Pakistan: We are a Crowd, not a Nation, not an Ummat …!

Recently Critic Magazine conducted a survey to prove or disprove a hypothesis that “There is a difference of opinion among the masses about the top 5 problems, i.e. every other person focus on different agendas thus there is no channelized effort toward any single issue”
After receiving replies we complied the data (shown below), which depicts that every person had a different opinion about the problems, there is some agreement on the issues but the ranking given to that issue differed greatly, some agree on macro level, but disagree on details. The data made us think that we are infact a gigantic crowd living at the same geographical location called Pakistan, we are not connected by any means.
From this analysis we would like to build another hypothesis that as a whole, our disintegrated minds and souls are infact our biggest weakness / problem … we just can’t unite, simply because, in religious terms, our qibla is unique to others … we prioritize as per our own ideals, needs and wants and analyze the world in the same context … In other words for each individual the problem are those elements of society which stand against his own needs or ideals, thus his conclusions stands contrast of others accordingly…
Would you agree? please give us your feedback at editor@criticmagazine.pk or omar.javaid@criticmagazine.pk

I dont think so we r a nation.We become nation at crises.First time we become nation in 1947 n the sacrificez of people r not hidden frm any one.Than during wars of 1965 n 1970 world has seen us as nation.Nuclear tests r the demand of whole nation not a bunch of people during the earthquake we became one unit n inshallah in every major crises we stand as nation. N diffrence of thoughts about different matter doesnt mean we r not united it means we hv a concern about different issues n it simply helps in resolving them.(zohaib)

There is not a single shread of doubt in the fact that we are a nation based on the common kalma.....What settled is that we all are untied against the zionist-american-indian funded tehreek-i-taliban...Rot in hell tehreekis.
