Pakistan's image in the Muslim world

^This is what I was referring to. I’m inclined to think that the type of people I’m referring to genuinely do have issues with their Pakistani identity because they view being confused for another ethnicity as compliment and seem to take pride in this. I’ve actually come across people who get irritated when (British) people correctly assume that they are Pakistani (read: Desi).

However, I’m inclined to think that the people that behave this way are usually rather insecure in general and it isn’t solely that they have a negative view of Pakistan. Interestingly, I’ve observed that this most commonly among girls as I’ve never heard guys take pride in being confused with other ethnicities.

This is not a mere insecurity. This is a real issue. For example, how is a non-muslim supposed to feel any love for the country that despises their existence? How and why should I pledge my allegiance to the country that would rather hang me for being who I am: an apostate. This is one example. I would imagine a million people having similar issues.
