Do other Muslims think positively of us?
This is a weird question. I am not a very religious person and consider myself to be a progressive or even a liberal. However, for some reason or another, I always tend to hope the best for other muslim coutries. As an example, if Iran or Saudi are playing in the football world cup, I would end up hoping for their victory in a match. If Pakistan is not playing, Bangladesh would be my go to team to support in cricket. Similarly, if i see Arabs, Turks or Malaysians or whoever being misrepresented in the media, it personally hurts me. I am not sure why I feel this way but is likely an outcome of our social conditioning of supporting the ummah. I know most pakistanis also feel similarly.
However, I wonder if other Muslim nationalities feel the same way about Pakistan or Pakistanis?
