  • Seems to match up quite well with people’s perceptions of muslims. Muslim countries breed violence.

    >only 25% people in the Western Europe are willing.

    What’s surprising is that the countries with the strongest nation states have the fewest number willing to fight for their country.

    • so those who are not willing to fight for their country must be very strong and peaceful necessarily? what a stupid remark. The West you’re talking about is the same which has disrupted the world’s peace through its long running false flag operations.

    • Yeah I forgot that Fiji and Vietnam comprises of Muslim population . . .

      Your comments are mostly like this, care to state your own religion?

      ‘Seems to match up quite well with people’s perceptions of muslims. Muslim countries breed violence.’

      ^ Yeah, thank you for jogging my memory. It was the Muslims who attacked Iraq, Afghanistan, Oman, Libya, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Niger. You are something else.

      While your so called peaceful nations don’t even bat an eye when it comes to Palestine or Kashmir where the likes of Zionists and Hindus are murdering hundreds of innocent children and teenagers every effing day.

      Yeah, keep spitting hatred here.

  • Good thing about Pakistani :)
    They are ready to fight for their country even though prevailing situation of sectarianism.

    • Its simple to understand
      IMO The more you are materialistic the more you become coward All you care about is your own well being thats it (you care less about friends family and country) . It clearly evident in general.

  • this survey is a ping check or a plus check in Muslim countries about the level of their faith in ALLAH, and as a Muslim we should be prepared for the last battle. always pray ALLAH give us hidayat and strength and right path.

  • Pakistanis 1st & only to fight for “SOME” other particular countries as well. Ummah ki Fauj.. #IYWIM
