Hypocrisy is a moral issue. It plays into the principle of fairness that even animals have. If that isn’t morality, then almost nothing is.

Also, it is right to call it like it is. Telling the truth as you see it is the right thing to do. Not telling the truth is not right.

I notice you say “It’s right to call it like it is”, and not “It’s right to call it like you see it”.

This is a form of self-delusion. You believe you see an absolute truth, rather than just a perspective.

If you read it the Wikipedia article, you’ll see it mentions hypocrisy as a moral principle in Islam, and other religions.

However it also talks about how it’s a psychological feature of being human.

According to that article, you are a hypocrite, along with everyone else.

That isn’t grounds for a moral foundation.

There is a distinction between hypocrisy and lying.

And, as I have already stated, everyone is a hypocrite from someone else’s point of view.

I see you continue to confirm that you have nothing to offer that can help freedom of religion in Pakistan.

You have never actually claimed that freedom of religion was your goal, and conceded that it wasn’t when I pressed you, but you have criticized me for not caring about it.

That seems like a clear case of hypocrisy to me - criticizing someone else for not caring about something, that you yourself do not care about.
