After a life that resembled yours. Borderline atheist. I choose Islam. Being muslim is not being slaves to Arabs. Extreme nationalism broke the last Caliphate of muslims. We were a superpower of the time. The entire caliphate like the United States. Extreme nationalism broke that. On one side they sent Major Lawrence on the other they sent The Young Turks and Ataturk Pasha.
Rulers of habibis and some of their folks are racist/arab superiority nationalists. But a whole lot of them believe in muslim brotherhood.
Light the rope on both ends and then watch the whole thing burn that's what the goras and zionists did. Nationalism is good as it gives you a certain degree of ghairat but extreme nationalism ruins everything.
Yar musalman bura hai. Islam nai. Gande musalmano ki waja se purey Islam ko demonize karna band kro.
Extreme Nationalism was more like Language based Ethnicity
Nationalism and Language based Ethnic Divide are two separate concepts, Nationalism is irrespective of what language you speak. While what Ottoman Empire endured was a problem in regions where people were categorized differently based on their Language.
To Coin up Arabs as Racist is not true , just like any nation every country have their own group of people who see themselves as Superior based on their Language , the Same Arabs also have housed Pakistanis
for over 20-30 years. In Pakistan there are many Rich Families who see themselves above other Pakistanis because they feel they have birth right over every thing based on their family name
Yes some of the Arabs are super rich , they have BMW or Lamborghinis or Ferraris etc. Some may be snobbish but it does not means you forget the folks who helped Pakistan on many occasions.
The difference exist , because people have not attempted enough to sit down and sort out their differences , and forgot the simple lesson , all people in Eyes of Allah are equal , only the one most pious and humble are his dearest
If the Arabs has not leant Pakistan Money or Deferred oil , our economy would have seen dire consequences , for every story their are two faces of coin. One must always remember the good side as well so balance can be maintained
- The Ships Tabuk and Yarmouk are both Traditional Names from Islamic Past History ,so they are a great addition they are not inducted that name based on a language but are based on Rich heritage , Islamic Heritage which is shared by all Muslims of world.
Every thing should be done in Moderation with ample self reflection
Nationalism is a great concept , it unites people of country irrespective of the minor language differences
