It wasn't only as a consquence of my new Humanist duties that my knowledge of Islamic history remained slender (thogh I noticed that those who studied it diligently and were awarded universtiy degrees did not appear to know much more than I did). As the years progressed, Pakistan regressed. Islaiat - the stdy of Island - was made compunsory in the late Seventies, and still the children gained only a very liminted knowledge, a tiny sprinkling of history on a very large pertion of fairy-tales and mythology.
My interest in Islam lay dormant till the Third Oil War (also known as the Gulf War) in 1990. The Second Oil War in 1967 had seen Israiel, backed by the West, inflit a severe defeat on the combined might of Arab nationalism, from which it never really recovered.
