Why don Muslims just call themselves Pakistanis, like Hindus usually call themselves Indian, etc.?

We all have multiple identities that describe the different ways that we each see ourselves – our religion, our ethnicity, our nationality, and our culture. For many Muslims, their ethnic identity is not as important as their religious identity; so many prefer to call themselves Muslims or British Muslims. Islam is a universal religion, separate from national identities and cultures. It was revealed for the whole of humankind. God states in the Quran, “Truly, this is no less than a message to (all) the worlds”. So even in Birmingham there are Muslims who migrated not only from Pakistan, but many other parts of the world, e.g. Bangladesh, Yemen, Iraq, Bosnia, Somalia, etc.
