Re: Secular Pakistan: ‘Pakistanis should know Quaid’s Aug 11 speech by heart’
This is far too loaded a topic but that’s false. Rome dominated the world on a scale far beyond the Caliphates. Part of the Islamic Empires’ successes are based on their initial political unity (which is a key element), as well as being at the crossroads of knowledge from India and Rome/Greece. Even their successes were marginal compared to the divide between the West and the rest of the world today, a key element of which is escaping religious political institutions.
