Nation or Religion First ?

Do you think if there could be such a possibility of a situation in Pakistan when the religious interest and the national interest clashes with each others ?!?

If you think it is possible then whom among the following would you agree to ?

p.s. I know it depends upon a lot of factors and how we define religious and national duties, kindly share your perspective regarding that as well.

Humanity First,, and a person can become a good human only after following a complete religion i.e. Islam...

Islam is the only way of life which teaches one to become good human.

In Pakistan both are one and the same thing. After all this nation was created for Muslims. It is one and the same. Now the problem is when people start to commit Shirk and tell you what you should do and how you are a bad Muslim.

Re: Nation or Religion First ?

I have plenty of Pakistani and Indian friends and for most of the aprt we all have pretty much the same mentality and thniking, except for this issue. For most part, all Indians, Hindu or Muslim, country is way ahead in the list than religion, and on the other hand my Pakis friends religion comes over country. I guess that's the way we were brought up in. Don't know which one is better but that's the major difference between us.

As for the topic: Like Rocking Vibes said, i guess it is the way we are brought up. It just comes naturally. Although even among the Pakistanis there is a difference of opinion but Religion is never too far when it comes to institution of any type.

For me it's got to be Religion first. It is kinda intertwined with nation...it's all in one.

which religion teaches you to be bad human?

Re: Nation or Religion First ?

putting religion ahead of national interest is one of the top reasons for Pakistan's instability and lack of progress.

Can't believe such thing coming out from "Words of Quaid"

Our Quaid-e-Azam would have never uttered such words from what I know from the history...

Please, have your nick changed. Thanks!
