dear shri pk, thank you. i am from dehradun and keep shuttling between mumbai and dehradun due to my work.
pk ji, one more request. i hope you are aware that pork is sin for muslims. therfore referring to pakistan (a nation of muslims) as porkistan is again demeaning and insulting to islam (a religion). condemning an individual due to differences or enmity is understandable but bringing disrepute to or insulting one's religion is not expected of civilized people like you. i hope you understand my point of view.
regarding illiterate muslims, their behaviour can be attributed to their illiteracy and ignorance, hence their actions. however it does not warrant an insult to their religion or religious beliefs. i am sure you too would never entertain a similar apathy to your religion by anybody no matter what.
i hope i have made a enlightened friend here in you, today. :-)

You are right to say that ignorant innocent Muslims are being misled. They are being misled by people who call themselves the guardians of Islam. In reality they are spreading beliefs and teachings that are totally contrary to Islam. That is why I said "they are illiterate and ignorant and hence the actions".
These so called guardians of Islam are practioneers of unIslamic activities. These are fanatics who have no understanding of Islam at all. They just want to dominate others and impose their own code of conduct, which is convenient to them and suits their understanding of Islam. Look at Taliban and you will know what I am trying to say. In the process like you said, they are tarnishing the image of Islam.
P k ji, if you want to condemn these so called guardians of Islam, I am with you as I am too against such fanatics. I do not even consider these misleaders of Islam as Muslims at all. Infact, they are not even human beings. But abusing ones%u2019 religion is not called for.
However, for god sake P K ji, pork should not be associated with Pakistan or Muslims. It is insulting to Muslims%u2019 religion. This applies for even those Muslims who are literate and condemn actions of misleaders of Islam.
The only solution is awareness amongst illiterate and ignorant Muslims. However insulting religious beliefs is certainly no solution. My eyes have always been wide open. I live in Dehradun. That is all I can reveal.
