Sandtest, I know about it. And it is sad how he was treated by some people and then Pak government. However, that was purely a political thing. Majority of Pakistanis love him and consider him a hero.
You missed my point entirely about quoting Abdus Salam in one of my above posts. We were talking about educated Pakistanis (not educated Muslims) and Abdus Salam is one of them. Despite the community he belonged to, considered non-Muslim in Pakistan, does not change the fact that he was a Pakistani. He died in Oxford and his remains were brought back home. He is buried in Pakistan. He did not renounce his Pakistani citizenship and did not accept citizenship of another country. He carried Pakistan in his heart wherever he went. According to Dr Ishfaq (President, PAEC 1998) Dr Salam was responsible for sending about 500 physicists, mathematicians and scientists from Pakistan, for PhD’s to the best institutions in UK and USA. He wore Pakistani traditional dress at his Nobel Prize ceremony; He was a Pakistani regardless of his faith. And, we own him.
I invite you to read more about Abdus Salam so that you can quote the ‘facts’ in context.
