  • [It is] one of the fundamental tenets of Islam -- namely, to multiply the tribe.
    • Saeed Naqvi: Reflections of an Indian Muslim (Har-Anand, Delhi 1993), p.32.
  • But wasn't this what Pakistan was supposed to be? After all, it came into being on the basis of the two-nation theory, that Hindus and Muslims were two separate states, that Hindus and Muslims could not live together. That was Pakistan's raison d'ĂȘtre. Supposing by some black magic they converted to another way of thinking... Pakistan would collapse. Therefore one of the planks of Pakistani statecraft was to keep reminding its people and the world at large of that mantra of survival: we are because we cannot live with them.
    • Reflections of an Indian Muslim (1993), quoted from Elst, Koenraad (2014). Decolonizing the Hindu mind: Ideological development of Hindu revivalism. New Delhi: Rupa. p. 350
