Kardeshim....

I am from Pakistan. As Turkey is a friend of Pakistan, i want you to know something. Pakistan is not "Islamist state" so i dont know why you put us in same category as Iran and Suddi Arabistan.

We are 165 million people, mostly secular Hanefi Sunnis and Jaffari Shiias, along with Christians (3%)

We are Muslim majority, thanks to Allah. But we are also progressive people. Dont fall victim to media tactics
