Thanks Racer Bhai.
The people in Pakistan ONLY THINK they are more Pious and More Religous. I see things the other way around.
Americans By Far, practice Religion to the CLOSEST WAY POSSIBLE, whatever their faith is, whether Christain, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Budhist. I see Muslims become MORE Religious in USA then they were in their own countries. Its simply because the Culture in USA promotes RELIGION and practices the Religion, whatever it may be, the CLOSEST and THE MOST ACCURATE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE PRACTICED. No one is shoving anything down your throats forcefully, you read and research about your own religion here and come to the conclusion that hey RELIGION is Integral part of a human being's life.
It no wonder why AMERICA is making all the progress in this world. God definately has alot of BLESSING on America. Its God's world and God/Allah can bless any nations God Almighty wants to, and PUNISH any nation God wants to, DUE TO THEIR ACTIONS. IT is clearly stated in Quran, Bible, Torah (Jews Book).
Let me eleborate.
The 4 general areas that one notices in a society and what most religions have strong focus on, aside from Worship.
1)Legal System (Also includes governing bodies, etc.)
2)Work Ethics (General Public's conduct, like honesty, work ethics, duties and responsibilities)
3)Cleanliness (Environment, Cities, private houses, your own self)
4)Decency (Talking, Wearing of clothes, General behavior, etc.)
We all know this, but it helps to talk about it more openly. Lets Compare general practice and behaviors in USA versus Pakistan or any other SO CALLED MUSLIM Countries.
USA
1) Strong Legal System: Assures your rights are protected, and they try, as best as possible to defend the rights of the public, regardless of Race, Religion, Nation Origin or the Gender. Yes there are cases when you are discriminated against, even by the judiciary that is very rare
2) General Public's Honesty/Work ethics: Most Americans are honest and will Not Accept to Give Bribe/Rishwat, in any matter, whether business related or private.
3) Cleanliness: The Houses, the streets, the cities are extremely well organized and clean. The cleanliness is the responsibility of all the Citizens. Every citizen makes sure the roads, streets Markets, shopping plazas are kept neat and clean and they do not throw trash out in public.
4) CLOTHING: This is also interesting. There are LAWS in Work Place which FORBID YOU to wear any clothes that are revealing. The Men at most workplaces are required to wear Business Casual, with Collars, Slacks (No jeans, except Fridays.. This is a funny rule), and Ladies must NOT wear Skirts that are higher that are too short. Must be atleast Knee length. Even then, I rarely see 1 in 100 that wears a skirt. Most wear Baggy loose fitting Slacks and loose fitting shirts that HIDE THEIR Body shape.
Let Compare Pakistan Now
1) Legal System: Police, Judges, Lawyers, all are On Sale
2) Honesty/Work ethics (or lack there of): Rishwat/Briberay is the name of the game in every field. You are considered old fashioned and BUDHOO / Stupid, if you refuse to take part in it.
3) Cleanliness: People think its their RIGHT to throw trash on the streets. They call it, its a FREE country. I think they take the word FREE too literally and feel free to trash it, whenever and wherever they wish to practice this FREEDOM. In most other countries you don't have such freedom, but I guess Pakistan is the ONLY FREE country in the world.
4) Clothing. Like I have mentioned before, in the cities, this trend of wearing TISSUE PAPER like think Kameez has become the new Rivaaj/style. Even old Aunties can be seen, wearing these See thru kameez. Probably its due to extreme heat. But STAY in cool place. People lived for centuries in that region wearing Decent Clothes, now all of sudden these Ladies are feeling the heat.
Actually these thin clothing are Not good for health either. The High Heat is loaded with Ultra Violet RAYS, which can cause CANCER. It is best to wear THICK Clothes in Summer, to protect yourself. Thats why the Bedouins in deserts of Africa, both men and women, wear thick clothes. There was a study done on it. It actually KEEPS THEM COOL and Shielded from suns, deadly UV rays. Thin clothing is not necessarily the best option in the sunny areas
