FATA delegation in USA

Okay, I must have misunderstood your post.

I thought you were referring to that FATA delegation as beggars.

That delegation consisted of the individual representatives of the FATA region & not any existing political leaders. I watched them talking on some new channel today. I was also disturbed by the way the anchor spoke with them........... it seemed extremely insulting & beyond limits. I have not seen people talk to their pets like that & this was a pakistani tv anchor interviewing 3 men from this delegation who remained amazingly patient & polite till the end while answering his questions asked with increasingly rude behavior.

If i invited someone how on earth i will Humiliate/insulte him.

Re: FATA delegation in USA

If they have invited you to their home in the FATA area, they will go into their home with their guns and have no problem with you walking in with yours. In the culture of the area if you are invited into their home that means they trust you.

So no they won't scan you or strip search you.

In the case of burqa, they might. ;)

Is that why you had to throw in the term 'globalization'?

Nope, Americans are doing THEIR own job which they should've done after Russia left Afghanistan and with that they have messed whole region by their incompetence.

"Our will"? Large/majority of Pakistanis is behind this operation unless you think Jamate-Islami represents majority.

So he has to say everything in one post what you want to hear?

Again, Americans are ONLY doing their own job and killing ONLY those they think are their enemies, not "Pakistan's enemies".

Which Pakistanis are you confused with?

Re: FATA delegation in USA

You folks think a pat-down is less invasive than a body scan? Yikes. I once went through a pat-down in Istanbul Airport just to get into the transit lounge while the plane refueled. These Amazons gave my private parts quite a massage at lightning speed and I tumbled out of the curtained booth in shock, and turned around to see the same shocked expression on the face of the next woman who tumbled out of the booth. That was invasive!

Frankly, I would be very surprised if some bored security guard is really going to get any jollies from a 3 second glimpse of my spleen, after hour upon hour, day after day of gazing at the computer screen. I'm not going to like it, if I ever have to go through it, but it can't be considered any more humiliating than getting felt up!

Re: FATA delegation in USA

Thank you.

A group of uneducated tribals having more ghariet than the entire Pakistani political establishment. Remember, no one is going to respect you if you don't respect yourself.

It's no wonder that brand Pakistan is so tarnished right now.

Off topic.

As political representatives of a sovereign nation they should not have been treated like potential terrorists.

Re: FATA delegation in USA

What "sovereign nation"? Everyone is treated like potential terrorists, and yes, Muslims more than anyone else, and South Asian Muslims more than anyone else, and why is anyone surprised by this?

You know in our dear country some of the big Khans and chaudries can railroad through PIA security check lines.

Poor thangs want to get the same VVVVVIP treatment in other countries as well. Unfortunately they couldn't railroad through American airports. And ended up making a big tamasha in America and even bigger drama in Pakistan.

Pathetic it is. If you ask.

Re: FATA delegation in USA

Yeah nobody asked you Posh spice. They are entitled to special treatment as an official delegation. Next time the US Ambassador should be stripped search I say and I wonder if what Posh spice will say then.

Sorry, but every American has to go through these scanners, including members of the US Congress. Representative John D. Dingell was strip searched at the airport & he is one of the most powerful member of the Congress.

BTW, there is no VIP culture in this country something our members of Parliament and govt are so used to.

Rep. Dingell is Strip Searched at an Airport

Sorry but you need to learn about international diplomacy and protocols, what is accepted and what is not.

You can parade US elected officials naked at the airports for all I care because they have to comply with the laws of the land, but it’s a different matter for international diplomats/dignataries.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the VIP culture of Pakistan or elsewhere. Besides what is everyones problem? They were presented with a degrading option and had the cojones to say no thank you and walk away…which is something that can’t be said for many of the spineless wankers on this thread.

@ pak-one - I dont have any idea about international diplomacy and protocols - what are the rules and regulations?

@ Shamraz Khan - They have to do random searches of their own people for statistical purposes. I wonder how many Muslims go through such searches as compared to non-Muslims?

@ burqposh - I think you dont have any idea about tribal culture or way of life and rather than ngeating it constantlywhy dont you see what positive side their is to it. If you hate tribal people so much why dont you start a petition to hand this "useless" stretch of land with this more trouble than good people to Afghanistan or any other country?

Where are these poor tribals going to learn how to become civilised non-tribal people? Will they follow our most urban and non-tribal zone the Karachi model of civlisation?

Will they learn from our political elite and follow their example?

Burqaposh you should feel PRIDE that SOMEONE in your country has some backbone and self-respect. I AM PERSONALLY FED UP OF THESE AMERICAN BOOT LICKING POLITICIANS AND ELITE WE HAVE WHICH ARE THE FAR BIGGEST CAUSE IN THE DEGREDATION AND DESCENT OF PAKISTAN.

