ASSIGNMENT #4


What countries do you share your religion with? List them. 
Islam: Iran, India, France, Russia, England, U.S.A.

Christianity: U.S.A., England, France, Russia.

Hindu: India

Does your country object to any, all, or some of the other religions (other countries) in the sim? Briefly explain. 
The Pakistani government is secular and chooses not to involve religion in its governmental affairs. 

 To what extent does religion play a part in your country’s culture? What role does SHARIA play in your country?
Pakistan is 95% Muslim. Although the government is a secular, federal republic, no law can be passed that contradicts Islam. The Taliban, whose main purpose is to impose sharia on everyone they can, have recently made deeper moves into the North Western Border Frontier. Most of the citizens are moderate in their beliefs. However, some believe that allowing sharia in certain provinces would bring peace. A peace deal between the Taliban and the Government that allowed the Taliban’s imposition of Sharia in the North Western Frontier Province (in exchange for a promise to lay down their arms) failed terribly, because of the Taliban’s violation of the pact by expanding their sharia into other provinces.

 Does your country believe in the separation of religion and state? Briefly explain. 
Yes, the Pakistani government is secular and does not involve religion in its affairs
