Many of them do want to stay. over a million have been given citizenship in last 10 years. What are u talking about?
There's no proof of this at all. No survey has been carried out to determine what they want. But noone wants to be a refugee. That is something everyone can agree on. Therefore, when the war finishes they will want to head back to Afghanistan. I think this comment is apt.
"I would also like to say that Afghans are not ungrateful people. We are greatly appreciative of the countries who have reluctantly extended their helping hands to us. Like many of us here, I hope and pray to God that the misery of the Afghans soon comes to an end so that we can go back to a place that we can really call "HOME!"

As for the million or so refugees that have been granted citizenship, what's your link?
Afghans bring crime, stupid ideas, terrorism etc into Pakistan and talk to any Afghan pashtun and he will give u bullshit about NWFP being part of Afghanistan.
Generalization after generalization. Refugees don't care much about politics, and are happy to be able to have a place like Pakistan to flee the war from. They are fed by the UN, so it's not trouble on Pakistan.
1000's are fighting f4 baitullah.
Baitullah Mehsud is a Pakistani. His tribe are fighting the Pakistani forces. These are not Afghanis. These are Pakistanis. Baitullah's tribe will not allow thousands of Afghanis to overrun the area, as tribal politics will come into play. Therefore, I regard your statement as proveable bullshyt.
My Pashtun freinds in Peshawar are sick of the afghans and want to kick them out because they think all pashtuns want to be united as Afghans and think Pakistani pashtuns r waiting for them with open arms to be "liberated".
This is your story. I can equally tell a story of my Pashtun friends in Peshwar that help feed and clothe the Pashtun refugees in the area.
A freind who is police officer their tells me 80% of the crime is done by afghans in the city because they know this is a foreign country and they don't care what they do to it and how much they steal for it. Afghans r the most ungrateful people on earth.
Alright, great, just don't expect me to take whispering, or what you say as fact. Links are the only way to prove this, and even if true, is one whisper, to which I would just quote the above, as written by a real Afghan refugee.

That's a credible link, where's your credible link, or are they a story of a friend of a friend who relayed me such and such a story. This doesn't have a basis in fact.
And no way Bengalis shud be kicked out. Bengalis are our brothers and brotherly relations are being built between us though slowly.
Alright, Bengalis shouldnt be kicked out, fine. Why do you prefer them over Biharis? I say let the Biharis in, throw out the Bengalis, and it won't make any difference to the demongraphics of Pakistan. No excuse for not doing this.
We should'nt in anyway throw out bengalis who live here alongside us. It would be destruction of the ties being built up. India helped them gain freedom but Bengalis r closer to us. Proves a lot already. They have no hostile intentions for us so we should'nt treat them badly. Biharis have proven their loyalty and will do so again if they r allowed to come here.
Bengalis are not closer to "us" than Indians. Uttar Pradeshite Muslims would be closer to Pakistanis than Bengalis. Indian Punjabi Muslims and Gujeratis would be closer to Pakistanis than Bengalis. There's no excuse for not allowing Biharis in on condition they are exchanged for Bengalis.
