Pakistani Rascism?
By Ahmadkamal Makrani at 24 April, 2010, 10:03 pm
Salam Alaikum, I am a Muslim, revert, several years. I attend a ( mostly ) Pakistani masjid.
As an American Muslim, I have come to love not only Islam, but also Pakistani culture, food, and clothes/fashions.
But I read on the internet, that pakistani’s do not marry american women unless it is for a green card, or the american is uneducated.
Is this true?

It is against Islam. Hiram.
no it is not true, maybe just few people do this.
No, it’s not. I mean obviously some Pakistani’s do use people do get green cards. But that doesn’t mean that all Pakistani’s are like that. Many have pure hearts and will marry you for you–not the green card.
Good luck!
Salam.
Some do this but I wouldn’t label the whole Pakistani population with this. However, it is a trend unfortunatly so be careful.
love for all, hatred for none
Yes its so true. My Pakistani Husband married me, an American woman and we moved to Pakistan. I feel real used. Only shady men will marry you for a green card. See if the guy is willing to live in Pakistan with you then you will know he isn’t using you.
No it is not True
there are good and bad men and women with those intentions of any culture…
Im sure not all pakistanis are like this..
i am a Pakistani and i did married an American women(white)
and i also got the green card and am still living with her
but i would suggest you to make the guy whom you are marrying sign a legal paper work in which it says if he leaves you he will have to fortfit his green card and leave the united states
NOp
not true , not all pakistanies are like that.
U can find racist in every culture not only in pakistanies .
well basically i have lived my entire life with Pakistanis…
but i have not come across a single person which u define…..
Maybe there r few….
But u can’t blame them for the entire Pakistani nation…
Can u??
If yes…then Americans rape more than anyone in this planet!!
But can i say that every single American is a rapist??
That would be racism…
And thats what u r trying to do…….
Sorry if i was a little bit aggressive….
My advice to to you that you should be very careful if you find a Pakistani person to get married to.
I would not label all Pakistanis as such, but unfortunately some (not all) Pakistanis are not trustworthy esp. the men.
Scrutinize him carefully, and pray to Allah to help you find the right Muslim to get married to (may he be Pakistani or not).
Yes We Pakistanis are very strict when it comes to Marrying a White girl ! Anyways i have seen many ppl here getting married to a white girl and they are living a happy life some of them get divorced so thats 50 50 to be honest !
And yes its very painful but thats true Not all and not some just few can marry just to fulfill their evil needs of getting a green card ! That is very shameful But its true !
All i have to say is when getting married do come visit ur Future husbands family and see how they do their living ! Education is must aswell Cause if they are not educated then its a possiblity that he might use u to obtain a green card
anyways Best of Luck !!!
Salam,
Well, i’m from Europe, and married to a wonderful Pakistani man. He did not marry me for a green card, nor am i uneducated. We do plan on living in Pakistan permanently Inshallah soon!
He married me cause he loved and loves me. He treats me like a queen.
I think that what you read on the internet is biased and wrong. More of my (Caucasian) girlfriends are happily married to Pakistani guys…… as far as i know, no one wanted a green card!
I know about 10-15 brothers in my community in the NY-NJ area who are married with white persons.
Well, being a Pakistani, i can tell you that since Pakistan is such a hopeless country, many pplz will do ANYTHING to get here in America. It’s sad but true. But of course you cannot stereotype. Because I know Pakistanis who married girls becuz they love them. I dont know wat u mean by uneducated…got no comment for that.
Also, unfortunately, the parents are very… uptight! like they wont let you marry outside the culture. Speaking from personal experience. But they say it causes too many complications since family is so very important. So, it is very important for them to have a daughter in law who knows the culture. She can learn it but alot of girls wont deal with our difficult family.
yeah.
uneducated??
my dad has a phd
and married my mom ( american doctor)
so uneducated?????
Greedy people are everywhere but you cant label all for this. Millions and millions of muslims are living in Pakistan who are married to Pakistani girl and do not need any green card. A few hundreds or thousands cannot represent my nation or country. They are not Pakistanis, they are opportunists and they could be from any nation and country.
My boyfriend is Pakistani and he is in medical school, he is not exactly the most religious Muslim but he does practise his religion, he prays and fasts. So far so good for us. They do like to be financially secure and thats a good thing I say. I dont mind a man that wants to make money and be successful.
there are good and bad people in every community.
i am a indian revert muslim but i have studied with the pakistanies for years and now i have pakistani relatives.
there are some people who don’t follow Islam properly and they might have such kind of thinking.
I’d advise you sister stay with the pakistanies those who follow Islam and as you are a new muslim try your best to stay away from those who don’t follow Islam.
But over all Pakistanies are wonderful people, I recept them as my brothers and sisters in Islam. Althouh most of them dont pratise Islam in thier lives (may Allah guide them), they will Fast eagrly and pray Trawee in Ramadan as they have been great muslims the whole year.
