Pakistan has vast differences with India on numerous grounds that separation would have been a necessity had partition not took place. Religion was not and never will be the stumbling block between the citizens of both countries. That's best left for another topic.
Only in your fictitious world is Pakistan synonymous with Islam. 'Muslims' like yourself do a splendid job everyday in trying to change that. Let's not try to distort facts, though.
Prior to partition, Jinnah, tried his utmost to separate religion from politics. Distancing himself from the Khalifat[Pan-Islamic] movement and other radical outfits while Gandhi[loved by Hindu India] was in full favour of the Khalifat movement. After the Lucknow Pact, prominent members belonging to the Hindu faith of IIM at the time and INC rightfully labelled him 'a champion of Hindu-Muslim unity'. Hardly someone who wants to play the religious card. All Jinnah wanted was to safeguard muslim interests within the country. The fanatical, Gandhi, didn't even want that.
Here's the words of your founding father:
"I cannot emphasize it too much. We should begin to work in that spirit and in course of time all these angularities of the majority and minority communities, the Hindu community and the Muslim community, because even as regards Muslims you have Pathans, Punjabis, Shias, Sunnis and so on, and among the Hindus you have Brahmins, Vashnavas, Khatris, also Bengalis, Madrasis and so on, will vanish. Indeed if you ask me, this has been the biggest hindrance in the way of India to attain the freedom and independence and but for this we would have been free people long long ago. No power can hold another nation, and specially a nation of 400 million souls in subjection; nobody could have conquered you, and even if it had happened, nobody could have continued its hold on you for any length of time, but for this. Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the State. As you know, history shows that in England, conditions, some time ago, were much worse than those prevailing in India today. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants persecuted each other. Even now there are some States in existence where there are discriminations made and bars imposed against a particular class. Thank God, we are not starting in those days. We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State. The people of England in course of time had to face the realities of the situation... what exists now is that every man is a citizen, an equal citizen of Great Britain and they are all members of the Nation.
Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State."
It's pretty evident by his own words that Pakistan was never was supposed to be an Islamic State. It was eight years after Jinnah's death that Pakistan even was named one.
Right up until he drew his last breath, Jinnah, had nothing but love for India. After all he spent most of his life dreaming, plotting and fighting for a united India. While it was a bitter sweet pill for him, for the rest of the people it was an absolute blessing. Jinnah deserves to be remembered for what he was, an Indian patriot, the man deserves that after all he gave, Pakistan, not what the extremist elements on either side like to claim he was.
Pakistan was supposed to be a secular country inclusive to all, where muslims or anyone else regardless of their faith, caste or denomination wouldn't be marginalised. Blithering extremist like yourself will never change that, but people like yourself and the extremist elements present today go to prove that Pakistan has a long way to go in order to fulfil Jinnah's dream.
I reckon youre not Anglo saxon but an Indian. Shameful that your ashamed of showing your naionality. Well, I could care less.
As for your selective rantings:
I have one underlying principle in mind: the principle of
Muslim democracy. It is my belief that
our salvation lies in following the golden rules of conduct set for us by our great lawgiver, the Prophet of Islam.
- In 1948, Address to Sibi Darbar
Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but
Muslims ideology which has to be preserved which has come to us a precious gift and treasure and which we hope, others will share with us.
- Address to Frontier Muslim Students Federation on 18th June 1945
- have full faith in my people that they will rise to every occasion worthy of our past Islamic history, glory and traditions.
Islam lays great emphasis on the social side of things. Every day, the rich and the poor, the great and the small living in a locality are brought five times in a day in the mosque in the terms of perfect equality of mankind and thereby the foundation of a healthy social relationship is laid and established through prayer. At the end of Ramazan comes the new moon, the crescent as a signal for a mass gathering on the ‘Id day again in perfect equality of mankind which effects the entire Muslim world.
- Message on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr in October 1941
The Quran is the general code for the Muslims, a religious, social, civil, commercial, military, judicial, criminal and penal code. It regulates every thing, from the ceremonies of religion to those of daily life, from the salvation of the soul to the health of the body, from the rights of all to those of each individual from morality to crime; from punishment here to that in the life to come, and
our Holy Prophet Mohammad (Peace by upon Him) has enjoined on us that every Musalman should posses a copy of the Quran and be his own priest. Therefore, Islam is not merely confined to the spiritual tenets and doctrines or ritual and ceremonies. It is a complete code regulating the whole Muslim society, every department of life, collective and individual.
When we say 'This flag (Muslim League's flag) is the flag of Islam'
they think we are introducing religion into politics - a fact of which we are proud. Islam gives us a complete code. It is not only religion but it contains laws, philosophy and politics. In fact, it contains everything that matters to a man from morning to night. When we talk of Islam we take it as all embracing word. We do not mean any ill. The foundation of our Islamic code is that we stand for liberty, equality and fraternity.
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of
Islamic social justice could find free play.

Mr Jinnah was no doubt profound supporter of Union of India, until when owner of pigs let Pigs inisde mosuqes and what not when they won the election. Which gave him a stron reason to get off from Hindu rule. The moment British would leave, we we will be subjugated to Hindu rule. And as we can see it now, Gau rakshaks and wat not.
You see the history you have been taught In CBSE curruiculm is doctored my friend. As I Said before You dont have slightest idea of of the history of Pakistan. Secondly There was no such thing as Indian. It was British Indian raj.
India was more like What the name european is. A name given to subcontinents loose states. ( mostly which were under muslim control)
A brotherly word of advice to our Pakistani brothers, Your foreign policy is based on "Muslim Umma" concept, the idea that Muslim Umma is going to play the same role for you that NATO is playing for western society. But the thing you gotta know is that the Muslim Umma is much more fractured than western society in terms of linguistics, geographical, dispersion and tribalism. Muslims across the Muslims world don't speaks the same language, they don't have the same kind of Islam, some of them are very comfortable where they are they won't wanna wreck that for something like Kashmir. So in short terms, there is no such thing as Muslim Umma. Muslim Umma has died long long time ago and the Umma that you hear about is just a scheme used by GCC countries to use you as their mercenaries to fight their wars. Look at the Palestine Issue for example, there are 1.7 billion Muslims in the world and 6.1 million Jews in Israel, that makes 279 Muslim per Jew, and somehow these 1.7 billion Muslims can't get Palestine back from these Jews? Even though Al-Aqsa Mosque, the second holy place in Islam is located in there? So why do you think anybody in the Muslim Umma is going himself killed by fighting 1.3 billion people to get Kashmir back for you guys? Do you think it really matters to those GCC countries who gets the Kashmir?
@KediKesenFare said India's policy won't work in the long term but he is wrong, India is clearly aimed to be a future super power, and when that happens do you really think these GCC counties that probably will have big trade relations with India at that time are going to get themselves in to trouble by backing you guys??? Being mercenary is all they want from you cause quite frankly, that's all you have to offer. Right now China, an infidel country, is more useful to you than all of the Muslim Umma and that's because they are the Indian's rivals, so they are backing you. The sooner you figure out about this Umma scheme and start rebuilding your economy and foreign relationships will be better for you.
Then the very existence of so called revolution sis fake in Iran. You must immediately get rid of it you know. It is only churning out ignorants like you or other Zombies who dwell in past Non islamic glory of fire worshipping Iran.
Damn the cheap propaganda is giving its results.
