It reminds me of a sketch by Iranian comedian, Maz Jobrani. He compared the way different Muslims from different countries greet each other. The Pakistani one is a whole collection of Arabic phrases strung together to indicate that they are very devout.
While I was living in London, it had its perks for me since I met a number of people from different countries, including Muslims from the far reaches of the world. I met a ex Pakistani major who was married to a Jordanian woman since the 80s.
He came to the UK seeking treatment for an injury he received while on duty. But since his injury was so bad that he wouldn't be able to return to service ever again, the Pak military offered him state-sponsored treatment in the UK as a consolation. Here he met the Jordanian woman working as his social worker, and they eventually tied the knot.
The major and I used to regularly meet in the local Sainsbury for our shopping and we talked while browsing the aisles. Inevitably, at one point the discussion veered towards religious beliefs. He said the country he grew up in the fifties and sixties no longer exists. Religion has been ingrained in the minds as something that is forced, not as a guidance to become better people, and in extension, a better society. People fervently judge others to see who's a better Muslim by the amount of religious stories they remember and the number of Quranic verses they can memorise. All the while being completely ignorant of the purpose of their faith; to make themselves better- not others, but themselves.
He said, God's not going to ask you how many people you have forced your opinion on to, but he will ask, what have you done to make your self better. People have stopped thinking, they consider any debate or clarification about religion as a great personal insult. Their focus has changed to other, rather than themselves, and now we have become a laughing stock among other progressive Muslim nations.
