The concept of a minority does non appear to sit down good inwards Islam in addition to inwards Islamic Republic of Pakistan that was said to receive got been created as a Muslim holy dry reason or Darul Islam. Anyone who is non a Muslim is looked downwards upon as a ‘kafir’ in addition to a de facto inferior citizen. They tin of course of study redeem themselves past times converting to Islam. Alternatively, they tin live enslaved or exiled or killed according to doctrinal law. 

All the sectarian organisations follow this ideology in addition to it is a compassion that the Government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan has meekly surrendered to the extremist demands of these entities. 

The effect is whether the minorities inwards Islamic Republic of Pakistan are safe? They are non in addition to the Government inwards ability is as guilty of acquiescing inwards such ideas in addition to beingness dominated past times such intolerant organisations.
