These nations were certainly not founded on secular principles. Jews migrated to Israel and Muslims to Pakistan, not Christians or Hindus. I was only trying to point out that religion, whilst it was a factor, was not the the *only one in Israel's birth; whilst it was in Pakistan's. Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan, was not a deeply religious man at all. He, in fact, wanted to create a modern democratic state, but, his plans were rapidly undone by ill health and the politics of religon. Ethnic migrations are a complex, messy business with tremendous unhappiness for both the migrant population and the dislocated locals.
