Pronunciation of "Pakistan"

Obama's pronunciation of Pakistan, using long "A"s, is not just the pronunciation used by "muslims from that part of the world." It's the correct pronunciation of the name and is also used by the British and Indians, the vast majority of whom are non-muslims who hate Pakistan because it's a corrupt fascist dump. By pronouncing it this way Obama is in fact finally getting something right.

If a Brit pronounced Arkansas "Ar-kan-saw" instead of "Ar-kan-sass" his fellow Brits wouldn't accuse him of having an American background; they'd just recognise that he wasn't an idiot who pronounces things wrong. --HarryPagett 21:07, 15 December 2011 (EST)

ASchlafly thinks that Obama uses a Muslim pronunciation of the word. End of argument. ScottDG 21:09, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Then ASchlafly is not in possession of all the facts and I'll be happy to explain it to him. Obama is not using a MUSLIM proninciation because there's no such thing. --HarryPagett 21:10, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Convince him, and then make the change to this article. ScottDG 21:11, 15 December 2011 (EST)
