They were loath to take to western learning as it would, they thought, produce disbelief in the Muslim faith. It was argued that to read English was forbidden by the laws of Islam. “Pride of race, memory of bygone superiority, religious fears and a not natural attachment to the learning of” Islam were some of the most powerful factors which precluded the Muslims from accepting their new position. They were not prepared to change with the times.”	Dr Waheed-ud-Din Siddiqui in " Towards Pakistan"
“While the Muslims thus sulked in the corner brooding over their misfortunes, the majority community, with its traditional flexibility of mind, continued to make a great progress.”	Dr Waheed-ud-Din Siddiqui in " Towards Pakistan"
“They desperately needed a bold leader who can pull them out of the quagmire and stem the tide of their further degeneration. It was at this time that Syed Ahmed Khan came forward to lead the destinies of his co-religionists and help them steer through stormy seas of ignorance and superstitions to safe shores of confidence and fresh aspirations.”	Dr Waheed-ud-Din Siddiqui in " Towards Pakistan"
