I can honestly say Turks are one of the nicest people about. A dear and near to me was in Germany recently on education convention at Humboldt University for a week. She came back with a very positive opinion of Germans who displayed extreme good manners but her choice selection was for the Turks in Germany. She made many friends with Turkish Germans who took her to Turkish restaurents. She said she felt 100% at home with the Turkish females who had the perfect mix of western/eastern balance. That experiance has been the the factor in convincing us to choosing Turkey as our holiday destination this summer.

I pine for the day Pakistan takes the same trajectory as Turkey has. Really do.

Of course my brother who was in Istanbul few months ago said the same thing. He is the tall guy in the foreground.

The trajectory of a modern day Ottoman Empire...??? I pine for the trajectory of Quaid e Azam...

The trajectory of a modern day Ottoman Empire...???

Yes. Proof in the pudding is take a visit to Istanbul.

I pine for the trajectory of Quaid e Azam...

Are you sure? Proof of a recipe is in the taste of the product. Take a visit to Karachi.

I'm planning to visit the UK but I want to experience especially the British-Pakistani culture. Where should I go? What should I do? How can I join their communities? I will visit the UK together with my sister.

I second that, the Turks that I have met in the West (some from Cyprus) are friendly people and inquisitive too. Though some do tend to be a bit nationalistic but I don't see anything wrong with that if it is expressed in a healthy way. In all fairness the Greeks living in Canada are more nationalistic, Greek flags flying on many homes.

Maybe it is due to my personal experiences but I think Turks are not accurately portrayed by some media outlets with an agenda.

From what close friends have told me, Turkey is definitely a good place for a vacation. It has appeal to a broad market.

bit nationalistic

They are but nationalism has gotten a bad name because of the wars in last century in Europe. But the fact is nationalism is needed and a good thing. It is needed to move societies from tribal, clan, sectarian identities to a higher abstraction with legal underpinings. That is a modern nation state which 'purchases' the loyality of individuals in return for offering institutional rights and services. Turkey has been succesful in using nationalism to weld Anatolia together although there are issues with Kurds. Compare Anatolia to the neighbouring Syria or Iraq or even Libya which have cracked open exposing the faultlines along religious, sectarian, ethnic, tribal, clan division making for chaos to explode on gargantuan scale.

100% agreed.

nationalistic

Then you have nationalism that is articulated in religion like Pakistan. This of course raises inherent contradictions which eventually start colliding and cause problems as you see in Pakistan. Nationalism just welded to religion creates very diffuse energy which gets splayed out and eventually starts tearing away with itself. For instance Pakistan is a state with legal boundaries but Islam extends well beyond it's borders. Therefore the citizens start subscribing to a trans-national abstraction creating terrible problems for a modern state. That is why Pakistan is often hostage to politics of the entire Muslim world. It is the place where all the Muslim world can come to vent their angst. Or it is the Muslim amphitheatre where the contestants from all over the Muslim world compete whereas the Pakistani state becomes hostage to this "contradiction" of trans-national Islam and national Pakistan.
