It was also the practice of Sahabah to enslave non-Muslim women and use them as concubines in case of war or rebellion by non-Muslim communities such as Banu Qurayza.
There is so much hatred for Afghans today in our Pakistani society but Pakistanis also at the same time believe that their beloved Afghan Taliban is supported by the majority of Afghans. This is cognitive dissonance.

Sure. It is said by Allah Almighty in Surat Aaal e Imran in verse no. 85.
"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islaam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers."
There is also a sahih hadees from Muslim Sharif wherein it says "By the One in Whose...
Jinab, that ayat was referring to Jews before the time of Hazrat Isa عليه السلام and Christians before the time of Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. After the advent of Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم members of no other religion except Islam are eligible for salvation.
We need to stop blaming ourselves and the civilian parties and military establishment need to stop blaming each other. I have done sufficient research on the history of how Pakistan broke and while our leaders miscalculated, the real culprits were the Awami League with their victimhood...

Awami League was the main culprit behind disintegration of Pakistan, leaving aside the greed for power among Generals and Bhutto. I have shown this in this thread.

Sarmila Bose is not enemy propaganda but by far the most neutral academic source on the events of 1971. Similar is mentioned by Colonel Nadir Ali and Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report. The later two are Pakistani sources.
I am aware that Bengali Muslims played the leading role in the civil war...
Its not so simple. On 25 August 1947 in an interview with James Weldon of Collier's Weekly, Jinnah called the minorities in both countries "hostages." The hostage theory was the background of Jinnah's promises of protecting non-Muslim citizens and giving them equal rights. This theory was...
I agree with your historical analysis. However, we should still base our nationalism on a religious basis in the sense that it be for Pakistani Muslims and not inclusive of non-Muslims. To include Pakistani non-Muslims in our nationalism would be against our raison d'etre as Pakistan was...
There were non-Muslims (Jews) who fought in the army of Hazrat Muhammad sallalahu alayhi wassalam in the battle of Uhud. They were never called shaheed when they died. I don't think you understand the concept of "shaheed." Only a Muslim can be one.
I want our soldiers to die as shaheed. If they die for Islam then Allah will grant them the rewards of shahadat in next life. The state can't provide those rewards to our soldiers in the next eternal life. That is why Islamic motives for Army must be retained at all costs. No one is saying fight...
Pakistani territorial nationalism is a reactionary sentiment to non-Pakistani Muslim mistreatment of Pakistan. But I still don't agree with it. Its a clone of Indian territorial nationalism. Allowing territorial nationalism will open the way for Punjabi ethno-nationalism and dreams to reunited...
I agree except point no. 6. It is against Quaid e Azam's vision. He refused to let non-Muslims even join the Muslim League after independence. And also history shows us that its dangerous to trust minorities. Pakistani Hindus of Bengal turned Bengali Muslim students into anti-Pakistan traitors...
A Pakistani does not mean malice by such statements. They are expressions of anger. We Pakistanis are an emotional people and when provoked our reaction tends to be rash. That is why Pak military reacted so brutally when Operation Searchlight started. I see it in our interactions with hostile...
