ABSTRACT
Of interest today are the 'threats' that have arisen in the United States and Ireland and these countries' negative relationships with Pakistan and Islam. Recognising the heterogeneity of Pakistanis in both countries seems the ideal route to understanding their predicaments and offering solutions to what the author called Pakphobia: the fear of or aversion to Pakistanis or Pakistan. Religious pluralism and interculturalism are political tools to strengthen the civil societies of the United States, Ireland, and Pakistan. 'Deuce' can be the first step towards fostering religious pluralism and interculturalism in the United States, Ireland, and Pakistan. A pluralist America – one that is diverse yet still unified around egalitarian ideals – could well serve as a model for future generations of Americans. The United States, Ireland, and Pakistan are all at a turning point.
