A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Pakistan was NOT established as an "Islamic Republic". Pakistan became an Islamic Republic in 1956 only (i.e. 9 years after its creation); "Prostitution of Islam for political ends" as President Iskander Mirza described it.
Little knowledge can definitely makes you look rather foolish, and I'm afraid that is the case with you.
From 1947 to 1956, Pakistan was just a territory. It was called "dominion of Pakistan"...Do you know of any other 'dominions' existing today? Lol, no...because what exists are 'states' and not dominions.
So from 1947 to 1956--Pakistan, although independent, was not a defined state. We had no constitution, we had no basis of our statehood, and basically we had no identity. And all of this is fine because we were a new country trying to establish
what would we be in the league of nations.
So in 1956, we established our first constitution and guess what? In that constitution, we established ourselves as Islamic Republic. And since then,
ALL constitutions, founding documents, and our founding leaders' vision points towards one and only one fact: Pakistan to be an Islamic state where the culture of Islam is nurtured and minorities are treated with justice as prescribed byIslam.
Furthermore, Pakistan was
meant to be an Islamic country even before 1947. M.A Jinnah talked about Islam and it's role in the state again, and again, and again, and again...in his speeches, interviews, public addresses, and
even negotiations with the British high command in United India.
It's all pretty well recorded, actually. I took few "South Asian Studies" classes in my university here in the U.S. My professors (one Indian origin, one Irish-German origin American) stated the same thing...that Jinnah envisioned an Islamic country based on justice and social harmony.
Guess even these professors...who weren't even Pakistanis and hence were neutral...did not know history but our liberal wanna be's do?
Shame on you folks for peddling lies about Pakistan and it's history.
