We created the Taliban and we recognized the Taliban Government in Afghanistan. . Let us recall how America betrayed our trust after the defeat of Russia in Afghanistan. Today our govt. is partnering with America against our brothers. No wonder people call our government spineless. We keep borrowing money and the group "Friends of Pakistan" is a joke. In a recent meeting with FOP they acted like the IMF. All these troubles because we have a spineless government and its short sighted policies. Let us not fight the Taliban. They are our brothers. Remember the whole internal war started after the raid on the Lal Masjid. Why are they fighting the Taliban?. We created the Taliban and we recognized the Taliban Government in Afghanistan. .

Keep your sympathies and advices. We are one and inshallah will overcome these hickups just as in the past. And to our country men/women. Long before Partition, Indians crafted this derogatory word 'Pathan' which means decoit. Please avoid this. Racism cost us 1971. Dont blame the writer. Change your perceptions. Dont make Pushtoons Persona Non-Grata. And let me tell you that it is the establishement that has exploited Pukhtoons' traditions, culture, bravery, and simplicity. You have made him Taliban. Please stop living in fools paradise of Greater Pakistan. Save the one you have. you have already lost half. Repeating the same mistake will make you more unsafe for Pukhtoon is not Bengali. He is your next door unavoidable neighbour. By love you can pursuade him to hell and by force you cannot even take him to paradise. Please raise your voice against those that 'mislead' us.

The sentiments/views/concerns expressed by the citizens of pakistan can be channeled into productive use only if the top political leadership is dead serious to solve the issues and initiate moves to build confidence and trust in the people. Any momentum starts only when the leader gets into action first and lead the crowd from the front. Mere announcements is no good. Actions are the need of the hour.

I just advise them to study Islamic history especially time of four Khalips. You people will find that what is democracy where any ask any thing to head sate even about his personal life. Non Muslim Were part of the Muslim army even there were non Muslim commander leading the Muslim army. Well I just say that we people who lives in Pak and India we think narrow about our religion . that difference feel any one who have been here in gulf .In my point of views some tradition what we have from centuries just following or given cover of religion . like nowadays our so-called Taliban who are trying enforce the their tribal values in the name of Islam.
