Re: What Islamic Ummah?
this is a good article articulating that why “Muslim ummah” concept is completely wrong and that Pakistanis need to come out of it. we are Muslims only because we were born into a Muslim family and it does not make us a “Muslim nation” as we like to believe. Nations cannot be Muslim or Hindus or Chinese or Christian as we human beings do not choose our birth family.
And therefore our romantic notion that we as a “Muslim nation” need to partner with other “muslim nations” and vice versa is completely wrong. if strategically applicable, a hindu could be our ally too and a muslim country could be our enemy. why cant we accept israel when egypt and Jordan accept israel? it is about time we shd take the word
it is about time we shd take the word islamic out from Pakistan name. we are not the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. we are the Republic of Pakistan with different religions living there. About time we declare our Constitution secular and stay away from islam at the governmental level. why cant we accept israel when egypt and Jordan accept israel?
The ummah at war with itself - World - DAWN.COM
But Pakistan has allied with US and it was the US who sent the seventh fleet in 71 to save the nation. Also general Zia had massacred Palestinians and by default helping Israel. USA gives billions of dollars in aid.
