“The generals who had called Zia a mullah (A Religious Scholar, traditionally speaking of a very high rank) behind his back felt ashamed at having underestimated him: not only was he a mullah, he was a mullah whose understanding of religion didn't go beyond parroting what he had heard from the next mullah. A mullah without a beard, a mullah in a four-star general's uniform, a mullah with the instincts of a corrupt tax inspector.”
Zia when in front of the Islamic republic would give speeches about religion, in order to portray that he was a religious man.
The above quote aptly describes Zia's character. He would talk the talk, but certainly not walk the walk. In action he would defy the very Islamic Values he would talk about in his speeches. He would order the killing of Scholars and loot the countries resources.
