent people, who want a gradual approach, also pin their hopes on the Islamic system, but want it to be introduced gradually, which ostensibly means that they think any hasty steps might have the potential to backfire.
Thirteen per cent of those approached for their opinions said that there was no need for Islamisation. Such people could be secularists, liberals or of the minority communities.
Twenty per cent people gave no response, which may mean that Islamization is not that important for them.
