LOL?

Pakistanis are South Asians. The entire subcontinent shares a culture. Hindus have adapted several “muslim” traditions as have the muslims of this region adapted “hindu” traditions. That combination of cultures is what makes South Asian culture so fascinating.

And why is following another religion “shameful”? And there you go again with the word crap and referring to another person’s religion.

You do realize it makes you look really overwhelmingly uneducated, right? It’s attitudes like these which give Pakistanis a bad name. Maybe you’re forgetting your ancestors but you cant change history. My family used to sikh and i’m sure before that they were probably hindus. I, along with many other Pakistanis, love the multi-religious aspect of South Asian culture and take pride in it. Those traditions in Pakistani weddings aren’t “hindu” but rather “desi”. Hindus have adapted several of muslim traditions and you know what? Similar traditions are followed all over the Subcontinent. Please dont embarrass yourself and other Pakistanis with your ignorance. Kthanks.

Well whatever, Islam is not just a religion it’s a way of life, and as Muslims we are told not to follow the customs/traditions of Pagans/Hindus, if people don’t take that advice, that’s their loss. You don’t abandon Islam when you plan a wedding, you have to keep it in mind.

I’m not the only one who says this, I’ve heard this so many times from highly educated born and bred in the U.S, Pakistani Muslim men and women.

Not all weddings are the same, I’ve been to some Pakistani weddings right here in Texas, where Islamic customs were followed, many people are starting to realize that some Pakistani customs are just plain stupid and unIslamic. Many young people don’t want that kind of marriage.

Islam encourages a simple marriage, not one where you are trying to show of to your friends, going into debt, mixed dancing, alcohol etc..and at the end after doing all the haram things you put the Quran over the guy and girl as they walk out to their car, what a shame.

I see more and more people in my age group right here in Houston, who are getting married but don’t want all that traditional insanity and non Islamic “Rasams” with their marriage, and their telling their parents this.
