Let me clarify. I don't expect them to be officers straight off. They need to work their way up. Why on earth would Pakistan make an Afghan refugee who claims loyalty to Pakistan an officer straight away?
No one said they would be straight off...But my question is simple...Does being an officer after working your way up GUARANTEE that you are for the state? Well, Durrani and others like him, who worked their way up proved this theory wrong! Even politicians / party workers who worked from nothing also managed to loot and plunder this nation...THAT itself isnt a GUARANTEE of any form! So you using it as one is flawed to begin with!
True about others not living to please me...and the same goes for your opinions or standards.
I am with my country...It is doing good to award citizenship to those who have been on my land since they opened their eyes! It gives them a sense of belonging a reason not to hate...If they still hate, we can always throw them in the same pile as those Pakistanis who were born as citizens and managed to screw this country despite claiming openly they love it?!
The non Muslims of Old who paid taxes were hardly equal citizens with the Muslims were they? NO!
They were equal citizens...Are you saying Islam preached inequality?
If Pakistan gives Afghan refugees citizenship, they would be equal legally. Perhaps to make it more accurate with your example, perhaps the refugees are given something that allows them to work legally and pay taxes but limits them from influencing state policy like not allowed to vote or take influential positions??
That could be one way but then that is not treating them equally and the idea of 3rd class citizens comes to mind like how the 1st generation Pakistanis felt in UK!
Also do you remember how certain Jewish tribes were dealt with by the State of Yathrib when SOME of them betrayed the State?
YES, that was WHEN THEY BETRAYED
AFTER THE TREATY not before...Even the Prophet despite knowing what they were (since he was in direct contact with ALLAH) made a peace treaty...because he didnt want future people to think that they should INVADE/ PUNISH right away without giving them a chance...
Hazrat Bilal proved his loyalty to the cause.(May Allah be pleased with him).
Afghan refugees need to prove theirs. (And in this cause the cause is Pakistan).
Not only Hazrat Bilal many proved their loyalty to the cause many were killed....MANY were roasted in the sun not just Hazrat Bilal! Neither were all Africans automatically praised due to Hazrat Bilal nor were every Mekkan Arabs cursed because of Abu Lahab and his like! So attacking/ insulting/ generalizing/ collective assumption/ collective punishment is more of Israel's game not Muslims!
Pakistan needs to look after her own.
It would be better that Pakistan help Afghanistan in repatriating these refugees and getting established rather than giving them citizenship.
I just suggested that in the post you quoted
To invest on their land and push them back instead of investing in taking them in!
I understand it is difficult for the refugees but I am looking at it from a Pakistani national perspective. You can call this skin headed bigotry, hate or whatever insult you want. I call this love. Love for Pakistan's interests.
A father loves his children and looks out for their interests. This does not mean he hates other people's children.
Yes but a father who spites venom against other people's children when his own cant prove right either is not exactly a father worth giving example of!
All I am saying they are as human as Durani our former ISI head and as human as Nawaz Shariff or as human as Altaf Hussain each of who was born, raised and a Pakistani citizen without needing to prove it yet they didnt do us any good! So such children of yours also exist, gives you no right to doubt other people's children!
Pakistani traitors ought to have a date with the Rope! Including generals or politicians.
That I agree but as we see our courts playing with us...Judges who are Pakistani citizens playing with our laws and doing no good to the country are ample examples of BS happening by our own "Pakistan loving citizens"!!
