What Pakistan Needs? Better Pakistanis or Better Muslims?

A discussion was going on on Geo TV Pakistan today on the topic "What Pakistan Needs? Better Pakistanis or Better Mulsims?".
Here is my answer to the question:

Pakistan needs better human beings. All Muslims, if truly so, are better human beings, hence, better Pakistanis.

as far as my observation and study on pakistan, human beings and Islam is concerned, I think to initiate a change, a better one, we dont need to hold processions, we dont need to indulge in raising foreign imported slogans of Liberalism, Moderation, Democracy, free media etc. these things may be good but every where i see all these things as a cause of chaos and tools of keeping human beings blind from the real and reccomended ways of saving humanity and being a part of welfare. All we have to do is JUST fight our ownselves i.e. JIHAD BIL NAFS. Do anyone evr thought why fighting your own desires (wrong ones) and your ownslef is being graded higher than fighting the enemy (non-believers) in the battle field. Its a hidden philosophy of Quran, which can be understood only when you dont take Quranic teachings for Granted and follow them. So I want to conclude that you just have to fight your wrong desires and stand firm in all the tests and say no to the deceptions of this mortal world. once you change yourself, things around you will change automatically. Its a tough journey but the only way to success. Thanks

If we are muslims in true scence than we would be true Pakistani & only true Pakistanis can build true nation. Pakistan established on the basis of Islam so first of all we have to be true Muslim.
