This is a manifestation of the old adage: Islam must dominate and not be dominated.
“Pakistan parliament blocks bill allowing non-Muslims to become country’s PM, President,” PTI, October 4, 2019:
Islamabad, Oct 4: Pakistan’s parliament has blocked a bill seeking an amendment in the Constitution to allow non-Muslims to become Prime Minister and President of the country.
Dr Naveed Aamir Jeeva, a Christian lawmaker from the Pakistan Peoples Party, wanted to move a bill on Wednesday to amend article 41 and 91 of the Constitution to allow non-Muslims to become Prime Minister and President of Pakistan.
However, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad opposed the proposed legislation. The minister said that Pakistan is an Islamic Republic where only a Muslim can become the President and Prime Minister….
Goofy says
Pakistan is an Islamic Republic, and that is sufficient reason to treat Christians as second class citizens! In international diplomacy we have a well proven principle which is called reciprocity. I suggest that all European nations are named Christian to the effect that Muslims are made ineligible for higher office.
CogitoErgoSum says
I would make it ineligible for them to become citizens in the first place.

Not just Christians are treated as second class citizens, but also Hindus, Sikhs, and even Ahmadi Muslims.
No Muzzies Here says
One can easily get the impression that Islam is a political movement that hides behind the facade of a religion.
Tom says
“When Muslims are in the minority, they are all about human rights. When Muslims are the majority, there are No human rights.”
Pakistan’s parliament once again proves that to be so.

Spot on.
Infidel says
What exactly was Dr Naveed Aamir Jeeva smoking? Does anybody seriously think that any non-Muslim will ever emerge to a position of power in Pakistan?
The ONLY reason Pakistan exists is Islam! Just like East Germany and North Korea existed/exist for Communism, similarly, the only reason for Pakistan’s existence is as an Islamic state. Take that away, and even though India won’t be interested in annexing them, they’d lose any reason for existing as a separate entity
Instead, all non-Muslims who live in Pakistan ought to be looking at ways to hightail it out of that country, and leave it to Muslims to decide whether to sell out to China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Iran
Angemon says
Not that this has anything to do with islam, and anyone who doesn’t believe that any Pakistani taken out of Pakistan and placed elsewhere will drop his beliefs and culture to fully embrace those of their host nation is a bigoted islamophobe… /sarc. off

So according to Imran Khan, they may discriminate against the dirty kufaar.

……………………..
Pakistan does not even treat non-Muslims as human, so this should certainly not surprise.

Is that RACIST?