PS - any one knows what "Altaf Bhai" has said on the subject? Not that his opinions matter but he makes a drama out of most things.

Re: FATA delegation in USA

Now, did you guys think of another possibility? These guys may have had something on their persons that they did not want to be found out? When the took of from Pakistan I am sure they were accorded vip treatment and went thru unchecked. They land in the US, clear customs - their bags may be checked but not their person. The first time they were asked to be checked like any other passenger, they protest and leave in a huff.

There is no protocol for exempting any visiting delegation. May be heads of states and at most cabinet level ministers are exempt - even the latter I am not sure.

Is it becoming a habit for Pakistani leaders to hide become pseudo patriotism when they get caught? remember Afridi tried to use the same excuse "I wanted Pakistan to win at least once, that's why I bit the ball"...

What is so denigrating about being scanned?

F the Altaf and his goons.

Now that is clear, let me say this. Tribalism belongs to an era 5000 years ago or even earlier.

These FATA pathetic have willingly kept their people as tree dwelling cave residing apes.

They have actively resisted the remove of draconian FCR.

They take millions and billions of hard earned Pakistani taxpayer money and use it continue their chokehold on the tribal regions.

You say we need to give FATA to Afghanistan.

Are you Pakistani? I doubt it. You must be joking or you are a Kabuli.

Because no country gives up their territory. If these Tribals are happy in Fghanistan, then they pack up and leave. and we will bring new people in FATA and civilize it.

So that it becomes part of the Pakistan instead of being forced into this miserable and pathetic situation by its own khans and maliks.

So it is time to fess up your stance. Are you a Pakistani or a Kabuli.

Thank you.

@ Western Bear - they sure did have something - SELF RESPECT! call it stupid call it silly but they were free to do what they want. I and most other Pakistans are glad not every single person going to the USA on diplomatic/state business is going to be treated like that.

If they had something on them how did they even get that far in the first place? Im glad some body in Pakistan stood up to the Americans and say we CO-OPERATE noit you just order me around!

@ burqaposhx - I doubt your a Pakistani as you constantly degrade parts of Pakistan. "Tree dwelling cave residing apes" - these people own all their own houses and are not enslaved to a mortgage system like some "civlised" people in the "civilised" world. The land does not belong to the state but to the people. They have been far longer than anyone else.

I ll be anything but never a part of that American boot licking brigade. Which role models do you want the tribals to learn from?

These are the civlised people Pakistan can offer :-

  1. Maulana Diesel
  2. Zardari
  3. Zia Ul Haq
  4. Altaf Hussain
  5. Asfandyar Wali Khan
  6. Nawaz Sharif
  7. Musharaf
  8. Qazi Hussain
  9. Benazir
  10. ZAB

So burqaposh x which of these civilised, patriotic, just people do you expect the tribals to follow and learn from?

Re: FATA delegation in USA

@ Burqa.. F the Altaf and his goons lol...

@thejoke...excellent points.

Just pointing the facts me love! ;)

Tribal culture mixed with Islamism has really hurt us. FATA is the worse.

however there are plenty of examples of petty tribalism from even the big cities.

Look at the shenanigans of Altaf and co.

Karachi could have been the queen of Asia if not for the goons peddling Muhajiristan.

Punjab is 80+ million agri and industry hub, and yet it produces pathetic level of collective DECLARED wealth/money/funds. Just Punjab alone should be able to produce and generate funds compared to France that has similar population but luckily they are without the Islamism and tribalism.

The difference is clear.

We won't progress unless we all shed the yoke of ancient stone age mentality.

The mentality that is shown by this E$tupeed delegation from FATA and being supported by so many so-called educated but mentally tribal people around Pakistan.

But many posters will never get this. Their heads are buried deep in the muck of ethno-fascism coupled with islamism.

Their brains are now closed, the eyes are shut, and the ears are deaf to the new ideas.

Anyone moaning and groaning about the labels like tribal should look at two things.

  1. FATA -- Means federally administered TRIBAL area aka stone age cesspool

  2. FCR - frontier crime regulations specific to TRIBAL areas aka lawless hell hole.

Instead of shooting the messenger, the so-called defenders of tribals should go and fight to rid the two stone age, primitive chimpi systems aka FATA and FCR.

Do something positive for a change instead of harping on and supporting the hellish laws and customs and system.

It takes mental clarity and courage to call a spade! Spade! If Karachites can call Altaf a petty goon, why you all are defending the goons of FATA?

Thank you.

Wow, so guys, belonging to a tribe these days will make you less of a human according to Mr hidingBehindaBURQA...

remind me again not to take your comments seriously!
