Pakistan's image in the Muslim world

How do you think Muslims from other parts of the world view the Pakistani state or the “fortress of Islam”?
From my interactions with Muslims from the middle east and elsewhere, they don’t have anything positive to say about Pakistan. I always ask if they would ever consider visiting Pakistan and the answer is “no” most of the time. I think people view us in the same light as Saudia. What do you think?

I have to say that unfortunately the Arabs think they are the most supreme of all Muslims and no one can understand and know Islam better than them. Sadly though, they are wrong :). I think whatever sanity is left in Islam has been preserved by the madressehs and Islamic establishments back in Pakistan and some parts of India where there are still the Muftis and leadership that have authentic lineage to establish credibility.

So I don’t really care what anyone thinks. Maybe Pakistan isn’t the “fortress” of Islam but I think there are humbler Muslims and more humane ones living there.

Now, how do other Muslim nations see Pakistan for other purposes such as tourism or living or industrialization, etc… I don’t really know that too well so I don’t have any comments.
