That is why I said most Muslims I have interacted with are good people, they are your average Muslims. But the ones who are really strict types i.e. the ones with the long beard and shaven Mustache, those ones are the ones that hate non Muslims those are probably Wahhabis or Salafis. The Taliban types who are featured in the documentary in this thread.

BTW, from where in Pakistan are you originally from? and welcome brother

Oh yeah..don't worry, extremist wahabis and salafists hate everyone. They even hate other Muslims :cool2: .Wahabism/Salafism is puritanical form of Islam...very strict and literalist..so you can expect craziness from them. But traditional Islam, or what is called as global Islam, is not Thank God!!!

And where from punjab? umm thats a hard question. I lived all over Punjab..My father was a government officer so he will have 'transfer' to new area every now and then..so I don't really know where I'm from Punjab :biggrin2: My dad side is from South Punjab (Rahim Yar Khan, Khanpur side) and my mom side is from Faislabad side. We are originally from Jalandar. From village called "Uggi" ... All the people from Uggi who settled in Pakistan named their new village as Uggi too...

When a Sikh, Buddhist, Hindu, Jain and to a lesser extent Christian, Jew becomes really religious rehit wise he usually becomes a good person. But the more religious a Muslim becomes the more hateful of non Muslims he becomes. I don't know why. I've interacted with plenty of Muslims who are nice people. But usually they are always non religious types of Muslims.

Hi,

It is wrong perception. Islam is the largest practiced faith on the planet and Muslims are most practicing people among all religions

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/03/conflict-theology-and-history-make-muslims-more-religious-than-others-experts-say/

So most Muslims are really committed to their faith globally and most Muslims are good, nice people. You mistakenly see "extremist" Muslims as "practicing", which is wrong in my opinion.

Also, in England, Muslims have more problems than say in U.S.A. I don't know why..

Khair anyways, this is my first post...welcome me and ask me anything about Pakistani Punjab, Islam, or how Muslims see Sikhs in our region etc. I'll learn from you guys too Inshallah..

Cheers :biggrin2:
