The Pakistani people, with all of their governmental funding from the west, fail to learn this lesson. Pakistan does not exist to promote freedom or secularism — that is not the calling of the nation. The most successful countries in the modern age exist on an ideological basis, meaning they fight for something on an international level. This country was built from the blood of martyrs, to establish a safe haven for the Muslims of the Subcontinent. The unifying point of this nation is to guarantee freedom of religion to Muslims globally. Yet, we consistently fail and allow the economic and political agendas of the elite to negate our mission.
Burma, with its long history of Rohingya oppression, is finally receiving a public relations slap on the wrist but that it is not enough. Common sense dictates that no nation cares about a fiery prime minister giving a domestic speech and complaining about Burmese human rights violations, nor do nations care about Facebook posts. Public opinion must be backed by economic and diplomatic tactics, a fact that many people around the world fail to realise. The Burmese are not the only people inhibiting Muslims from practicing their religion. Our allies consistently make the list by utilising measures to prohibit the practice of Islam in their countries.
