I have actively noticed that a lot of your comments are based on opinion and not fact. Comments like that there is some form of social safety net in the US even after medicare honestly defy reality. I personally prefer dealing with facts. So lets take things one at a time.

How do you define a country as Islamic? I simply describe it as a nation state which defines its rules and policies vis a vis the nature of Islam and its values. By that standard no European nation is Islamic, considering their crusade to ban the basic freedoms of Muslim women.

So your saying that Social security, medicare, medicaid, and all the other countless humanitarian inspired laws in America are a fiction?

Are you kidding me!

I have given you MANY examples of laws which are Islamic in the US… And your telling me these are a lie? Your saying that laws intended to help the poor and sick are NOT Islamic!!!
I define a nation as being Islamic, when its laws are in line with Islamic values. Thats it.

What you describe is a nation that calls itself Islamic, and claims to follow Islam. However, claiming to be Islamic and Muslim is one thing, being Islamic and Muslim is quite another. This is called HYPOCRICY, and Allah SWT despises such Hypocracy.
"Most hateful it is with AllAh that you say that which you do not do.."
“Make not mischief on the earth,’ they say: `We are only peacemakers.’ Verily, they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not”

Another words, Islam means not just saying that you are Muslims, but actually following the teachings of Islam. Whic Pakistan does not do.

Americans however, while they may not be Muslim, they do have many laws that are Islamic. At the very least they try.

Certainly these countries are still progressing. But all you can cite are laws banning the Burqa in Europe, which is itself a controversial issue among many Muslims.
I remind you however, that the Burqa has not been banned in most European countries, and there isnt even an attempt to ban it or any other religous item in the US.
The US, as with most secular nations, certainly allows far more religious freedom then any Muslim country you could name.

Pakistan is a hypocrite nation. Which is probably why it seems to be headed to hell in a hand basket, and secular non Muslim countries are doing so well.
