🔄 Timeline: How Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza’s Tone Evolved

PeriodTone & FocusKey Themes / Behavior
2014–2018🔥 Confrontational & Reformist- Aggressively exposed sectarian scholars (Sunni, Shia, Deobandi, Barelvi)
- Called out fabricated Hadith, weak scholarship
- Criticized Maulana Tariq Jameel, Zakir Naik, etc.
- Refused to align with any school of thought
- Very anti-status quo, both religious and political
2019–2021🧠 Philosophical & Pan-Islamic- Began calling for unity of Muslims, while continuing his critique
- Balanced approach: would still name powerful figures, but also advocate understanding
- Occasionally praised Imran Khan's “efforts” for Muslim world unity
- Still seen as independent and neutral
2022🧭 Cautious but Critical- Criticized Imran Khan's politics and other leaders
- Warned against populism, cult-like following of political figures
- Didn’t praise establishment but avoided naming army directly
- After Imran’s ouster (Apr 2022), shifted toward “I told you so” narrative
2023 (Post-May 9)🧍‍♂️ Defensive & Pro-Establishment- Sharp turn: harshly criticized PTI supporters
- Portrayed May 9 protesters as irrational, disrespectful of army
- Repeatedly defended Army Chief Asim Munir, calling him “a man of deen”
- Started defending Maryam Nawaz’s development initiatives
2024–2025🪟 Controlled Commentary- Became extremely soft on the military and PML-N
- Ignores crackdown on dissent, rigging allegations, media blackout
- Selectively targets PTI while praising establishment narratives
- Openly aligned with “reform from within” stance regarding system
