is hafiz asad solution possible in pakistan

hafiz asad belonged to the alavid sect a sub sect or similar sect of shias like nurbakshi ismaili so when he launched the mass killings in Homs it was eliminating the hard cores in the sunni majority...when the british raised the hazara pioneers a 100 % shia hazara mongol force the british rationale was that since the hazaras then believed that killing any sunni would straight give them a position in paradise( refers brig gen dyers memoirs of leading hazara pioneers against iranian baloch in first world war)....similarly the british successfilly used the 100 % turi shias in kurram against all sunni tribes of pashtuns......but all this is sectarian...the situation in pakistan is far more complex and to compound it has taken an ethnic form...pashtun versus punjabi

Can't disagree with that Pavo Sahib. They did the same in Iraq and succeeded to some extent in creating enough anarchy to rule unhindered in Baghdad, and would like to do the same in Pakistan.
