Asking Muslims Money For Sikh Gurdwara In Pakistan (SOCIAL EXPERIMENT) !!

. . .
Sikhs are usually really nice and funny people
Simple people!

The same Sikhs when misguided and misled during partition time were responsible of hundreds of thousands of rapes and murders.

IN Pakistan, we have a very friendly Sikh community, lovely simple people really. Had a lot of them visiting Hasanabdal (and I lived in Taxila back then). Was always great interacting with these people.

Man we need more social experiments like these to spread a positive image of Pakistan great work by these guys!

i have mixed opinion about such experiments bro but its a good effort, if i can't do anything good myself than i won't criticize others who are trying something positive .. so thumbs up from me :tup:
 
. .
In my experience, Pakistani Sikhs are nice and friendly people but a little selfish to an extent. Its may be cause they are humans too.

I am not surprised at all by this. The Islam that developed in the Indus valley over the span of centuries was one of tolerance and mutual respect, so much so that when the Sikhs were building their holiest temple (Golden Temple in Amritsar), they asked Sufi Hazret Mian Mir of Lahore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mian_Mir) to lay its foundation stone. It is only in recent decades that more narrow minded thought has swept into certain sections of Pakistani society (usually urban lower middle class which distraught from corruption and nepotism looks for an outlet through which to vent out their anger). However the traditional Islam of this region is very much at peace with other religions.

Further international media rarely picks up positive stories happening on a regular basis such as these (https://tribune.com.pk/story/1338360/locals-stand-guard-hindus-celebrate-maha-shivaratra/, https://tribune.com.pk/story/848320...de-temple-to-protect-hindus-celebrating-holi/). They do occasionally as in this instance (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...christian-community-in-pakistan-a7079186.html), but most of the time stories of communal harmony go unnoticed, whereas the opposite ones make headline news abroad.

They are the same species as you, you know - human.

You're right, of course, now I feel ashamed of being too euphoric about this vid. However, this issue once again proves how influential the international media really is. Even a staunch pro-Pakistani person like me seems to be influenced by Western media coverage.

It is a shame for countries like Turkey and Pakistan that we don't have big, influential, international and state-owned broadcast networks already.

No need to be ashamed mate. We are all affected by media one way or another. To say otherwise would be a lie. Its more about how you confront reality once it becomes obvious, having been fed bs by international media prior. Having said that, the story about Muslims donating to build a Church was first picked up in international media by Anadolu Agency, from which British media picked it up (http://aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/pakistani-muslims-build-church-for-christian-neighbors/587300), which just emphasizes how important it is as you pointed out for us to have big international broadcast networks. This is the era of information warfare, and propaganda can make or break countries. Just look at how the US and UK created the bs of WMD in Iraq to justify an invasion. 14 years later, the country is a disaster split between Kurds, ISIS, Shia militias etc.
