28. What is your view on a statement made by a Pakstani writer that ‘today a person is more afraid of going to pray in Pakistan than in Israel’?

This is because while the Jews progressed, Muslims remained behind in a ghetto mentality. The mindset of Jews changed as they went into Diaspora. If the ulema would not have deprived Muslims of modern education, their mindset would have changed and such a situation would have never arisen at all. Modern education would have deconditioned Muslims, but since they did not accept it their progress did not happen.
