What Islamic Ummah?

I think in a country like pakistan state should take the responsibility of handling sensitive issues. Like even though one can criticize companions of prophet s.a.w and remain Muslim but state should enforce a narrative that no one can abuse the companions, for the sake of peace. Obviously the law and order should also be hard on who take law into hands. Secularism cannot solve these problems.
State involvement in handling conflicting issues is actully a must thing for country like Pakistan where four major sects are having good number followers.
As someone pointed other major issue is racism. I believe that Pakistan culturally one unit would have progressed a lot.

That’s called giving into the demands of crazies. What should the state do if an extremist says, “We’ll start killing women who don’t do hijab or don’t stay at home”. Should the state ban women from leaving their homes or enforce hijab on everyone. I’m just following the logic you just presented. That would be the most peaceful thing to do, right?

Your prophet, his companions are important to you not me. No one will force you to criticize your prophet but I am within my rights to criticize, draw cartoons and stuff. I don’t do that stuff because I have muslim friends and family. I don’t wanna lose my people by criticizing something silly they’re passionate about. However, I would defend anyone who does want to criticize religious ideas or any other ideas for that matter.
