I am sure that they would go along with the PM if he appealed to their intelligence, and presented worthy shalwar-kameez role models, instead of making arbitrary pronouncements. This process, if you would like to call it that, began in October 1995. Before then my experience with religion was more or less restricted to the Friday prayer congregation in the mosque. There Junaid would listen to talk about the Hereafter, and how everyone would leave all their material possessions behind. It is not my intention to preach and perhaps offend some people.
Religion is a very personal matter.
Junaid has a friend who is a very pious, religious man. He was his schoolmate, and is just like him for all practical purposes, even his name is Junaid. His friend never insisted that he conforms to his viewpoint, but he got him thinking and started him off on a tentative voyage of discovery. Initially he had problems since people used to recognize him in such gathering in spite of his glasses and beard. Finally he began covering his face, but that only made matters worse since he would be the only one in the congregation with a covered face.
