They are just misunderstood...

Even the fact that the court has found her innocent they still want her to be hanged to enforce the power of the clerics and their religion.

Their peaceful religion right?

Failed state? Not sure.

Utter basket case? Absolutely.

A prime example for why it's a bad idea ever letting religion near government and legislation.

It depends on where you're talking about in Pakistan. The regions that voted for Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal in the general election are some of the most dangerous, backward places in the world. MMA came 4th in the election so that's something.

What's alarming is that Afghanistan looks like it is starting to collapse, and that's probably going to have some impact on Pakistan. In particular, the most radical regions of Pakistan border Afghanistan (it's not coincidental).

The assassinations of the government ministers Taseer and Bhatti in 2011 for backing Asia Bibi's release (on the blasphemy case) is disquieting, as are the protests calling for her to be executed.



It's not a failed state, but it's sitting on a powder keg.

That's why I don't give a fuuuuck when I hear about incidents in that part of the world.

How could I care about anyone who has such a disregard for human life?

Any country where the national airline slaughters a goat to ward off bad luck is a-ok in my book.

Kashmir is in India.

In India, Pakistan and China.

I was on a metro in Hong Kong this year and was standing beside a pakistani lad.

I was overlooking his phone (nosey bolix i know), his mate texted him that there was a bombing in his local village. First reaction was shock and then second text was to blame the West and CIA for this bombing and cause a breakdown in pakistan.

Meet another pakistani lad later on (great guy), who left cause it's a **** hole. He told me their entire media is blame America for EVERYTHING. Also Allah is best and can never say a bad word about Allah.

Parts of the country are meant to be beautiful and I have meet lovely pakistani people. They need to spend more money on education rather than nuclear weapons.

Great to see.I have no problem with people like these. It's the ones who think you should be stoned in public or worse I have a problem with.

Even in Pakistan these people aren’t the majority but there is a lot of people who have incredibly backward beliefs. It’s not a country I would ever want to visit on my own. I worked with a few Pakistanis when I was in college and they were the soundest lads. 2 of them are still my friends now. They are my age and would have similar views to me on most social issues although they do have a somewhat immature attitude towards homosexuality.

They’d tell you straight out that Pakistan is a basket case and they have no intention of returning there full time. They’re building lives for themselves here now. One of them started a level 6 course a few years ago and has worked his way up and is now in third year of a level 8 IT degree. He’s paying for it all himself full fees by working 7 nights a week as a taxi driver. I have no idea how he does it. Serious smarts and work ethic. That’s why it always pisses me off when I hear people bashing Muslim immigrants. Most of them are normal people just like us who want the same things we do.

And most of them are doing just what we would be doing if we found ourselves in a country so heavily influenced by religious nutjobs - they're running away from it.

As the Donald would say it's a ****hole. There's a reason why most of the grooming gangs in the UK are from Pakistan, it's a basket case of a country and really scary they have Nukes. Isn't there a crazy statistic about the percentage of inbreeding in the Pakistani community in the UK. Crazy numbers of them married to first cousins.

In terms of cities, places like Lahore are supposed to be ok but then you get cesspits like Karachi. The rural areas are back in the stone age.
