ok sheraz,
my question is :
is the majority of shi’a punjabi or is the majority of sunnis muhajir…like..is there a relationship between the beliefs of the people and the political sects?..its just a ‘pure’ question…nothing offensive (now that i know you follow shi’a ism)
anyways shias r mahajir, they are punjabi, pathan, afghani , irani
myself i think i m mahajir
so basically its not writ to say majority of shia are punjabi..i dont know if i m making sense ?
Onaiza, religion, culture or race are all separate entities.
for e.g
Religion= like islam(subsets: sunni, shia etc) Chirisian/ Hindu wagaira wagaira
Culture= these are actually customs and traditions and can be domestic or national or is observed in more than one country.
Race= like Sindhi(native farmers and fishermen of Southern Pakistan), Pathans(decedents of the bani-Israelites) and so on..
fortunately or unfortunately, in Indo-Pakistan all these categories are so much overlapped and merged down that sometimes from a single term a group can be categorized.
That’s called symbolism.

i see zalim...
thanks for clearifying that...
after reading urs and sheraaz's responses...can i then assume that the two concepts arent related AT ALL?
Yesterday is history,
Tommorow is a mystery,
Today is a gift,
That's why we call it PRESENT!
