“In the light of what he has suggested, my
question needs to be re-worded as follows: Is it possible for such a
secularly-minded 'Muslim' citizen of the world to continue to remain
fundamentally nationalistic and patriotic to the ideals of Pakistanism?” (Post # 34)
If “Pakistanism” stands for two nation
theory and the religion Islam as the way of life, then the answer is NO. In my post # 30, I wrote:
The
Pakistani People are neither secular nor democratic and certainly not
fundamentalist. They are Faithful Muslims or Islamic. First they belong to
the Nation of Islam (Ummah)
and long after to the Pakistani Nation. To create a Secular Pakistani, the first step will be to take him out of Islam (Ummah).
