| | Hinduism in Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hinduism is one of the smallest religions in the Pakistan, but has played a major role in its history, culture and politics. | | | With the possibility of Hinduism being actually born in what is today Pakistan, and with the greater possibility that the peoples of the region played a major role in the synthesis of the modern religion, Hinduism's history there is significant. | | | The Pakistan Hindu Panchayat and the Pakistani Hindu Welfare Association are the primary civic organizations that represent and organize Hindu communities on social, economic, religious and political issues. |

| | For Hindus in India, Hinduism is an inextricable part of their existence, a complete approach to life that involves social class, earning a living, family, politics, diet, etc., in addition to the things Westerners view as religious. | | | Hindu temples are the focus of religious life, but there is not a strong tradition of corporate congregational worship. | | | Hinduism is the name given to a family of religions and cultures that began and still flourish in India. |

| | Pakistan Politicized Islam - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International Agreements, Population, Social Statistics, Political System |
| | Indeed, one of the beliefs of Islam is that the purpose of the state is to provide an environment where Muslims can properly practice their religion. | | | Through the history of Islam, from the Ummayyad (661-750) and Abbasid empires (750-1258) to the Mughals (1526- 1858) and the Ottomans (1300-1923), religion and statehood have been treated as one. | | | From the outset, politics and religion have been intertwined both conceptually and practically in Islam. |

| | PESRSPECTIVES ON ISLAM AND PAKISTAN |
| | The author observes: "Sacred law is the key to Islam in politics, the critical instrument by which Islam affects the mundane lives of its adherents." As a result, regardless of nationality, a cry in the name of Islam almost always touches a responsive chord. | | | From all this it is clear that secularism or the separation of the state from religion is abhorrent to Islam, for the ulema is a virtual superstate. | | | As for the claim that Islam is ‘pluralist and democratic’, it is so far removed from the scripture and practice of Islam as to be laughable. |

| | BBC NEWS Have Your Say Radical Islam in Pakistan |
| | Islam cannot be separated from any aspect of the Life of its believers and it is this reason why it can be separated from politics either. | | | I think Islam is the only religion that explicitly teaches its followers not to be harsh even towards the traditional mores of other people,respect rights, rituals and beliefs of others. | | | I believe it is this ignorance of Islam, its teaching and its values, which is creating the "Islamphobia" which was the topic of discussion recently at the BBC. |

| | The Role of Islam in Pakistan's Future |
| | Unless Pakistan’s all-powerful military can be persuaded to cede power gradually to secular civilians and allow the secular politics of competing economic and regional interests to prevail over religious sentiment, the country’s vulnerability to radical Islamic politics will not wane. | | | For the foreseeable future, Islam will remain a significant factor in Pakistan’s politics. | | | Nevertheless, Pakistan’s status as an Islamic ideological state is rooted deeply in history and is linked closely both with the praetorian ambitions of the Pakistani military and the Pakistani elite’s worldview. |

| | And even now, many Pakistanis do not believe that the breakup was a consequence of Pakistans domestic politics. | | | The Muslims of India understandably never explicitly said that Pakistan should represent them, though it is likely that many welcomed Pakistans forceful interventions. | | | India has slowly come to a position of accepting the permanency of Pakistan (though many Pakistanis continue to doubt this), while Pakistan has not accepted India in the same way (though this is probably the view only of the elite.) |

| | A claim that the creation of Pakistan was a fulfilment of millenarian religious aspirations of Indian Muslims would therefore stand in contradiction to the alienation of the principal bearers of the religion of Islam in India from the Pakistan movement and, contrary-wise, the explicit commitment of the leaders of the movement to secular politics. | | | The Pakistan movement, in that sense and to that extent, became a national movement, on the basis of the 'Two Nation Theory' that Jinnah propounded, affirming that Muslims of India were a separate nation from Hindus. | | | This view that the Pakistan movement was a movement of the (weak) Muslim national bourgeoisie and therefore a legitimate anti-imperialist movement, deserving of communist support, in line with the stand taken by Lenin at the Second Congress of the Communist International in 1921. |

| | Externally, the politics of brinksmanship has succeeded in getting the US to do what it was reluctant to do before: namely, explicitly blacklist certain Pakistan-based terrorist groups for the first time, and put pressure on the Musharraf government to clamp down on these groups. | | | The military risks (the uncertainty of military gains given a definite and strong Pakistan military response) and the political risks (alienating international opinion, especially the US preoccupied with stabilizing the post-Taliban situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan) are too great for India actually to go to war. | | | Since the December 13 attack on the Indian Parliament, the Indian government has not been engaged in the politics of actually preparing to go to war but rather in the politics of brinksmanship. |
