#1 Sectarianism is an inherent part of Islamic prophecy. That is why the Saudis allow Muslims to attend pilgrimage (haj), which they would otherwise exterminate for religious-innovation (bidah). The exiled MQM chief is beating his head against the wall if he is trying to rationalize Islam. By the way, Qazi' "great leader" (qaid-e-azam) was: Maulana Maududi. Jinnah doesn't matter to that 400 pound blob of jihad.

#2 The funny thing is that the MQM was a sectarian party throughout the 80s responsible (along with it's offshoots) for thousands of deaths and making large parts of Karachi no-go zones. The only difference between them and the Jihadis is that they were an ethnic based party rather than an Islam based one.
