Oh yes then just read the history of pakistan.The land of sikh guru's How jinnah wanted to make pakistan a seculer but slowly it moved towards islam.The main reason was politicians and dictatoors just want to appease public.
also reada about bangladesh Where sheikh mujibur rehman promised India that he will make it seculer And how hindu population is down to 8.5%
Isn't it funny that in islamic countries minorities just start vanishing
the entire population of bangladesh is trying to enter india. funny how hindu dominated india is more likely to allow hindu immigrants in than muslim immigrants.
isn't it funny that in india, hatred for muslims is so strong that it overwhelms rational thought?
show proof of these "vanishing minorities". and i want to know where they go... do they convert? do they stop telling the authorities their religions at census time? do they migrate to other countries? do the countries in question simply stop reporting on religious minorities? i've read that the actual numbers of religious minorities in pakistan are much higher than reported. why is this?
and again, how can you blame a religion for the behavior of a few countries? most muslims will tell you that pakistan and bangladesh are so influenced by south asian culture that they don't even practice islam in the same way as in the rest of the world. take female infanticide and dowry for example, they're prohibited in islam and don't' even happen in the rest of the world, but they're a huge problem in pakistani punjab...
you can find a million things wrong with so-called islamic countries. and i can find a million things wrong with the US and India.
how can you blame religion for everything? if you want to blame islam for the problems in pakistan, who do you blame for the problems in the US, christians? in india, Hindus?
Jasleen Ji, it concerns me that you have so much energy directed at saying that it just isn't so. There are bad things, harmful beliefs, in this world.
please don't waste your energy on being concerned with me, i'm certainly not worth the energy.
i never said anything "just isn't so". i said that maybe things aren't always as anti-islamic websites would have you believe.
yes, there are bad things and harmful beliefs in this world, and they belong to every religion, every country, every person.
sikhi does NOT teach us to hate people based on their religion. it does NOT teach us to lie in order to make other religions look bad. it does NOT teach us to watch others being abused and sit back idly.
spend your energy trying to make the world better, not in worrying about me.
