@ vampboy - 2.07.20 - 09:54pm Chinese Uighur Muslims have it bad. Plenty of other forms of oppression. Extremism in all forms is vile. But nationalism in any country to a healthy degree is crucial for that state to prosper. You can't endorse extremist policies and hope to achieve lasting success in long run. I can't say I've heard of a moderate form of nationalism that kept itself on some specific narrow defined path so as to avoid the ugliness. |

Pakistan also took a downturn from the moment General Zia was elected and he endorsed ullema perspective of how states should govern while removing secularism from the picture, the result of which introduced Sharia' in Muslim community. The idea was that it would prosper the state by giving Muslims *who are considered a distinct nation of people an upper hand above all other communities. This paved way for extremism. A more classically liberal secularist approach which saw the entire Pakistani society as a distinct nation could have rather been the very vehicle the nation needed to prosper. Nations tend to adopt the more extremist measures when solving local issues. |

I haven't either, but that's a nation's struggle and the need to have competent leaders who look after national interests above global interests.

@ vampboy - 2.07.20 - 10:00pm I haven't either, but that's a nation's struggle and the need to have competent leaders who look after national interests above global interests. yes a leader who cares about the welfare of his or her countrymen over their party or personal career, that's the ideal. I don't think anyone should try looking for that behind anything labelled as nationalist. |

Don't let him kid you. He knows if he let some fit, strapping, tanned 20 year old lad live in his house, he would soon be homeless, cos Bambi would have herself some real man for a change. |
