So far, we have seen the following justifications for Imran's extreme jahaalat in this thread:
- it was a bosa and not a sajda
- Sharifs and Bhuttos also believed in pir murshid
- it is his personal life
To shed some light on the bosa vs sajda debate, here is another video which I think clearly shows that he is doing a sajda:

I respect the passion with which Insaafiyans and Junoonis defend their savior, but we need to look at it from a different perspective as well. The main issue that so many people have with what Imran is doing is because it represents his desperation for power, and how low he will steep for it.
The Sharifs and Bhuttos have traditionally visited mazaars, it has been a family affair for them. On the other hand, Imran was nothing like what he is today, and his evolution into a man who believes in mystics and superstitions is the outcome of using any means necessary to reach your goal.
It started out with Imran taking U-turns and walking back on his manifesto, he then proceeded to sympathize with TTP before he finally woke up after APS, he also polished military boots with Kiwi shoe polish, and then he proceeded to redefine the definition of electables.
Of course, the insaafiyans believed in his original definition of electables for years, but now that he has changed the definition, they are ready to go along with it.
Imran: A is right and B is wrong.
Insaafiyans: Jee huzoor
Imran: A is wrong and B is right.
Insaafiyans: Jee huzoor
It is quite disappointing to see that his supporters have lost the ability and the intelligence to think for themselves, and look at things in a objective manner and have some perception. However, that is what happens in a cult.
The followers become nothing more than a herd of sheep. They will go anywhere that the shepherd takes them. I can guarantee 100% that if Imran comes out tomorrow and asserts that this pir murshid is nonsense and has no place in Islam, the insaafiyians would agree with him. This is how ridiculous and I would say dangerous it has become.
It was tolerable as long as Imran was doing what he was doing within the realms of politics. However, now he has reached the depths of insanity. What else do people want to call a man who had a mother of four - the White Priestess - divorced because he thinks she will help him become the PM.
The White Priestess who claimed that the Prophet PBUH paid her a visit in her dreams and told her that if she marries Imran, he will become the PM. What nonsense is this?
He has become paranoid, superstitious and seems to believe in witchcraft now. From marrying a priest to a walking around Jeddah airport without his shoes and kissing and doing sajdas out of respect to dead men?
What next? Is he going to walk on burning coal and drink blood? I wouldn't put it past him because it appears that he will do anything if it will help him gain power. It is simply not an issue of his personal life anymore because he is simply not in the right frame of mind at the moment.
I think he needs therapy, he is mentally unstable and the quest to win the elections has had an impact on his sanity. He needs to wake up and realize what he is doing to himself, he is walking on a very dangerous path, a path that has no end - extremism never leads to good things, and he is becoming an extremist.
On a side note, people are surfacing pictures of Bilawal participating in Hindu rituals. Well I think that is wonderful - Pakistan is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to treatment of religious minorities, and such gestures would go a long way in promoting interfaith harmony and making the minorities feel like they are Pakistanis and belong in this country.
Admittedly, this is an alien concept for our people who are not used to this treatment. They think more along the lines of the goons who shot down a Sikh leader in Peshawar a month ago, simply because he was arranging iftaris and sehris for Muslims in his community.
I would much rather have Imran visit mandirs, gurdwaras and churches and show his support for minorities rather than kiss and bow down to the graves of dead saints with the White Priestess.
