Factually incorrect. British left their colonies to their local leaders based on their ethinicity. Not based on religion.
Furtheemore what is pur national identity? Foe the argument sake if we are not muslim then why a sindhi should live with pathan who are having a totaly different ethinicty ? And why did we get separated from india in first place ? We could have been biggest nation in the world
Hats off to this statement. If it was never meant to be islamic republic then quaid was idiot to lost millions if lifes for muslim nation ? How do u explain his speech on creation of state bank of Pakistan which clearly state islamic principles of economy to be implemented ?
And why did we create Pakistan if it is not a land for muslims of sub continent? Provines of Pakistan were never in a history functioned as a single state. They dont even understand the language of each other
Where does islam stops u from being welfare state or getting education. Infact on the contrary it was islam that introduces the concept of modern day welfare state and for your information the current democracy to which secularists hold as a bible is itself much older than islam.
Not making a welfare state and falling behind is our failure and has nothing to do with us.
My one question to all of u anti religion guys. What is the unity factor in Pakistan if not Islam. Iran is united as they r proud persian. GCC is united as they are arabs. Iraq and syria has a rich history.
If u remove islam on what basis u will ask a pathan to share his land with punjabi when ethinically they were enemies?
@mods this is not a religious discussion but debate on our national identity. So i suggest this should be allowed to continue just like any other secular discussion.
This is not about islam only but identifying the bond that is holding us togather otherwise we r 7 to 8 different ethinically diversed region and if we continue that path we are bound to disintegrate.
So its important to realize that i want to share my land resources with pathan as he is a muslim otherwise as a pathan he is unknown to me.
With regards to minorities we do have respect and care for them as per islamic principles
Exactly, this is the problem. We have always tried to define our identity based on religion and not land. Your land also has a history..rich history, problem is we don't want to acknowledge it as it runs deep with episodes of great empires/kings who were not Muslims...we just want to acknowledge, see, hear Islam/Muslim side of things related to us....because as I said before, we want to justify two nation theory.
Land/ history/time are not subject a religion...religions,civilisation evolve and die in them.....Start associating everything that has been part of Pakistan's land....open up, be inclusive to other religions/culture....things will fall in place.
What is common in people of free world in current times. Take US...it's a mixture of various religion, races around the world....why it is intact?... India has been a good example of unity in diversity (don't bring current government stuff in picture...I am talking of it's history).....If Malaysia declare itself, non-Islamic state..you mean it will disintegrate?
We have to first make uniform policies for the country, uniform education system that teaches new generation about country first concept (than religion).....
Our elites have deliberately kept our people less aware and uneducated...so that they could be manipulated easily. Bring in modern education system, free from bias/hate against any religion, emphasise on science and tech...and you will see the benefits in 10-15 years from now.
