Like most American Muslims, I'm born and raised here in the United States. I love America. I wrote an entire book on the topic (amzn.to/4cvvtFI). American Muslims score high on patriotism. The problem is those people — often Republicans — who want us to disavow our distinctive religious and cultural traditions. That's un-American.

There is nothing to love about Pakistan. The stated view of Pakistan is to make India bleed by thousand cuts. I don't see a single reason to love a country which wants India to become extinct. Things that deserve hatred need to be hated. You cannot love someone who is constantly planning to kill you.

In the old days girls were not allowed step out of the house. What kind of white washing is this ?

Yes Pakistan carries strategic value for US and China, for their own geopolitical realities and goals. I know you want to mis interpret what I am saying as some sort of being anti Pakistan, which actually I am not, I pretty much want a good working relationship with Pakistan and had mentioned it in my original post. My point is our Geo political realities are not in putting our hope in Pakistan, rather on building our own capabilities and strengthening ties with China.


samay reflects on the aftermath of latent controversy, kashmiri past and life learnings.



About 20% of American-born Muslims marry non-Muslims. A century ago, for Catholics, the number was ~10%, and for Jews ~3%. So Muslims are assimilating MUCH faster than historical religious minorities.

17) to your detractors u r one; don't pretend like you can say "well those other indians..." it's also cringe, cowardly and not virtuous overall. if you look marginally brown and have a 'weird name' it's all the same. 'those ppl' don't care if you don't wear a turban or eat meat

If the partition riots (1947) had not occured, Muslims would have formed a majority in the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. At present, they are just 4%. This region (Punjab & Haryana) cuts the land based continuity of Islamicate civilisation, which extends from Morocco till Arakan (Myanmar).



I mean who could've predicted that we'd be on the path towards shi'ite-catholicism vs judeo-hinduism
