Cool sentences can be said forever, but at the end of the butterfly effect, you have to install a Humvee-mounted stinger in the LHD.
If you are young, remember this, you will need this great consolation in the future

Well it's simple, even French Mistrals only have Mistral missiles on it with even worse performance and less missiles.

Bangladesh was not born to save muslims but only bengalis

only bengali muslims actually, bengali hindus have west bengal

Bangladesh is a secular country, infact they are very secular people. maybe due to a large hindu minority. and socialist icons.. and their culture is very very contrasting..

government maybe secular but the people most definitely are not

What Muslim country is most similar to Pakistan in terms of ideological, moral, political, and societal framework of values?

Bosnia comes to mind, a country created to safeguard muslims from a much larger enemy ( serbs/indians)
Racially, culturally Pakistan is most similar to Afghanistan

A country is known by its intelligentsia.There are overwhelming practicing people there however they are in a way secular as they dont get involved in politics..Secular person doesnt mean that person doesnt practice religion.Im not sure if there is any party in Bangladesh that wants to uphold an islamic character and gets involved in the world muslim politics because there is silence on it from Bangladesh.
However your country had socialist mollanas like bhashani...this cant even be comprehended here in Pakistan.

I could be wrong with this, but i heard somewhere that Israel also came into existence on the basis of religion? Can someone shed light on this?

Yes. Even South Sudan came on basis of Religion

Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

Looks like I missed a lot while I was gone.

Between Turkey and Arab countries, I don’t think either is that similar to Pakistan. Turkey is more similar to Europe and Arab countries are really their own unique culture. I could never understand what Arab culture is about, because Arab countries have this weird ideology about being Islamic but promoting secularism and monarchy. And Arab countries have always liked collective Pan-Arabism instead of nationalism. Arab countries also rely too much on US for security than using their own army. Afghanistan is more similar to Pakistan than either Turkey or Arab countries but walking in Kabul does not feel similar to walking in Lahore or Karachi because 19 years of war has changed so much about Afghanistan.

I would say Iran is probably the closest to Pakistan. There are too many similarities between Pakistan and Iran to list:

Parliament System
Proudly Islamic
Strong Military
Powerful enemies
Very nationalistic
Ethnically Diverse
Culturally conservative
Liberal youth gen
Economic challenges
Disliked by west
Nukes (Maybe?)
Nastaliq writing

I don’t think there is any other country besides Iran that has that many things in common with Pakistan.

There are some differences.

Driving left vs right
Population difference
Poverty, health, literacy
Sanctions and Isolation
Economic Development
Oil Exports and Industry
Revolution and History
Sunni vs Shia traditions
Food, Dress, Holidays

In spite of these differences, Pakistan will eventually improve its literacy and health, Iran is starting to diversify its economy away from oil. Pakistan will have a better economy and less poverty like Iran today. Iran may one day get nukes or get rid of sanctions like Pakistan today.

I think over time, Pakistan and Iran will become more similar to each other in many ways as time goes on. They can learn a lot from each other.

I don’t think there is any country that feels more similar to Pakistan than Iran ideologically, socially, and physically. There are some places in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz that feel similar when you walk through them and remind you of familiar places and a shared heritage.

Margalla Hills vs the Alborz Mountains
Arabian Sea vs the Caspian Sea
Nanga Parbat vs Mount Damavand
Makran Coast vs Persian Gulf
Walled City vs Naqsh-e-Jahan
Lahore Fort vs Qeysarie Gate
Badshahi Mosque vs Shah Mosque
Minaret-e-Pakistan vs Azadi Tower
Liberty Chowk vs Enghelab Square
Jinnah Avenue vs Navvab Expwy
Mazar-e-Quaid vs Behest-e-Zahra
Daman-e-Koh vs Baam-e-Tehran
Shakarparian vs Niavaran Park
Shalimar Bagh vs Baq-e-Eram
Mazar-e-Iqbal vs Hafeziah
Anarkali vs Bazar-e-Bozorg
Hiran Minar vs Khaju Bridge
Khyber Pass vs Quran Gate
Mohenjodaro vs Persepolis
Rukni-e-Alam vs Soltaniyeh
Sehra Kharan vs Dasht-e-Kavir
Sheesh Mahal vs Golestan Palace
Khalpu Fort vs Sa'dabad Complex
Takht-e-Bahi vs Takht-e-Jamshid
Darawar Fort vs Arg-e-Karimkhan
Wazir Khan Mosque vs Nasir-ul-Mulk

We are very much like India. But there is no similarity between Pakistan and other Muslim country.
Although, western part of part of Pakistan resembles Afghanistan, but with better law enforcement. Western part of Pakistan looks more like India, but Islamic.
