T HE HISTORY OF THE RACE IS A REFLECTION OF attributes, character and code of conducts, which makes it conspicuous amongst the galaxy of contemporary races.
In the Arab world the Afghans were known as ‘Sulemanis’, the Indian subcontinent knows the afghan race as the Pathans and we call ourselves Pushtoons or Pukhtoons.
The Pushtoons have traditionally been the Afghans par excellence all the other ethnic groups of Afghanistan carry other names such as Ozbeks, Tajiks, and the Hazaras. The term afghan is used only for Pathans. Strictly speaking this title is not really applicable to any of the other clans. It’s like the British people have kept the name English for themselves, but anybody can be British but not English!
During the medieval period the Afghans distinguished themselves in Ghoriate and Ghaznavid armies during the times of succeeding dynasties. They were the most sought after mercenaries. From mercenaries they became the rulers of India, then in eighteen thirty nine with scanty knowledge of the Pathan psyche, the British army invaded their country with dire consequence. With the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, the Pathan race was introduced in the international forum as an unforgiving race that could sacrifice everything including their lives for their liberty. Due to their expansionist ambition, the Soviet leadership misunderstood or misconstrued what they knew quite well, resultantly this invasion proved to be the last nail in the Soviet Union coffin.
The Pathan, a hard rugged mountain man is a warrior, a mystic, a rogue, saint and very ruthless. Beneath the heroic overtone their traditions are not only stoic but also fatalistic but one thing is not fatalistic is his liberty and love of freedom, Pathan is born free and wants to remain free, love of freedom is a sentiment which is rooted in his psyche and culture. He fought the Mughals, the Sikhs, the British and the Russian, plus the combined force of NATO armies which consisted of forty five countries. The Pathans are considered the most hardworking graceful people, born into his inter-tribal feuds fighting outsiders and waging endless battles, to him struggle is life itself, he lives and dies by his gun, battle thrust are pulse of his race, vengeance is his creed, violence his custom, where owning a gun or weapon is a cult as dear as honour itself.
The Twin Towers
O N 11 SEPTEMBER 2001, GUN POWDER SMOKE TREASON WERE already apparent in the first hours of that fateful day, when these monstrous mosquitoes seemed to have come out of clear blue skies, they have been incubated in the swamps of hatred bitterness fertilized by the west and the American double standard policies towards Muslim countries and with their corrupt rulers, kings and puppet presidents virtually without exception ruled the Muslim world. Just because the Afghan women don’t own the mobile phones and their loved ones cannot leave them messages on answering machines it does not make their incineration delivered from the blue skies by Americans and NATO forces any less obscene than death of Americans in twin towers or far away afghan land. The Americans and the west who thrust upon us Osama-Bin Laden to lead the holy war against the Russian, by giving money and weapons to the Taliban’s and their spiritual leaders who were created, financed, armed, trained and supported. We later learned how labyrinthine was the web of connection, Bin Laden greased the Americans with millions of dollars and invested trillions of dollars in Carlyle group, the Saudis oligarchy has one trillion in the stock market, few more trillions of dollars in the American banks, just the hint of withdrawal would send the economy of the U.S. through the floor.
Terrorism
T HE WAR ON TERROR BY THE AMERICANS AND THE west including their puppet allies Pakistan and the Saudis is nothing more than a joke. Al-Qaeda have been in existence for about forty years or more now, we in the west never heard of them, this group was created to oppose the ruling class in Saudi and not to cause havoc in other parts of the world, but thanks to the Americans the west and the Pakistanis that is exactly what they are doing now.
Pakistan don’t want peace and stability in Afghanistan because of hidden agenda, every historian knows that the good half of Pakistan belongs to Afghanistan, the British Raj was given (took) the Pathan dominated land for eighty years to control the troublesome Pathans tribesmen in agreement, the British and Pakistani government never honored this agreement, requests have been made by various afghan rulers in the past and present for their territory back but the request has fallen on deaf ears.
This is the reason why Pakistan don’t want peace or stability in Afghanistan, otherwise it will have another war and another enemy at its door.
When Americans say they also want Pakistani representation in afghan peace talks it makes me laugh, the Pakistanis have nothing in common with Afghans or Pathans.
The Pathans are from a different race, different language, different diet, different religion sect, and different customs. The Afghan-Pathan nation have nothing in common with Pakistanis, I would personally revoke any representation of Pakistanis in peace restoration with Taliban’s. Does the world know that the former president of Pakistan Perves Musharraf is responsible for the genocide against the Pathan nation killing thousands of Pathans in his tenure as a president of Pakistan? Now Pakistan is ruled by another homosexual with the name Nawaz Sharif who is hell bent on killing more Pathans, as the readers may recall this Punjabi poof could not remember three of his country’s demands when he met his American counterpart Obama. He was so nervous I ask you how can a poof like that lead a country like Pakistan. After studying huge amounts of incriminating evidence I have come to the conclusion that Pakistani, ISI and the Pakistani Taliban is all one establishment under one regime.
I will mention this related incident so that the reader can acknowledge for oneself what is happening in the tribal belt. The Orakzie tribe, which is the biggest tribe in the region, subdivided into eighteen komes or nations was subdue in relation to the planned attack on north-south Wazirstan. The Pakistani authorities found out that Orakzie
