They disowned their one Nobel laureate and maybe one of the greatest minds of his generation because of his Islam being different from their Islam. That place is a failed nation. Thank fuck for the internet so the people aren’t insulated from the outside world.
- scientism019324 4y agoSame thing happened to James Watson.
- anoonmoose 4y agoIf I'm reading about the correct James Watson, this is not a fair or accurate comparison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Watson#Comments_on_race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Watson#Comments_on_race Edit: the psychology of creating an account to make that particular comment is fascinating to me.
- anthk 4y ago>Latin lover. Ah, yes, the "Latin" skin pigment. From black in the Caribbean, to nordic White/Ginger found in Spain and Chile/Argentina. Very accurate.
- acdha 4y agoNo, it didn't — neither Crick or Watson had any consequences for their speech anywhere near the level of being exiled or facing prosecution. An institution cutting ties after you spend years making racist claims is a disappointing tarnish to your career, but it's nothing like going to jail or potentially facing the execution (Pakistan has the death penalty for blasphemy).
- BeetleB 4y agoAbdul Salam was neither exiled nor did he face prosecution. Let's not get sensationalist. He left Pakistan long before the official moves against Ahmadis, and the reasons for his leaving were mundane: Petty politics at the university in Pakistan.
- acdha 4y agoThe first paragraph of that Wikipedia page says this: > At the very commencement of his accession, he found himself forced into exile from Pakistan in response to pressure from the Government of Pakistan. Is that inaccurate?

- hnews_account_1 4y agoWhat bias? I never even mentioned the other Muslim nations. What concern is it of theirs that Abdus existed? His own land disowning him is to their utter and ever lasting shame. This is of the order of the castration of Turing. The neighbouring nation that Pakistan always fights with would’ve gladly accepted him if he’d wanted to switch.
- nashashmi 4y agoExile is a frequent form of punishment and an alternative to execution. Widespread Condemnation of his group means no single country is alone in his exile. Further his group’s first leader was a supporter of the old colonial power. And they give him a place today. Your bias is supporting him while cursing another country that exiled him.
- hnews_account_1 4y agoThere is no widespread condemnation of ahmaddiyas anywhere outside muslim nations. Whoever the fuck his group's first leader was is irrelevant. They may worship a false prophet, they may worship a stone, they could worship an imaginary alien race. I have a bias against a sick nation that views an entire religion as outcasts. In 2023. It is absurd. No wonder the nation is absolutely dying economically.
- LarryMullins 4y agoWhat is "a follower"? Is that another term for Muslim? Your accusation doesn't make sense to me.
- nashashmi 4y agoThere is a person at the center of controversy and he leads a fringe movement at odds with the rest of mainstream Islam. The poster was a follower of the movement and curses anyone who goes against the leader.
- rocknor 4y agoThe Pakistani government even removed the word "Muslim" from his headstone. Sick backward country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdus_Salam#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdus_Salam#Death
