After partition Pakistan%u2019s population had 15 percent Hindus and 2 percent Christians.... General Zia-ul-Haq during his tenure as President systematically erased this multi-cultural heritage replacing it by radical Islamicisation of civil society and the army.... Since partition, the growth of the minority population in India has been manifold while Pakistan%u2019s minority population has dwindled from 15 percent to just 1 percent. ...The biggest mistake that Pakistan made was in not supporting its minority communities.... Fifteen percent Hindus would have turned the country into a more democratic, liberal society.... But when this 15 percent was annihilated, converted or sent out of Pakistan and were replaced by mono-religious zealots and it has weighed heavily on Pakistan, leading to total chaos and fundamentalism.

But what is the cause. Gen Zia did as per what the Quran adviced him to do. so he was a good muslim. You cannot blame him because the idealogy of hate is fostered and incited by Quran
