These debates serve no purpose at all. They’re getting highly irrelevant and a pointless issue to waste so much energy on.

What does Islamic inclination of Pakistani constitution has anything to do with things like infrastructure, land reforms, education reform, universal health system. welfare system. education, industrialization, power development, technical advancement, accountability in government, justice and all public and private sectors? These are the things non corrupt, qualified, committed and honest Pakistanis can agree on regardless without even bringing religion into the mix.

Neither blaming Islam or getting rid of Islam will magically solve these problems. People need to focus on things that can and will brig definite change to Pakistan. Attacking/questioning the popular religion is not going to bring any relief to the people, you just gonna aggravate the situation further.

No one is attacking the popular religion…you haven’t read the thread obviously. This is about freedom of religion - any religion - including Islam. Being a Muslim or not is a personal choice - much like any other choice you make in life. It cannot have a place in gov’t.

Next - the issues you mentioned are being limited because of religious influences.

That’s a very good speech. Now exactly how long did it America to grant all its citizens equal rights and fair treatment? How many lives were lost, how many people were burned, tortured, lynched, looted, murdered, discriminated before America decided that it must stop being the country for only white protestants. Sorry to say, if it wasn’t for the painful sacrifices and a long and hard struggle put up by the discriminated black community, you wouldn’t be here posting about the sakoon and safety you’re experiencing in USA. Now what have Pakistanis done for Pakistan? Isn’t it a famous quote from certain American President called JFK who said “do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”?

**Why are you sorry to say that about Black people? Their fight sparked a revolution in the entire country - not a small thing. I am grateful and happy for that…why would you be sorry to point that out? Because they’re Black and I am not? LOL. But remember…they were all sorts of Black…not just Christian Blacks. **

Yes we know all non resident Pakistanis want a great nation but they must also realize that nation building takes time! Rome and America certainly weren’t built in a day! Pakistan is merely 65 year old leaderless country which was a colonized territory before that. It’s people of Pakistan who decide what kind of Pakistan they need and how they are going to achieve it - Americans are welcome to take on the streets and join the struggle.

I’ve said the same thing - Pakistan needs time. Nothing new there.

For the people of Pakistan: they’re not just Muslim Pakistanis. There are other religions in Pakistan as well and Islam has no place in a country where its not respected and that’s how many people feel about it - American or not - I AM a Muslim and when I am affected I become concerned. If that ruffles your feathers - so be it sweetheart.

No idea why the religion is blamed for all problems in any country including Pakistan. Just doesn’t make sense.

Secular, irreligious or religious, the country is made of people and when people do not act right, it’s not the fault of religion they follow.

Its not the fault of the religion - and that is exactly my point so leave it out instead of defaming it.

Religion is not being blamed but its high time its given the place it deserves and not made into a circus for the world to watch.

If that means eliminating it and granting people complete and total religious freedom - there would be nothing better.
