Dear Agnostic Muslim,
Tell that to some people who dont know about the politics of your region, its quite easy to fool members here from western countries who do not understand the indepth the political mess that is your country. PPP, MQM will be considered to the BNP, RSS, KKK by the standards of free countries. None of those parties above support a tolerent society where there is equality of laws and oppertunities for all its people. Lets not even speak about Ahemdiya's, Shia's(not exactly in the same box. but still), Hindu's, Sikhs, Christains of Pakistan. None of them eligable to the heighest office in your country and various other posts. It is still ISLAMIC republic of Pakistan, which stands for intolerence.
