Being a Pakistani I'm more interested in discussing the devastating policies via-a-vis Afghanistan employed by military dictators of Pakistan, its army and its secret agencies.
Re: Study says tribals prefer modern over religious parties
it is not just Fata, whole pakistani nation prefer not to be taught by "danda molvi".
but welcome to feudalistic Pakistan. all sardar, jagedar, nawab, gadi-naseen (peer fakeer), waderaray went to some good schools (from peer pagara to bilawal) but how much do they care about pakistan and Pakistaniz?
result is still the same after 60 years!
whether its interior sindh, or punjab, or balochistan, or sarhad, commoners of these areas do acknowledge the need of education but they cant change the mentality of their "land lords", who have power, weapons, dont build schools, hospitals, or even if there is some govt one, they trap the villagers in such a way that commoner prefer to give away their "zameen ka chota sa tukra", and generations after generations work on their zameen as a "slave"!
Survey should be conducted on Landlords!

If we are Pakistani then we should not be using terms like "You Pakistani", "Your army" etc, IMHO.

Re: Study says tribals prefer modern over religious parties
GoldenAsif: Now you've jumped in with your hate-filled anti-Afghan rant and prejudices. Did you ask those Afghan students the reason of their hate. Maybe some of their family members were got killed when Pakistan backed terrorist Hekmatyar attacked Kabul and devastated it thoroughly-or maybe they were brutally massacred by Pakistan backed criminals Talebans becaue they were Hazaras or Tajiks. Anyway, badmouthing neighbouring countries or its people is very common in our part of the world and Pakistanis are no exception, read that Burqaposhx's post or your own. Almost all of the Afghan refugees camps were located in NWFP and upper BAlochestan and the local people welcomed them with open arms because we are anyway same people who were divided by the British imperialists, but unfortunately in NWFP the refugees were not treated the way they should've been treated.
I have nothing against Afghanistan Shawaiz. It's my personal experience my friend, maybe I am always bumping into the wrong kind of Afghans but truth be told the ones I know would always take India's side on any discussion about cricket or politics. And these are not under-privileged Afghans, they are engineers, doctors etc. and went to good universities and medical colleges in Pakistan. It is a fact that Afghan governments never supported Pakistan on any UN resolution. I don't know why but that's how it is.

by the same token, all those afghans and their offspring who have been given shelter in pakistan should be very thankful and loyal to Pakistan. How many Afghans did Pakistan wlecome?
As far as their hatred for Pakistan due to pakistan backing taleban, do they hate themselves for inviting the russians over? and how about the war of the warlords that went on unchecked for years clearly showing that afghans simply did not have the ability to live in peace with each other. do they hate themselves for that?
