The word Mullah takes on different meanings in different contexts. In Iran it is used for a person who knows jurisprudence and leads the congregation. Before the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 'Mullah' was used in this sense. After the revolution it was replaced by such titles as Ayatollah and Hujatul. In Afghanistan and rural areas in Pakistan 'Mullah' denoted a congregation leader. Shia Mullahs follow Iranian usage. Their Sunni and Wahabi counterparts prefer to be addressed as Mufti or Moulvi Sahib or the Moulani, but still use the term Mullah for themselves.

The founder of the Wahabi sect was Sheikh Abdul Wahab from the Najid province of present day Saudi Arabia. He interpreted Islam as a puritan religious movement owing much to the Bedouin tradition. The Sheikh supported the Arab rebellion against the Turks during the First World War. Thereafter, the Wahabi brand of Islam enjoyed the official patronage of the British in the Gulf. After the installation of the Saudi dynasty in 1922, Wahabi Islam became the undeclared official religion of Saudi Arabia. Since the emergence of Al-Qaeda, in the 1980s, a triangular relationship between Al-Qaeda, Saudi clergy and the Saudi royal family developed; this enjoyed American patronage until 11 September 2001. The Wahabis of the subcontinent call themselves Daobandis, after Daoband, in the suburbs of Delhi, All the Wahabis of the subcontinent were originally educated there. Thus the Sindhi Wababis, who have many madrassahs in Thahri, call themselves Daobandis but the common people address them as Wahabis and this popular term has been used in this paper.

Sir Oliver Forster, the British High Commissioner to Pakistan in the mid-1980s, narrated an interesting story about Zia's pretensions to public piety. At one stage, Margaret Thatcher, then British prime minister, along with her Foreign Secretary, Sir Geoffey Howe, visited Torkham, the border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Zia suddenly said that he should be excused from conversation because he had to offer noon prayers. While he was offering his prayers not far from the guests, Sir Geoffrey commented on what a devout Muslim he was. Mrs Thatcher instantly retorted what a good friend of the West he was.

I have borrowed this idea from the late Professor F. S. Northedge, who spoke of "the blob of tension" in the international context. According to him, conflict is a perennial factor in the international political system: whenever it recedes in one region of the world, it increases in another. For details, see, London: Faber and Faber. From the Northedge viewpoint the balance of conflict, like the balance of power, is something natural which functions automatically in the international political system. I have applied this model in the context of Pakistan's domestic situation. However, the relationship between ethnic and sectarian tension in Pakistan is not automatic but is manipulated by the army in order to gain greater leverage in national politics
