I remember how I got enraged when I entered my Muslim friend's street and it was full of those small flags. I was too young at that time. As always portrayed by the society and media, Pakistan was always considered to be an enemy.
How the hell can they fly Pakistani flags? Aren’t they secular?
You know half knowledge is damn dangerous and this was the perfect example. I quietly returned home without even visiting my friend. I was terrified that those enemies will kill me, or behead me.
Being asked at home, I told the story that I saw these Pakistani flags:
And my sister started laughing at me. Ah! I was innocent.
Can you see the difference? That white strip and tilt of moon make a huge difference.
Being an Islamic country, Pakistan has a similar National flag to that of the Islamic flag.
Well, time and age changed the things. Now, there is no feeling of hatred. It got replaced with the feeling of sorry for our neighbors!
