In Pakistan constitution guarantee equal rights for minorities, but same constitution under 18th amendment does not allow any non Muslim to become the prime minister or president of Pakistan.
Many other part of the world play same, e.g. American constitution guarantee non discriminative behavior against her citizens but it’s mostly Muslims who get picked in random search so is in many other part of the world. Islam guarantee equal civil rights to all citizens irrespective of their skin color or religion but we see day in and out across the mid-east where a caucasian get away easily then a brown guest worker.
To answer your question, in theory we claim to attain an ideal society, but on practical level “NO”. Pakistan or some where else, it is not possible to have an ideal society. External events, incidents and our interaction with others shape our behavior which ultimately lead us to act in discriminatory ways, this drive can have any shape or color, can be religious, ethnic or sectarian.
