Beautiful thread! I never knew Pakistan was such a progressive country in the past. I hope that Pakistan can return to what it was in the past.
My Pakistani friends, please do not be offended if I say that I think too much religious freedom breeds extremism on other people. There should be a clear line that separates religion from the state or the government. I cannot help but think what could have happened if things worked the other way around. Good luck for the future!!!
