And if everything goes well for you, Pakistan will be an example in Muslim world in future. You are distinctly unique civilization where you practice Islam to the core, but not so conservative like Arabs. You are modern and trying to implement modern concepts to your nation, but you are not even close to being Turkey who pretends to be more Like Europeans...
Good to luck you Pakistan bud...I hope and wish...You will be an example of Islamic nation where nations will try to related with you than other way around..
It is very true. Pakistan would've been a very different country today if God had given Muhammad Ali Jinnah, perhaps, 10 more years to live.
Unfortunately, still conservative ideals are held in Pakistan. I would, for one, like to see Pakistan utilize its all-seasonal beach as a resort, it would be such a good influx of Tourism like India utilizes Goa, but religious conservatism stops that. Many more things.
Turkey, I don't think are trying to be like Europeans. They are going along with what they feel comfortable with, and it's fine. I like the environment here.
It reminds me of this article I was reading in a Turkish news site, wherein they recalled when a Pakistan Military field hospital was sent for the Cyprus Operation. The general, or some other rank, I don't remember, mentioned the same idea; that the environment was nice in Turkey, welcoming, and he would encourage youth of Pakistan to learn Turkish, and youth of Turkey to learn Urdu, so they both can learn better from each other. An exchange of ideals and pieces in religion and socio-political field would be nice.
This is actually the most correct assessment.
I dare not compare ourselves to Indians or Afghans, or the Arabs or the Turks. We're just as different, maybe in past similar to Afghans and Indians, but today different, and that is visually apparent.
I don't understand why people want to compare.
Yes and because his idealogy didn't work he ruined the culture and caused coups.
The biggest opportunity was lost by Arabs when Pakistan offered a uniting group, an idea of an Islamistan.
You know what saved Egypt? Pakistan's Pak-Turk agreement, and leverages used on UK.
Pakistan has always been selfless, probably the most selfless. But Arabs were pursuing these stupid Nationalist policies. If Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia had listened to Iraq in the 1950s, Muslims including Arabs would be in much better, better position than before, probably holding the status of a superpower.
