#1 Only 1 Pakistan minority had anything to do with the country's formation: Hindus. And Hindus have been reduced from 20% to 1% of Pakistan's population. There are major separatist groups among ALL the remaining ethnic minorities: Sindhis, Balochis, Waziris, Pashtos. Revolt is open in both Balochistan and NW Frontier Province. In Sindh, the MQM has slaughtered hundreds of Punjabis, usually extremists - and they advocate banning Jamaat-i-Islami.

At 9-11, Pakistan was collapsing under US sanctions; now they are thriving from US aid and the Karzai's Pashto Heroin industry.

#2 McZ, those aren't ethnic minorities, they are tribes.

Due to globalization of communication and transport the biggest problems facing the world center on this archaic organizational form and its unsuitability to the modern world.

The sole source of legitamacy of Islam is that it provides some commonality for the tribes. But, as can be seen in Pakistan and other areas of the MME when puch comes to shove the tribes will out.

#4 With the single act of proliferating nuclear technology to Iran, Pakistan forsook all right to territorial sovereignty. They will have to consider themselves rather fortunate if Pakistan does not become the first nation in history to undergo nuclear attack without having first declared war.

#5 Pakistan comes across as a toxic cocktail of islamo-fascist one-upmanship supremacism and the worse of Indian egotism.

Indian-muslims, the naturalized ones, are known as "mamaks" in M'sia and which is not really a term of endearment. They always want the full privileges of the malays from the government because of religion.
