I don't think its befitting for a Jr member of think-tank to be part of this kind of post.
Also its far different when a member of a race condemns his own race as I have done with Muhajirs and our support to MQM numerous times, particularly Altaf's speech which is treason. But even I haven't ventured far in condemning Pashtuns, my adopted race because there is always the impression that an outsider is condemning someone else which a bigot can use very effectively for propaganda means. Even though I can pass off as a Pashtun if I want.
In short Safriz, leave the comments about Pashtuns to Pashtuns, especially if these comments have a racist touch to them and take a broader perspective and think about Pakistan and don't become a part of the ethnic issue in our country which already is a huge problem.
I usually post this when someone posts stuff that is problematic. Its part of a poem by Pashtun poet Rehman Baba translated to English:
Sow flowers so your surroundings become a garden
Don't sow thorns; for they will prick your feet
If you shoot arrows at others,
Know that the same arrow will come back to hit you.
Don't dig a well in another's path,
In case you come to the wells edge
Its our job to win Pashtuns that are alienated over, not exacerbate ethnic tensions. Luffy takes offense at even a slight insult. You can't say anything even about Afghans because thats where the chest-thumping starts.
@
Oscar, @
MastanKhan I support Luffy on this one. Maybe he is a hopeless racist but lets make sure we don't turn another into one. I would like PDF stepping up its efforts on stopping posts that have the capability to start an ethnic war on this forum and Safriz, a think tank member making comments like these is not helping... give him a briefing about the ethnic issue or something...
