Sami bro, I'm a Bangali by ethinicity.
Religion? I form my own beliefs inside my mind and make sure it doesn't spill out.
It's funny that while you started out with economic news and then proceeded to india bashing threads, it was just the opposite for me. Old members here remember how I used to argue with indian members all day regarding the legitimate conflicts (nothing based on religious hatred). But the arguments never led to any constructive discussion - it tells us something. hatred breeds more hatred, while forgiveness, love and respect among people, in my experience, almost always leads to a mutually agreeable solution.
But see the big picture. We neighbors (except the fundamentalists) fight and argue because that's the state (especially the messed up boundaries) in which the British have left us. Whoever heard of partitioning a region based on religion? Absolute madness. But I do admire the level of intelligence the British people possess. That's why they worked for centuries to gain technological superiority, while we've entered an Islamic dark age where muslims are getting nihilistic.
Ok, let's just say I'm scared of what the future holds for us. This is the typical path muslim countries are taking:
1 - immoral, money-loving people run our country (true for all countries because politicians are like that)
2 - Islam is the solution
3 - rise of public Islamic sentiments
4 - government crackdown on Islamists
5 - Islamists take over with popular support
6 - a few years pass
7 - the country is not looking better, so islamists decide it's time to get more Islamic
8 - education is geared more towards theology
9 - public codes of conduct is forced upon the people
10 - cooperation with western nations is downgraded, so transfer of technology for manufacturing industries is limited
11 - lack of civil liberty causes a fall in entrepreneurial spirit and the economy goes down
12 - islamists in power get more desperate and start blaming foreign powers for conspirating against them
13 - country is isolated from the rest of the world and is at mercy of the arab world
14 - superpowers see an opportunity to attack an isolated state and get its resources or establish military presence
15 - then history repeats
I missed a few steps I guess but that's the general idea. Sorry for making it too long. I'm sure most of you won't even read this. But Islamists are scary as hell!
