No you just conveniently pick and choose when you want to be a cynic and a pessimist, and take pleasure in generalisations and smear campaigns. The kind of benefit of doubt you are so defensively extending to India cannot be expected from you when it comes to Pakistan despite knowing the successful operation against terrorists and violent organisations all over Pakistan? Right?

So Pakistan hasn’t made zero progress in regards to curbing terrorism and extremism? What about the crackdown on extremist organisations? Ban on hate speeches? What about increased minority job quota in KPK? There is no increased awareness and yearning for a fairer society? What about the staggering reduction in targeted hate crimes? SC’s ruling against Blasphemy laws/Qadri? Pakistan as a state hasn’t prosecuted a single accused in blasphemy case. If the state was intolerant and bigoted, then it would have easily wiped out communities through a system.

I wish these all efforts sustain and really change our society for the better. But this is all due to actions taken by authorities. Its ‘danda’ that is working for the time, otherwise, the picture was gruesome just 5-6 months back. I wish we have a peaceful Muharram this time, as there are already news for killing of Shias in different parts of Karachi. The hatred sown and supported by different quarters will not go away that soon. One can just hope for the better.

Regarding giving benefit to India, I believe introspection rather than getting excited about the crimes committed in other countries and just catch an opportunity to through terms ‘fascist’, ‘haters’ for that country just for setting the score.

Do not pull the religious card to dilute and dismiss India’s so called secular credentials which they have falsely milked on all levels at Pakistan’s expense. Your above post is typical playing with sentimentalities, pull the Islam card whenever it suits you.

You may not know but when a state claims to be secular, it means some pretty damn seriousness and real implications! Pakistan on the other hand is not even a proper Islamic state!

Our religious duty also tells us to take strict action against corruption, poverty, hunger, injustice, where is the moral jihad against that? So let’s keep Islam out of this, and talk about ground realities.

You are unnecessarily getting so defensive in regards to India, and just want to paint Pakistan as equally monstrous in order to avoid direct criticism on India in absolute terms for their rising intolerance, bigotry and Hindu extremism.

I’ll comment and bring Islam for minorities rights in Pakistan as it is the charter we follow. Call it some card, sentimens or whatever. I think its better using religious card for educating ourselves about minority rights provided by Islam than the actions of religious scholars who use religion as a card to instigate violence.

So if I post a video of some guy getting abused and label it “True face of Pakistan”, will it make sense to most of you? That is all I want to know. What is the purpose of this thread? Where is the explanation of what is happening in the video and what does this discussion have to do with the video itself? I don’t get it so help me understand.

Well said.
