Pakistan is like a big version of Lebanon in that it's not really one country, it's at least two countries, one of which is a virulent stinkhole of Islamic murderers.
Right.
I'd argue that Pakistan never really made the transition from the imagination of Mohammad Jinnah to real world nationhood. It remains not much more than a neighborhood.
Pakistan still defines itself as the Muslim non-India. This could never possibly be a base broad enough and compelling enough to build a nation on.
Individual Pakistanis more often than not self-identify as Punjabi, Baloch, Sindhi, Pathan or Mohajir. Across these linguistic/tribal divides run religious divides among Sunni, Shia, and Ismaili and minority religions such as Parsi, Christian, Hindu and Sikh. To say nothing of the minute sectarian differences among various Muslim sub-sects, which often seem to become the most bitter and violent divides of all.
Pakistan is violent, unstable and dangerous. It is potentially a far more problematic place than Lebanon by virtue of its size and strategic location.
When I lived there back in the eighties, Karachi had the higest incidence of urban violence in the world. It has now lost that title to Bagdhad, but it has the potential to regain the title over time if things really fall apart.
