Do you think Islam is the root cause of Pakistan's failure?

Question

I have met excellent pakistanis who are stylish, well mannered and as lovable as any one else. This is a nation of hardworking and strong people. But, in the international level it has the image of a terrorist country. Why?

Kindly understand that i love and respect Pakistani citizens as much as any other nationals. I feel sorry that a nation of such great people are having difficulty because of the bad image of the nation. Who is responsible.

Answer 1

Yes, we are stuck between democracy, militancy, modernization and fundamental Islam all at the same time and same place !

Answer 2

Pakistan is an Islamic state. Because of the fact that many of the past leaders have been military dictators, the poor of the nation have no choice but to turn to their religion for answers. The governmental structure is perilous. Musharraf rigged elections, stacks the deck so none of his supporters could lose. There is much corruption. There is no middle class, either wealthy citizens or the very poor. The area of Pakistan that borders Afghanistan is fundamentalist. They are supporters of Bin Laden and al Qaeda & of the Taliban because that's the only systems that they have known to actually "fight" for their causes. The central government ignores their needs. Then the fundamentalist imams/mullahs turn the states of poverty into a weapon. While the Pakistani government claims they support the War on Terror, generally the majority of the population does not.

Because America is elected to be the filter,for all the crap, and the modernization process when they come here to our country they mellow, but things are rapidly changing because we did not count on the impact to our government and the internal problems that it would cause to become lopsided with these people? We need to stop immigrating people first of all! and after saying that you must know why? Because they may have nice people, but so what? They are fanatics in their religious beliefs, and that is a problem! No worse than 150 years ago here but we are past that, and we paid our dues we are not going back in some time tunnel for anyone. Sorry Charlie only the best tasting tuna get to be starkist get it? Get on board and don't sink the ship, if you are a rat you will be thrown overboard, this is survival the fittest? Why are you concerning yourself with over there or having sympahy? There is no time now and no room for that in our country we have to stick together or we will lose. The enemy counts on a bleeding heart like yours so we will let our guard down! This is not everyday as usual? We are at War get it?
They are the enemy and no exceptions to the rule get it?
Just like the Japanese eh? You cant take chances if you wish to win and survive? Unless you are willing to let your home open to terrorists like the Nazis did? Wake up partner you must realize you cannot trust the enemy and if you do you are a traitor no matter whether they are nice or not, if they survive we will sort that out later, but for now you don't give Heaven away to Lucifer eh? It is not your call! either you join us or you are against us it is as simple as can be! That is war? Why is it that they have never extended themselves to you and to invite you into their country but you will bend over and touch your ankles for them duh?

Answer 4

No religion is a cause of any country's or person's failure.

Every country will have good lovable people and bad people. Pakistan has this image of a terrorist country basically as the country's political history has been dominated by military rule rather than democracy and also the people there are fanatics and support and encourage terrorism.

Answer 5

if enemies of islam have suceede in potraying pakistanis as terrorist it doesnt mean that islam becomes the cause dear do you know the literal meaning of the word islam is safety and well being than how could a word deny its own meaning infact pakistan has fallen pray to his foes who cant see them progressing .and as islam is the root cause of all peace and progress and it can lead you to immence advancement , they became affraid lest muslims becomes so powerfull that they start ruling them.yes unfortunately some misinterpretters have caused this defame to muslims there way of dealing with un isilamic elements is totaly wrong they should be more stratigic and cunning as others are but they have turned to barbarik acts in reaction to the barbarism.actually dear believe it or not non muslims are destined to have a terrific defeat from muslims owing to thier barbarism.now this is the root cause actually

Answer 6

I am hindu, brahmin. I read The holy text Kuran with much respect. To me it is as good as Geeta. Islam never preaches Violence. It is a big docterin. people with pervertedintelligence are spoiling the immage of Islam. Islam preaches peace like any other religion. not only of pakisthan but any country if it is failur it is on account of its dogmatics, vested interested, religious fenatics. No one who is religously strong approve to such actions of what pakisthan is doing. know onw thing. There aremany intelligent and high thinking and peace loving individuals are in pakisthan,
we will salute to them. Rao 13 2 07

Answer 7

Islam is not at all the cause of Pakistans failure it is merely the mentality of the people there who are still surviving in the 18th century;the cause shouuld be blamed upon the British govt. of that time, who created this present situation.
