I always wondered where...Shalom Aryeh Ben Samuel, <br /><br />I always wondered where are the Pakistani jews, as I knew that there were nearly 2000 Jews in Pakistan. Now I know what happened with them. It is a very sad story you told that how your family went through all this pain and you still struggling for your identity. According to the founding ideology of Pakistan, every body must be free to practice one's religion without any fear. What happened with your family and other Jews people is utterly utterly wrong. Pakistani govt. should officially apologies to pakistan Jews citizens, accept their identity, protect them and provide them with all the support they want, because they are Pakistanis. <br />Few people acts does not represent all the individuals of any country. I am a muslim and I live in Karachi, Pakistan. I have Christians, Hindus, Ahmadis, Zoroastrians friends. Karachi is a diverse international city with openness. Yes there are problems as well due to many factors but common man has nothing to do with any wrong doing. <br />I stand with Fishel and you and any other Jew living in Pakistan. <br />Stay safe, stay blessedAhmednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-48140537944996692662016-07-24T14:38:34.932+01:002016-07-24T14:38:34.932+01:00Pakistan does not want to become "a religious...Pakistan does not want to become "a religiously diverse country". In fact, after persecuting the Hindus who had stayed on, Pakistan began persecuting or excluding Muslim minority sects. Consider the Ahmadiyya. This was a rather modernizing Muslim sect which started up in India in the 19th century, as far as I know. They were proud Muslims although modernizers. The Ahmadiyya were among the most enthusiastic adherents of the Pakistan idea [that is, that the Indian Muslims should have a separate state from the Hindu majority].<br /><br />So what happened to the Ahmadiyya as time went on? They were officially declared to NOT be Muslims. The state decided that they were NOT Muslims. So Pakistan narrowed the definition of what a Muslim is. Pakistan hardly seems ready to give real equality or even physical protection to non-Muslims.Eliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677825.post-10299980153225916302016-07-23T22:05:48.979+01:002016-07-23T22:05:48.979+01:00Very sad to learn about your family's ordeal. ...Very sad to learn about your family's ordeal.
