Dear Please
He has been doing that a lot now a days and its getting annoying.
and the same religion and religious people are still used being used the foreign elements to spread choas in pakistan and the subcontinent was divided because of extreme religious ideologies and differences.Secularism promotes nationality rather than a religion and wherever there is a nationalism those nations are difficult to divide.Now imagine when you teach those one or two phrases to millions ........
The Britishers were responsible for the partition and they were the main players of this game.The used a religion to fulfill their agendas.What you are talking is just what a common Pakistani get,s in school or from his equally brainwashed elders.
HiMost PDF members here from Pakistan know how it really was to grow up in Pakistan and studying all those school texts where Islam was the only religion which qualified as a religion and none other religion was even mentioned.If the other religion was mentioned ,you definitely read negative things about that religion.They were infidels,traitors or you have been kept completely ignorant about the realities and good things other religions have.I remember all my teachers not just the islamiat teacher talked bad about other religions specially the hindus openly in a class room.That,s the beautiful tolerant culture which prevails in our schools.My mindset only got changed when i went abroad .Now even after becoming adults most Pakistanis take them as second class citizens,traitors or in worst case scenario as inferior human beings.From the very start they were been told islam is the only religion which qualifies as "deen" and most of the time they were deliberately kept ignorant about the other religions and religious minorities in Pakistan or whenever they got a chance they tried to portray them as evil and harmful.Pakistan’s public school textbooks contain deeply troubling content that portrays non-Muslim citizens as outsiders, unpatriotic, and inferior; are filled with errors; and present widely-disputed historical “facts” as settled history.Missing from these textbooks are any references to the rights of religious minorities and their positive contributions to Pakistan’s development. These textbooks sadly reflect the alarming state today of religious freedom in Pakistan. A country’s education system, including its textbooks, should promote religious tolerance, not close the door to cooperation and coexistence.
Unfortunately that,s the mindset most Pakistanis have towards other religions .We complain too much about religious extremism in our country but at the same we plant the seeds of extremism through our school texts.A youngster who in his school years read about other religions or at least was not poisoned by religious hate mongering is difficult to brainwash than the one who just saw and read islam as one and only religion and others as yahudi and nusrani.
Below are just my few thoughts that i think should be put in action to groom a new generation of tolerant Pakistanis.
- The textbooks should reflect that religious freedom is a constitutional protection provided to all Pakistanis;
- The curriculum should inculcate a sense of constructive patriotism, rather than a sense of fear;
- Peaceful coexistence and religious diversity in Pakistan should be acknowledged so that students learn to respect all faiths; and
- Historical omissions and misrepresentations of different events should be eliminated, and diverse viewpoints should be included. @Zibago @haviZsultan
most of the people have disagreed with what you have said . it is the mis interpretation of islam by the secularists and the extremists that is the root cause of all the problems. people like you and fazl ulllah are equally dangerous for the ideology of the islam and are playing important role in de tracking muslims. it is the nationalism which has made today's muslims so weak that muslim countries are being bombarded one by one for the last 15 years or so and the rest of the muslims don't even utter a word against the aggression of the NATO. all anti islamic forces are united in the shape of NATO being secretly led by israel. they attacked iraq, afghanistan , libya , syria one by one directly or through proxies but the muslim nations are silent . why?because of this nationalism and materialism which you are preaching. we don't care for the muslims of syria or libya or any other country just because they are from other nations and we are enjoying our lives. the muslims of syria are converting to christianity in many european countries and all of us are responsible in it. we will be questioned that when "muhajirs" made their hijrat in 21st century where were the "ansaars"? if we look at the west even they are united under some form of agreement. a war of a single NATO country means all the member countries will fight for it. we muslims also have to get united under the flag of ummah and work for each other other wise we will be wiped out from the map of the world one by one . today you are not helping any one tomorrow no one will come for your help. Allah has clearly mentioned in Quran" aur Allah ki rassi ko mazboti say thamay rakho or taffarukay main mat parho" . that " taffuruka" is the sectarian difference, which the mulvi teaches, and the nationalism which people like you teach. i am not entirely against nationalism. it is good to some extent but no where in quran it is mentioned to give preference to your country , tribe etc over ummah.
Now imagine when you teach those one or two phrases to millions ........
You need to read up a lot of history. Show me an example, where British uses the religion to divide hindu, muslims?
what you said is true, however making hindus and sikhs look like enemy does not help once you got your county.
both are true.. there was hindu muslim division and also british wanted to exploit it.. british certainly did not create it. it was already there. in any case, it makes no sense to create a generation of kids hating your own minorities.
Just as a real life example, @Indus Falcon 's maternal grandfathers whole village was massacred by hindus.
