@Jafri

Nothing would change, as if the government and its subjects even regard the constitution. The social norms would remain and the plight of minorities would still be rough.

Shias were being tormented on religious days before the Objectives Resolution in '49.

Of course they were being tormented - these are religion based battles people have been fighting and continue to fight. Its because of misinterpretations of Islam and because its being considered a way to govern.

Freedom of religion is not in Pakistan.

@Airhead

I don’t see how to be honest. Its more to do with a persons opinion about religion, for example, you wouldn’t necessarily agree with what I have to say because you don’t have to, the same would apply to me and if a person cannot respectfully agree to disagree then I don’t think its their religious beliefs that are to blame here, it has more to do with education and upbringing.

Again, corruption is based on people’s opinion about religion rather than religion itself and I’d like to add nepotism to it as well.

P.S - apologies regarding my poor grasp on english, I am not really that well versed in the language, lol.

Again - the root cause is religion. Whether is Sunni, Shia, Ahmadi, etc…its all about religion. In my opinion, its NONE of the government’s business or the peoples’ business who the public believes and how they believe.

None whatsoever.

I know this is not a popular opinion - and trust me - I’d never want to be born anything but Muslim. I love my faith and feel lucky to be a Muslim and my heritage as a Pakistani. I’ve always been proud.

But faith has no place in Pakistan anymore - it never did. You cannot be considered a progressive nation if your people are comprised of different religions and you’re mindset is Muslim and Muslim only. Our religion teaches us tolerance but because we’re a Muslim country, we’re not required to be respectful of other religions. The only way I see is separate church and state completely cold turkey. Yeah, it sounds pretty drastic and bold but Islam has been defamed to the point of embarrassment because of so-called Muslim countries. How about we leave Islam to the Muslims to practice with dignity and allow others to do the same with their own faith? Isn’t this a form of Dawah in itself? To be kind and compassionate to others?
