Pakistan doesn't think 'God particle' scientist is all that
Please wake up! Not the whole nation thinks like this, Ahamadiyas are Muslims too.

Theorist Peter Higgs lives to see his boson
Will Higgs lead us to a 'Star Trek' transporter?
The Higgs boson made simple
The science world celebrated last week when a group of Swiss researchers discovered the elusive Higgs boson "God particle." Sadly, Abdus Salam, the physicist who predicted the particle's existence and won a Nobel Prize for his efforts, neither lived to witness Wednesday's historic announcement nor is recognized in his native Pakistan. Salam was once a name that schoolchildren saw in textbooks, but he's now shunned due to his religious affiliation. Salam was an Ahmadi, a sect declared to be non-Muslim in an amendment to Pakistan's constitution, a law enforced even after death. The word "Muslim" was even removed from Salam's tombstone. "The way he has been treated is such a tragedy," physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy says.
