Did I offend Pakistan in my answer?

Salam alaikum, brothers and sisters:)

before 5 days i answered this question "Where is Pakistan in the world?

I need an exact location for the country Pakistan!

'Cause, I'm American but I'm going to be a Muslim soon!

So where is Pakistan situated? And what sort of country is this? Whats good in it and whats bad?

Regards: Brian"

my answer was "muslims are living in many countries, so why did you choose Pakistan to live in? o.O

anyway, you could ask this question in ramdan section.......its full of paki muslims:)

http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index;_ylt=%E2%80%A6%...

one of the user here replied "**muslimah** I pray that may Allah (swt) guide you on the right path so that you can learn to respect people and nations. My country is known to the world as Pakistan. Brian, any person who knows how to use the internet also knows through Google search where and what is anything in this world, so do not pose as a troll."

So do you think i have offended you, my beloved paki brothers and sisters?

I was just asking him...that's all

Update:

@ US man.....lol ok I'm so sorry

Update 2:

@ Faith.....noooooo plz...i can't do this!!!!:D

    Most of your answers were very jovial and you answer with lot of genuineness.So that is why your answer has been mistaken,any outsider who doesn't know you well surely take that answer in a inappropriate way.

    **Serious Answer:**

    No because you didn't say anything bad about the country/people.

    You had a clean intention.

    But I think your answer wasn't a true answer because his question was "Where is Pakistan in the world?"

    Nothing about Muslims.

    FYI: Pakistan has some non-muslims there.

    You should have answered something liiike:

    Just northeast of India. see site withmap below

    Wa alaikum a salaam

    In some places the term "Paki" is used as a pejorative.

    It is sort of insulting to imply there are other (read better) places for a Muslim to decide to move to.

    To question why, sounds like you think it an inferior choice.

    Source(s): ADDITION I truly think if you really cared if you offended him you'd go an apologize. Not make a post about it.

    Good and bad things are in every country in this world so be good you will find good.. Islam mean peace attempt peace you will get peace.. "Inna deena indallah e al islam". so always attempt peace.. bad and good is not important for any country so if you are good all things are good if you are bad so all things are bad...

    jk/jk.

    lol it is fine, your answer was not bad. sometimes because of the format the message we give isn't conveyed in the same manner as it would be in real life.

    Walaykum as-salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

    I've been Pakistan like 5 times and it's not all that. Especially in Karachi there's loads of bombings etc.

    If you go, go with a guy. Don't go alone. It's not safe for a woman.

    My fam are from Kashmir, it's the country next door. Try and visit there it's a lot better.

    Who cares? Pakistani is just a piece of land with fake border lines. Where was Pakistan before the 50s?
