So whether present Afghan govt or Taliban led govt, they will always hate Pakistan because they claim your land and you wont give them. Still you aid the Taliban knowing that they hate you and will attack you after their need for you is over. Like you said, complicated indeed.
no, the Taliban are a little different. they dont claim Pakistan's lands. that is why Pakistan has a good relationship with the Taliban and we got them to the negotiating table for US-Taliban peace talks, when India couldnt. their mentality is that they are fed up for decades of war and they just want peace. but an Afghan is never going to be someones slave, and they taught that to the British, then the Soviets, and now the Americans. when the Americans are gone, then there will be peace in Afghanistan, and then the nation state model will apply to them and they can be happy. Pakistan wants peace in Afghanistan badly, but India obviously doesnt.
there is also good feeling still between Taliban and Pakistan. we help them in their diplomatic efforts, and we were one of the only countries to recognise them when they took over Afghanistan after the Soviets were kicked out.

I am not making a fool of myself as I never claimed expertise in Islamic history. I am learning post by post here.
if you ever read about islamic history, then come back to the post where you said muslim scientific accomplishments were nothing after the initial centuries, then you will consider yourself a fool. who do you think was leading the world in the sciences before the Renaissance and even for a few centuries after it? muslims and the scientific thinking we had was later adopted by the europeans when they used to come to our universities to study and our lands to work. especially when Spain and Portugal were under Islamic rule since its on the European mainland and easier for europeans to meet muslims and interact with us. muslim scientists from all over the world contributed, even the Mughal empire.
Carra de Vaux in 'The Philosophers of Islam,' Paris, 1921.
"Finally how can one forget that at the same time the
Mogul Empire of India (1526-1857 C.E.) was giving the world the
Taj Mahal (completed in 1648 C.E.) the architectural beauty of which has never been surpassed, and the
‘Akbar Nameh’ of Abul Fazl: "That extraordinary work full of life ideas and learning where every aspect of life is examined listed and classified, and where progress continually dazzles the eye, is a document of which Oriental civilization may justly be proud. The men whose genius finds its expression in this book were far in advance of their age in the practical art of government, and they were perhaps in advance of it in their speculations about religious philosophy. Those poets those philosophers knew how to deal with the world or matter. They observe, classify, calculate and experiment. All the ideas that occur to them are tested against facts. They express them with eloquence but they also support them with statistics."...the principles of tolerance, justice and humanity which prevailed during the long reign of Akbar."
