How Did Pakistan Become 96 Percent Muslim?

How Did Pakistan Become 96 Percent Muslim? By Uzay Bulut in PJ Media.

Pakistan was once majority-Hindu. It was part of the Indian civilization with significant religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity.

This is no longer the case. Native Hindu and other non-Muslim cultures were systematically and largely erased by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Moreover, attempts at reviving the Hindu and other pre-Islamic names of geographical locations are met with backlash from Muslims in the country. …

A little history:

Before the arrival of Islam in the 8th century, the region that is now called Pakistan and the broader Indian subcontinent was exceedingly diverse. Throughout millennia, the region’s religious diversity included a rich mix of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, other local/folk beliefs, and later, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity.

Throughout the last 14 centuries, the Islamization of the Indian subcontinent has been shaped by massacres, pogroms, persecutions, and forced conversions. This spans the initial Arab expansions, the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, and the partition of India, up to the present. …

One of the largest genocides of Hindus in the post-independence period occurred during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War….

During the nine-month conflict, Pakistani soldiers and their local collaborators systematically targeted Hindus. They engaged in mass killings, rapes, and the destruction of property. It is estimated that 300,000 to 3 million people were killed. …

This systematic persecution led to a drastic decline in the Hindu population in Pakistan, from nearly 15% at the time of Partition to less than 2% today.

It’s happening still:

Pakistan’s current population is approximately 259 million, whereas the Christian population is around 4,785,000. There are approximately 3,479,000 Hindus and 3,522,000 members of other religious minorities in the country. The Islamization of Pakistan has led to extreme and ongoing persecution of these religious minorities.

Hindus and other non-Muslims in Pakistan continue to face religious discrimination, violence, and forced conversions. In recent years, there has been an alarming increase in the abduction and forced conversion of Hindu and Christian girls, often underage, who are forcibly married to Muslim men. Local authorities and religious leaders often turn a blind eye, with judicial systems offering little to no protection to these vulnerable communities.

 

 

Something similar happened to North Africa, which used to be Christian and Jewish. Only Spain evicted Islam, though it took seven centuries.

Islam is different — supremacist and intolerant:

Meanwhile, India is home to the third-largest Muslim population in the world and the largest global Muslim-minority population. India’s Muslim population is estimated to be approximately 200 to 213 million people, accounting for roughly 14.2% to 15% of the country’s total population. While Pakistan has persecuted and largely exterminated its Hindu communities, Muslims have thrived in India as equal citizens of the country.

Out to conquer the world:

The ultimate outcome of Islam’s desire to dominate the world is the creation of nations such as Pakistan, where indigenous non-Muslim cultures and peoples are eliminated, and the surviving, tiny non-Muslim communities perpetually live under tyranny. Non-Muslim countries of the world must immediately start learning lessons from Pakistan’s history of Islamization and take precautions so they will not experience a similar fate.

Sure it can’t happen here? Dr Maalouf:

Islamic preacher: “When Muslims become the majority in the West in the next 40 years, non‑Muslims will have to convert, pay the jizya, or be killed, because Sharia will rule.”

Is the message clear, or do they need to spell it out?

“Islam” means “submission.”
