I am a Pakistani American, and the first neighborhood we moved to, when immigrating to U.S. in 1990, was Jewish Neighborhood of Kew Gardens in Queens, NY. I really miss that neighborhood. Brother, I have high regard for Jewish people here in USA, and this is the beauty of America, it is perhaps the only county in the Whole World, which gives us all the liberty and freedom to practice our own religion, so long as as we also abide by and respect the local laws and constitution of the United States. I was about 12 years of age, when moving to U.S. and after moving here, I made friends with Jews from US, as well as Israel and Kazakstan, and other former Russian republics, of course also have a ton of Christians, and many Hindus, Sikhs and Budhists, friends and coworkers. Only in America, this sort of pluralism and intermixing is possible, in such a vast array of human cultures, living side by side. Yes, there are some issues, and again here in U.S. there are also solutions, and truth comes out. Discrimination and hatred also does exists, as it does everywhere else in this World, but again U.S. people try to stop and think, and try to figure out a better way, to tolerate and learn to live with one another, and vast majority of American people are very tolerant and really don't care, who their neighbor are, as long as we all respect the laws of the land, and respect one another.

Truth is we have sympathy for Palestinians but at end of the day looking at our own bloody history since inception same time as Israel we are actually not great at treating certain minorities in our own country too or other Muslims like the Bangladesh genocide which we have to be honest was a huge mistake. We’ve killed more than them and Muslims too.

Pakistanis in England still retain their Pakistani culture moreso than American Pakistanis because we don't learn Urdu as a 2nd language, we learn our parent's and grandparents' language as a 2nd language and Urdu maybe as a 3rd.

[@hamzasyed]

I think people don't realize how diverse Pakistan is, and that lends itself to how successful Pakistanis are in integrating into all cultures! From a racial and ethnic perspective, Pakistan has people from across South Asia as well as people whose features are European or Chinese or Central Asian or African, and they have all been living on that land for centuries. And geographically, Pakistan has everything from the world's highest peaks to beautiful beaches, forests, deserts and canyons. Pakistan also has places of historic religious significance to not just Muslims but also Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists as well as of course the Christian influences which came from British colonization. We have so much diversity because we are at the edge of so many distinct civilizations, including India, China, Russia, Persia, Turkic and Arab. Hopefully we are able to achieve greater security and prosperity because Pakistan has so much potential.

I do not think the established Jewish community would like a Pakistani enclave .They did not want a Pakistani/Muslim community.

@@DaEagle9 in britain, the Pakistanis run the block. From music to sports. In America, its all white or black guys. No hispanic, iraqi, persian, no other guys are noticed.

Nothing but Love & Respect for You All my dear Pakistani American Communities.

It’s hard to care about a community when you know they don’t give a shit about yours. When’s the last time any of these guys were outraged over stop and frisk affecting blacks? How many of those same taxi drivers would drive past a black person?

[@Umbro015]

I'm sorry about the hurt you have about not feeling supported. Please know that there are people out there who try to support the Black community the best they can. As a former salesperson, my boss told me that I don't need to really help "them" because "they'll" buy anything with the lots of money "they" have (insert horrible stereotype here). Well of course I didn't listen to his snide racist remarks and gave my customer, who was looking for a present for his sister, the best customer service ever. I think he kind of looked surprised, but I make it my mission to give people hope that there are people in the world who care and value communities such as yours and all other oppressed people. God bless ❤ Btw, my heritage is Pakistani

[@eddyjawed4871]

Here in UK we get along and strongly support Black community sharing their issues with racism in solidarity. I don’t think the majority of us neglect your issues so you must have seen isolated examples

Why are the streets so dirty ?

[@aspectkhan1879]

i think its better then indian streets

[@humzanafees9348]

Because there are Hindus who live there as well and they mess the streets up every time bro

[@prashanthalex7702]

@@humzanafees9348 Hindus have a better reputation than you people and thats why most CEOs are Hindus and no one burns the quran and no hindus cross the border illegally or involve in crimes. The rate of ur prisioners in those countries are much much much higher than Hindus

Pakistani government STOP the persecution of Ahmadis Muslims!

[@scottishbanjo]

Quite amazing to hear that 75% of pakistani immigration occurred in the 1990s and early 2000s . In the UK mass immigration happened in the 1960s so the community is now on its 3rd and 4th generations . In fact the First Minister of Scotland is of Pakistani heritage , as is the main opposition party leader and the Mayor of London

[@edmonddantes5104]

it is pointless to fly a British Jack or the Monarchal coat of arms , they should retire and stop being english or quit

Salaam Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?
