Maybe the commenter edited his comment, but as it is now, it doesn't mention or imply that Pakistan is uncivilized (which wouldn't be hate speech, anyway).

People regularly say damn near the same thing the GP said (that the "civilized world" or something along those lines should reduce or cut ties with) but they say it about a country of ~320 million people or (more rarely because we don't discuss it as much here) a country of ~1.4 billion.

If that flies so should this.
