In the last few decades, Pakistani Muslims, particularly Sunni Muslims, have been experiencing a phenomenon which has been described by Professor Pervez Hoodbhoy as Saudi-ization of Pakistan.
Many Sunni Barelvis and moderate Deobandis and Ahl-e-Hadith have been undergoing a subtle transformation to more puritanical and intolerant Wahhabi-Salafi ideology and interpretation of Islam.
Barelvis (Sufis) are shifting towards Deobandis while Deobandis are shifting towards Wahhabis. Even Ahl-e-Hadith of the Subcontinent are converting to more intolerant version of Saudi Wahhabi-Salafi Islam.
According to a recent survey by Pew research, in Shia majority countries (e.g., Iraq, Lebanon), most Shias accept Sunnis as Muslims. Converse is not necessarily true in Sunni majority countries (e.g., Egypt, Pakistan etc). Increasing hatred of Shias, Sufis/Barelvis and Ahmadis in Sunnis indicates growing Wahhabi/Salafi influence in Muslim countries and communities.
Most interestingly, but not surprisingly (due to Saudi-project of unifying all Sunnis in Wahhabi-Salafi brand of Islam), majority of Sunnis in Pakistan seem to be unaware of important differences between Sunni Barelvis, Deobandis and Wahhabis.
