Another cookie-cutter article in American news showing Pakistan as some sort of an alien place which has gone off the tracks. If I had a dollar for everyone of these articles...

Jinnah's "secular" quotes are taken so out of context. It's crazy.

Islam promotes tolerance and freedom of religion. Jinnah's "freedom of religion"/"secular" quotes are completely in line with Islamic beliefs. The freedom to practice religion is not alien in Islam. It's promoted. Surah-Al-Kafiroon in the Quran is a prime example of that:

https://quran.com/109

Jinnah constantly called for a "Muslim" democracy.

A must read is Jinnah's last public speech. At the State Bank, where he calls for an "Islamic" banking system:

A must read also is "Secular Jinnah & Pakistan" by Saleena Karim which completely debunks the secular Jinnah picture that some have painted.
