En stor Galluppundersökning i Pakistan
avslöjar att 67 % önskar att samhället
ska islamiseras. Det visar att en tydlig
majoritet av folket tar avstånd från
författningens krav på Pakistan som en
demokratisk och sekulär stat....
**
According to a survey carried out by Gilani 
Research Foundation, 31 percent people 
want the government to take steps for 
Islamisation immediately, however, 48 
percent 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 show that the claims 
made by various elements that Pakistan 
should be a secular state are totally base-
less and contrary to the wishes of the people, 
The Nation reports. 
This is a unique kind of survey carried out 
by an organization (Gallup Pakistan) in a 
society where more than 90 percent people 
are Muslims, no matter which sect they 
belong to. 
**
That 31 percent 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. 
The 48 percent 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 percent 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 percent people gave no 
response, which may mean that 
Islamization is not that important 
for them. 
Their silence could also be taken to 
mean that they are not concerned 
for what the government does or 
does not do on this front.
