Daar het Pakistan-project duidelijk totaal mislukt is proberen de heerschappen nu hun beloofde land uit te kerven in Groot-Brittannië.

Over dat beloofde land Pakistan, een prachtig stukje uit V.S. NAIPAUL, Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey, New York, 1981, ISBN 0-394-71195-5

p. 90

The state [Pakistan] withered; But faith didn’t. Failure only led back to the faith. The state had been founded as a homeland for Muslims. If the state failed, it wasn’t because the dream was flawed, or the faith flawed; it could only be because men had failed the faith. A purer and purer faith began to be called for. And in that quest for the Islamic absolute – the society of believers, where every action was instinct with worship – men lost sight of the political origins of their state. They forgot the secular ambitions of Mr. Jinnah, the state’s political founder, who (less philosophical than Iqbal) wanted only a state where Muslims wouldn’t be swamped by non-Muslims. Even Iqbal was laid aside. Extraordinary claims began to be made for Pakistan: it was founded as the land of the pure; it was to be the first truly Islamic state since the days of the Prophet and his close companions.

Dit stukje beschrijft op een prachtige manier -- Naipaul verdiende terecht de Nobelprijs Literatuur in 2001 -- hoe het "denken" van Mohammed's volgelingen in zijn werk gaat: If the state failed, it wasn’t because the dream was flawed, or the faith flawed; it could only be because men had failed the faith. A purer and purer faith began to be called for. ...

N.B.: dit boek dateert van 1981! We zien vandaag dat die trend zich steeds verder zet, overal ter wereld waar Mohammed's volgeling kozen zich te vestigen.
