Our heroes as a nation are not just those who share our race and ethnicity, but all those who share our mindset which is based on the well-being of all Muslims and strength of Islam.
This is why we idolize not only our own heroes like the Sultan Babur, Sultan Aurangzeb Alamgir, Mahmud e Ghazni, Muhammad Ghori, Ibrahim Lodhi, Alauddin Khilji, Muhammad bin Qasim, Qutb ud din Aybek, Tipu Sultan, Data ji, Maulana Ahmad Sirhindi, Quaid e Azam, Allam Iqbal, Maulana Maududi, Abdul Sattar Edhi, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, Gen Raheel Sharif, Gen Bajwa, Imran Khan.
We also idolize Prophet Muhammad saws, 4 Khulafaa, Imam Hasan and Hussain, along with Ahlul Bayt, Umar bin Abdulaziz, Khalid bin Walid, Amr ibn al As, Tariq bin Ziyad, Usman Gazi, Sultan Mehmet el Fateh, Sultan Suleman Kanuni, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, Salahuddin Ayubi, Nuruddin Zengi, Qutuz and Baybars of Mamelook, Berke Khan of Altin Orda, Alparslan, Omar Mukhtar, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Gamal Abdul Nasser, Yasir Arafat, Imam Khomeini, Muammar Qadaffi (many Pakistanis still like him,) King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz, Muhammad Mahathir, and Pres Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Pakistanis see themselves as one major part of the global Islamic polity. Pakistan-India-Kashmir struggle is just one theatre of the global fight for justice for Muslims and the rise of Islam over Kufr.
