I dont understand why on these forums talking against muslims or Pakistan is welcomed and is considered a sign of high intellect and brilliancy. On the other hand uttering something for muslims ot Pakistan gets you branded as a bad guy, an extremist, theocratic and a one deserving of all curses.
I consider myself an outright liberal, not religious from any angle, but my liberalism tells me to give the right of opinion to others whose opinion does not happen to match with mine.
In my opinion liberalism does not and should not be defined as being equal to Anti-muslim or Anti-Pakistani or anti any group of people for that matter. If that is the case then it is far narrow minded then mullahs. That is the kind of liberalism being practised in Turkey or Algeria these days, where ANYTHING, ANY BELEIF, ANY RELIGION but islam is allowed. This for sure is not the American kind of liberalism where different religion/sacts/languages/colors are respected and have a right to voice their point of view.
Come on, open up people, broaden your horizons. Dont make it a habbit of bashing people. Remember, things/views/ideas are NOT right or wrong they are just different. Look at them in the same perspective. Accept the differences. Take care ya all.
