Is it not possible to promote secular nationalism in Pakistan and for it to be successful?
I thought that this is what we, in the West, were trying to do.
Would it ever be possible for Pakistani muslims to become Hindus like their ancestors were?
I think that the answer to that question is 'no', and is this not a terrible shame?
getting a country of people to leave islam is impossible..
every muslim is like a muslim missionary.
Go to the east end of london. If you mention religion to a muslim, then he'll try to convert you. Infact, if you talk for any length of time, he'll try. He'll say we also believe in the prophets e.t.c. then he'll try to add mohammed.. They are told in the Quran how to sell it to jews and christians, literally "say this to the jews and the christians". And they hate atheists.. They are all very strong in their belief that G-d exists and think atheists are just denying the obvious. And they will never leave islam because the punishment is death.. and they feel they'd deserve death if they left.. British ones see a weak christianity in Britain and it strengthens their belief in the superiority of islam. As I said, Every muslim is a missionary. Try speaking to them.. you'll see how crazy your idea is.
If the west can't even wage war against a weaker enemy, they can't even understand them, they have no chance converting them out of their religion!
Really, being a religious jew, when I hear on the radio or television, discussions about religion.. I see that the people discussing it have the intellectual understanding of small children. Muslims can play everybody for fools.
It would be good if some ex muslims made tv programs to get muslims to leave islam, and broadcasted them.. Though I don't think it would help that much..
Sometimes people join a false religion for some emotional reason, and nothing gets them out except a psychiatrist, and even there they'd have to admit they have a problem. Many of them are not honest anyway..
Your idea is just crazy.. impossible.
The west isn't trying to secularize muslims.. they are trying to spread democracy.. with disasterous consequences.. Look at Gaza, when they had democracy there, they voted Hamas. I knew that would happen..
chamish said something funny about democracy in the arab world.. somethlikg like... once they have their first democratic election, that's their last!
