What do y ou think is the right way. one religion or multiple religions. I know this dude (fillipino and indian) who thinks that we all should just follow the religioni we're born into. If that was the case then none of the religions would have grown to the size they are today. We will still be living in pagan times. Anyway as regards to spirtiualism im probably not as advanced as some of you guys. I know people in south asia take their religion more seriously than in any other part of the globe. So what are your thoughts on this issue.

Follow whatever you feel is right and live a peaceful and happy life. I don't think any religions are wrong, nor do I think there is a "right way". Imo, existence is much more complex and simpler than that

Who told you that?

People in Alabama take their religion very seriously. They shouldn't be excluded from this special club.

If the world followed only one religion, one culture, one belief, one philosophy, one lifestyle, etc., then the world would be a monotonous place with very little progress.

And I thought it was Middle Eastern people who were stereotyped as the most religious people?

The Pashtun and Baluchi minorities in Western Pakistan are Middle Eastern. The majority who live in Eastern Pakistan (Punjabis, Sindhis, Kashmiris, etc.) are South Asian.

I've heard Pakistani Punjabis, Sindhis and Kashmiris call themselves Middle-Eastern. icon_redface.gif I asked them why, and they said "Because we're Muslim and not Indian."

They don't mark "Asian" on forms. They mark other. icon_redface.gif

In my community college, Pakistanis would talk non-stop about how hot arab girls were, how they got mistaken for arabs everyday, and how they wished they could marry one.

Um....I think the folks there are rejects. But pakistanis I know don't like them. And i know quite a few, around - 30-40. So, I am going to take the opinion of 30-40 pakistanis over some forum. Besides I live in Mich, this place has got the highest number of arabs.

One of the reasons I guess was becoz arabs think they are better than them and truer muslims - something along those lines and more.

I never inquired further bcoz i am not that concerend with inter-muslim relationships

My friend told me that too about how they're snobby towards South Asian Muslims, but he still rambled on about how Arab girls are goddeses and how he gets mistaken for one all the time.

Pashtuns and Baluchis are both Iranian ethniic groups. Pashtuns are the majority in Afghanistan and a minority in Pakistan, while Baluchis are a minority in both Iran and Pakistan. The Punjabis, Sindhis and Kashmiris are ethnically related to Northwestern Indians.

The physical differences between different ethnic groups in the same geographic location can be a bit blurred due to mixing over the past few centuries but generally, Pashtuns and Baluchis look more like Afghans and Iranians, while Punjabis, Sindhis and Kashmiris look more like Northwestern Indians. There are other smaller tribal groups in Pakistan, some with blonde hair and blue eyes like Europeans, and others with Turkic or Mongol features.

I've never met a Pakistani Punjabi, Sindhi or Kashmiri who considered themselves Middle Eastern, except for a few online. Maybe it's just Pakistani Americans?

Some Arabs have hooked noses and some don't. Arabs are a heterogeneous ethnic group (a majority were Arabicized), hence they have a wide variety of physical features.

You UKer's have the advantage of everybody labeling you under "Asian," so nobody mistakes you for a middle-easterner.

Since a lot of non-South Asians in America think that we're middle-easterners, maybe Pakistani-Americans find it more easier to get away with labeling themselves that.
