. As you said I am definitely here to understand the way of Pakistanis, but unfortunately, it can no longer include you. You are a religious fundamentalist that supports the Taliban, Loya Jirgas, and God knows what else. I cannot be patient with your views anymore than I can the RSS/Hindutva groups. All religious extremists are the same as far as I am concerned. The Taliban is just the spitting mirror image of the RSS, as a famous Bollywood scriptwriter Javed Akhtar once said.
What are you talking about? Taliban have absolutely no relation to RSS. You have been thoroughly brainwashed, you can ask our Afghan members to educate you on that.
Swinging around labels is dangerous and also dishonest.
I don't really care what Indians think of affairs inside Afghanistan and Pakistan. You can never have a full view of ground realities.
I am a religious Muslim, a student of fiqh, and accomplished in my worldly life as well. I don't see any contradiction in that.
I also don't appreciate being told what to believe and what not to believe by an outsider.
Alhamdulilah, be happy that you are on the other side of the border, if you have a problem with religious Muslims.
If Pakistan and Afghanistan at some future date decide to merge together and create a larger state, that also is no business of India.
Not even a single Pakistani I met so far in real life was a religious fundamentalist. In fact, the ones I run into are usually much less religious compared to even Indian Muslims. But I need to put it on record, I have absolutely no problem with anyone who is religious, and strongly committed to his faith.
Obviously you
do have a problem with religious Muslims. How come Muslims do not have the right to air their views about politics or world affairs, but any Non-Muslim can pass sweeping judgements on us with impunity?
That doesn't change the fact that religious fundamentalism is a mental disease. It doesn't matter whether you're a Christian fundie Bible basher in the USA, an RSS Nazi in India, or a Taliban supporter in Afghanistan, you're all one and the same as far as I am concerned.
Who are you to make this claim?
So if someone follows the fundamentals of Islam, you claim they have an illness? I am a doctor, I have never heard of this illness.
Many more words have been thrown around like Islamist, Political Islam, Fundamentalist, etc. Words which change depending on the usage and the target. Weaponized words to used to stifle Muslims from having a voice.
Well these episodes are a real shame. I recall the disgusting episode during the Afg-Pak cricket match in UK last year where a minority of Afg fans pelted Pakistani fans and their kids with missiles and torn up seats.
Look, I know Afghanistan has been mismanaged by warlords and what not, but there are plenty of honourable folk from Afghanistan who conduct themselves with etiquette and decency. It is very dangerous to generalise, however negative certain experiences have been. There is an existential crisis in the political hallways of Kabul, where those with irreversible vested interests against Pakistanis form one of the rival groups. It is foolish to overinterpret the behaviour of some Afghans without taking this circumstance into account. Propaganda can be undone. Even the brainwashed barbers based in USA can relearn the basic decency that they may have forgotten in their haste to jump on the Pakistan-bashing bandwagon. I think Pakistan must take every possible step to undo the propaganda that exists in Afghanistan against Pakistanis. To neglect this particular front would actually be very foolish and would be a failure. Any "war on terror" is ultimately won in the hearts and minds of civilians, no matter how many terrorists are killed by ISI or PA.
It isn't an issue we can ignore either, as India will take full advantage and already has done in many ways. We took our eye off the Iranian regime and look where that left us.
Afghanistan is going through a period of change. They are maturing as a nation and re-orienting themselves towards Pakistan. You are going to hear many more wonderful things from Afghans in the future.
Those who wish to remain in their own bigoted closet can do so, the future moves forward regardless.
I keep observing this trend, brother, tell me what you think.
Secularism and racism go pretty much hand in hand. In Pakistan, more religious Pakistanis tend to be less racist and more open towards other provinces.
All our racist and exploitative groups in Pakistan have been secular, thibk about it, MQM, PPP, N, ANP, etc.
For Pakistan, religion is a unifier and a common point for all Pakistanis. Without Islam, the fabric of the nation unravels.
In this way we can see the insidious nature of mera jism mera marzi, PTM, liberal media, commie university organizations, saas baho drama,, and tiktok. We are losing our youth to these predators.
