You really can't compare the creation of the idea behind the creation of Israel with the partition of India. The partition of India was more similar to the partition of Ireland, in that a Muslim homeland was created in parts of India where Muslims had a majority, like in Ireland, the 6 majority protestant counties of the North remained a part of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland separate. Israel on the other hand was created as a homeland for Jews from all around the world, mostly from Europe, and 80% of Arabs fled the country. The states in which Pakistan was founded were majority Muslim and the reasoning behind it was for the majority Muslim states to be independent of India.
Personally I don't agree that partition of India should have happened and a lot of damage has been caused as a result of it. Millions of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs were displaced and killed during partition and there have been tensions between India and Pakistan since. However, the intentions of Jinnah and the people who wanted Pakistan were honourable. Jinnah was originally for a united India but he later felt that in a united India, Muslims would be marginalised and needed a homeland of their own. Jinnah was not a religious man, was a secularist and some even claim he was an atheist or an agnostic, and his vision of Pakistan was a secular state. Unfortunately, partition has proven to be a disaster.
Just like Jinnah was a secularist, the founders of Israel were almost all secular agnostic\atheoist Jews-Theodore Hertzl etc. Golda Meir when asked if she believed in God replied, "I believe in the Jewish people & the Jewish people believe in God."
Israel, unlike Pakistan still remains significantly secular, with not only transvestites on T.V., but even gay tolerance, gays from the rest of the mid East seek asylum there.
Pakistan was created precisely because they felt a need for a Muslim state for Indian Muslims, just like there was a demand for a Jewish state-it was supposed to be a homeland for
all Muslims from other parts of the sub continent to settle, but non Muslims were ruthlessly kicked out, in far larger numbers than from Israel.At least as many Muslims came to settle in Pak & Bangladesh as Jews came to Israel, Muslims from even the Southernmost states of India went to settle in Pak.
You complain about "Islamophobia" & Geert Wilders in Britain, imagine if all Muslims were suddenly stripped of their homes, property & kicked out by the Brits!
Of course, most Muslims refused to leave their homes in India,& Muslims were settled in all nooks & corners in India, so India had a huge Muslim population.
Pakistan thought it'd manage brilliantly free of the infidel idolaters, as it happens, it was no Israel, it rather is on course to become another Talibanistan.
Islam divides the world into, "Dar ul islam" & "Dar ul Harb"- the latter designation being the House of War which has to be won over.
Its no wonder that people with this mentality don't think twice over demanding separate homelands & kicking millions out, but are enraged should Jewish "apes & pigs" settle on even a tiny piece of their land, then such a land has to be won back at all costs!
Alas, as I said, karma's a bitch!
