Re: Another attempt at NWFP name change..
I admit I have a personal problem with organized religion. Thats my problem with all of Pakistan not just NWFP, because they try to be TOOOO religous. I want a secualr country pure and simple.
But the NWFP is the worst part of Pakistan as far as religion is concerned. The Pasthuns go over board in their religous zeal. Its just to MUCH Islam even by Pakistani standards. When you have an entire region bordering on becoming another Taliban state, then obviously people will have a problem.
And I dont know what you mean by Punjabis arent Islamic enough. Punjabis are more Islamic then they should be. I think this is you Pashtun bias talking here, I mean, by Pashtun standards no one is Islamic unless they turn themeslves into Taliban style Mullahs. But I think this is a cultural factor at play. Might have something to do with the role of Tribal society in Afghanistan and NWFP etc.
There are Parts of Sindh and Punjab and Balochistan that are bad, but these areas are still under the control of the Govt. These areas are not used as havens by foreign terrorists, or by drug smugglers, or car theives, or the many other unsavoury things that go on in FATA under everyones nose with impunity. Why is it that it is the FATA areas that have gotten so much attention from everyone in the war on terror while the rest of Pakistan hasnt? Its because these are the places where all the terrorists go to hide. I know where Osamam and Mulla Omar are.. The are in FATA!
And honor is great, but you dont have to murder all your enemies or precieved enemies to gain honor. How many people did your prophet spare when he returned to Mecca, even though they were all his enemies, was he not honorable? Pashtuns have hisotry of shooting first and asking questions second, Thats why they have a bad rep. Its not about being a Pussy, its about choosing other options besides murder. Read the Biography of Pushtoons like Ghafar Khan who said that Pashtuns were destroying themselvs by their infighting, trying to defend their honor. Was he not honorable when he choose NOT to fight the British?
As for Bhangra, we have a culture. Im sorry if culture in Pashtun society is considered a sin. By the way, your culture, whatever is left of it, isnt exactly something everyone wants to be apart of either. Buskashi! Its just a dead goat for christ sake!
By the way, statements like that dont help you either, just makes you look worse. You just seems like a racist Pashtun bigot. Typical trait?
And Pashtuns may be friendly but that still doesnt mean they dont have a bad reputation. Its your own fault. I met Pashtuns who said we are superior beczuse we are white and you arent, what am I supposed to think? Fact of the matter is, you guys have a bad reputation and there is nothing you can do to change that.
By the way, I never needed to tell any Pahthun what I thought of them to their face because most that I know are rude butt holes who bad mouth Punjabis and Pakistan for no reason. You on the other hand:rolleyes:
And trust me, I would have no problem telling you what I think to your face, you may be Pasthun but dont think im afraid of you in any ways…

Who said anything about me being Pukhtoon? I’m partially of Pukhtoon descent, have a Pukhtoon surname, like their lifestyle and will be marrying a Pukhtoon but I don’t speak Pukhtu.
