I bet you yourself are from Nangarhaar as well, Afghans can't see unity amongst the various Pakistani ethnic groups.
Islam is a big part of my identity, and the identity of the majority of Pashtuns and Pakistanis.
If you spilt any blood in the name of Islam then that's your own stupidity and the fault of the goverments which manipulated you. Not my fault or the fault of Pakistani/Punjabi civillians.
The problem is not with Islam. The problem is with YOU and YOUR violent nature. Islam doesn't condone the shedding of innocent blood (Muslim or Kafir) but cavemen like you will do it in the name of Islam because it's in your barbaric nature, similarly when Islam preaches something beautiful like universal brotherhood and racial equality you don't want to hear it because it's against your racist nature.
There's a world outside your little clique, we're not living in your remote mountain village.
Inter ethnic/racial marriages are quite common in the modern world, your children or your grandchildren will probably marry non-Pashtuns (insha Allah) and if you try forcing them to marry only Pashtuns, not all of them will submit to your will and probably elope.
I know that in our culture lineage is traced through the paternal side, I have my fathers family name/lineage but ethnicity to me is just about language so I like to alternate between ethnicities: Pashtun, Punjabi, English (for the country I'm born in and live in).
Why is it neccesary to only have one identity? You are so BACKWARD and narrow minded.
If you were a bit open minded you'd be a happer person, people like you take unimportant things too seriously and it shows on your faces, you are the most murdah-dil, insecure people ever.
What great thing will be achieved if I solely identify as Pashtun? Will I be guranteed a place in Heaven? People like you are jokers. I like my Pashtun family but I'm not going to feel closer to a random Pashtun on the street over my Punjabi cousins, the latter is my blood.
Today ethnicity is just about the language we speak as mother-tongue, I love Punjabi and Pashto but I don't think we should be all crazy about them like they are a religion, they're just a form of communication, it's all going to get left behind, Islam will go with you to the grave not Pashto or Punjabi.
oh confused, u have actually made me cry.. In this post u hav shown ur mentality tht how low u think abt pashtuns . U hav call us stupid, barbaric, cavemen, backward.. For god sake call urself punjabi bt not pashtun. We pashtuns dont want confused like u ,feel free to call urself punjabi, pakistani or muslim bt dont try to adhere wid us.
