Where to talk to Pakistani people?

[BLACKEAGLE]

Well, I know that I could talk to Pakistani people on here, but here is a defense forum and people are well-informed. This forum attracts a special group of Pakistanis who are well-informed about world politics, military affairs and international issues. I like to talk to some ordinary Pakistanis to see how they live, what are their cultural norms, what they think about Iran, etc... Where could I find ordinary Pakistanis on the internet?

The sad thing is that Iranians think we hate them, but in reality we don't. I know that sometimes things get slipped out but it's merely out of anger. We feel that iranian regime is hijacking his people to the unknown by his external policy.
Iranian brothers, you get to understand that we got hurt and still by your regime. I hope we get out of this by God's help or a mracle. All regards to all Iranians and we hope to get though this soon. I am really sorry for this dark days...

My friend, I wasn't talking about Arabs on this thread. I have met some very warm blooded Arabs in my life that don't have problems with Iranians. and there are many Iranians who don't dislike Arabs. There are even some very pro-Iran Arabs living in countries like Lebanon, Iraq, east of Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Morocco and elsewhere, but that's not the case here. I'm interested to know more about Pakistan. If you want my opinion about Arabs, only few Arabic countries see Iran as enemy, those are the ones that have become westernized or have sectarian issues with Iran. Excluding some Persian Gulf Arab states and some westernized Arabic countries like Jordan, I think the majority of Arabs don't think of Iranians as enemy. Arabs in Morocco, Tunisia, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon and other Arabic countries are more liberal and cosmopolitan than Saudis or Qataris for example. Just my personal opinion.

Your opinion is welcome, If you meant by Iran it's people then your partially right, but if you meant it's regime, then I don't think so. Arabs in Algeria, Egypt...etc was looking to Iranian regime as a savior before 2003 but this view was changed dramatically after Iraq invasion in 2003 and more after Bahrain events and even more after Syrian revolution.

I know Arash, he's one of my favorite Iranian singer abroad but I haven't heard of Mehdi Asadi.

Well, I disagree that Bahrain events changed the opinion of many Arabs about Iran, but I think Syrian events had a major impact on Arab opinions about Iran. Syrian events will continue to distance Arabs from Iran in the future months I think. Again, I disagree about the Iraqi invasion in 2003. Iran was one of the first countries that condemned the USA for the attack and even after the attack Iran restored all good ties with Iraq and today Iraq and Iran are enjoying brotherly ties.
Well, as you know, opinions regarding the Iranian regime is extremely radical. Some people love them and some people detest them. In Lebanon, as an example, only some Christians and some radical Sunnis hate the Iranian government, because they are afraid of sectarian wars and Hizbullah (A shi3a entity) gaining power in there, but others appreciate Iran's support and financial helps especially after the 2006 war. In many other Arab countries, excluding the Syrian events, Arabs believe that Iran's stance against the west is correct.
We could discuss that in another thread pal.

I thought he would be really popular; his songs are really good:

Although I'll admit that he dances weird


EDIT: Sorry, I think YouTube is censored in Iran. Try this link:

His songs are OK I think. Maybe he's popular, I don't know you know, in Iranian you see new singers growing like mushrooms, there are many new ones that I don't know.

my favorite Persians singers are Googoosh and Darisuh. From Rappers, I like Yas. There are many other singers too, but these ones are special in my opinion.

Btw theres quite a number of Iranians living in Pakistan. Many of them came after the revolution and some came due to religion (they are Baha'i's)

In fact theres this dance crew in Islamabad thats pretty well known and all the members are Iranian!

Karachi has dozens of a very peculiar type of restaurants...called "Irani hotels" ..
these were built in 70s by people immigrating from Iran..
Likewise many Wealthy Pakistani shias prefered to go to Iran and marry there..because Iranian girlsare beautiful,no doubt...
So we have a sizezble population of Pak-iran mixed blood..
One of the most famous example was Benazir Bhutto...her mom was Iranian.

Actually, isn't Gillani (PM of Pakistan) also of Iranian descent? That's what Wikipedia says, at least.
