Pakistan as a country is not a credible part of Arab lands, it is more a sub continent along with India a Hindu land (Sindh, Mohanjodaro Harappan Civillization)
As it was a conduit for Mongols and Afghans to invade India, it was on their root maps and logistics. It got identified by the arabs only after the Brits earmarked it as a Muslim country to satisfy Md. Ali Jinnah who in turn vouchsafed for the welfare of Hindu Pakis.
It is religion that attracts concern of Arabs for the Islamic nation Pakistan, not the topographic location.
The Malaysian, Indonesian Muslims have retained their individual ethnicity and worked towards affluence.
Whereas Pakistan has to please the Islamic countries because of it's psychological distance with asian countries and proximity with the Arab countries.
A samjautha will definitly build two good neighbours towards happier days.......But understanding the intricacies of Religion and Humanity makes a gigantic difference !
