Protecting Pakistan is similar like protecting Islam itself.
Can the same be said for a secular Pakistan?
Why do you try to make division between so called Islamic State in Iran/Taliban with other Muslim Majority countries ?
If a country’s motivating ideology is secular and a minority ethnic group who’s also Muslim fights the Muslim secular country for independence, can it be religiously termed as jihad? How will it affect the country’s soldiers motivation?
Iran/Taliban are not the only states with Islam as state religion.
I am not making divisions.
I am making a division between countries like Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia. One claims to be secular. The other claims to be Islamic. How can these two vastly different forms of government be grouped the same is the real question?
You are not understanding my question.
Your mind set mimic those TTP/AQ/ISIS.
If you think that way there’s nothing I can do to change your opinion.
It’s like if I ask an Indonesian soldier when Aceh rebels were fighting the state, how would secularism or having islam as a state religion affect your fight? If you think that’s TTP/AQ/ISIS ideology then I cannot do anything to help you.
Former Indonesian Armed Force General said soldiers duty is to serve God as "Ibadah" for afterlife
Ok. This isn’t related to my question either.
A secular state’s general saying this to a secular army would put the country’s secularism in question. Only a country with a state religion would actively support the religion and make it indistinguishable from its institutions such as army.
Where in Madinah charter it said that Islam is the state religion ?
What law did the Muslims of Madinah rule by?
Hint: it wasn’t secularism
All religion is respected in Madinah and Muslim, Christian, and Jews live side by side and protected
And they paid Jizya while Muslims payed normal taxes. Which law and religion told us about Jizya? Would a non religious state charge Jizya?
