Fantastic post. May Allah bless you. You cut through the stench of hypocracy like a master ...Aoa
I like how when the west blames all muslims for what a bunch of people do, or if the arabs get strict on our people, we get all excited about bigotry and islamophobia and racism and whatnot. A whole lot of our people live abroad and also help the economy through remittances.
Yet, when people from a war torn country, literally for decades, more than most of us can remember, stay in our country and some of them engage in what a whole lot of natives themselves engage in, we act like... well this.
The MQM killing squads, the PPP aman committee lot, the land grabbers from everywhere, the Sipah Sahaba, the corrupt public service, tge corrupt politicians, tge corrupt police, the corrupt mullahs, the corrupt liberal types... the corrupt clerks... just where do you even stop? And yet all of this and we see the only solution is xenophobia and hatred for Afgans.
The fact is we have done our share of messing up their country, whether with good reason or not, but they have suffered and there is some ill feelings that are carried. The situation isn't helped by pro india government and propaganda there.
However, they are not a lot compared to our population and they are not the cause of all or even most of our ills.
Blaming them for all our failings won't make Pakistan 'great again'. They, too, like most of us want a decent life themselves and their families without fear that comes with being in a war zone and displaced.
As for the idea that refugees should leave, sure, but is the war over now?
So, I think the lot of us sitting happy in our homes with our families should have show some sympathy. Especially as we either ourselves our expats or are relying on the remittances of expats to help our country's economy move forward.

Agreed. Although I will be first to state that many do and amongst that many, some who harbour visceral hatred for Pakistan. I know this from real life and online. There are reasons for this but leave trhat for another day.Not all Afghans hate Pakistan.
Without a shred of doubt. The problem is we have (NA) Northern Alliance [which hated pakistan going back to 1990s if not earlier] who are mostly Dari speaking Tajiks with a some Pashtuns etc dressed as Afghan government. NA merely overnight became 'Afghan' government after Taliban were kicked out of Kabul. a process that we helped to take place. Rarely do you get a country helping to instal it's enemies next door. And then people wonder why we have problems today.However the State of Afghanistan is an enemy
Can you even contemplate United Kingdom helping China to place a pro Putin's Russia government in Dublin, Ireland? What we need to do is keep a nuanced approach. While people here are lambasting Afghans do they not realise that Taliban are still Pakistan's strategic allies that ISI continues to support despite US pressure. I think we need a very nuanced approach that supports our friends in Afghanistan and punishes those who are against us.
So as clever policy of divide and rule why not treat Afghan Pashtuns on differant level instead of lumping all as 'Afghans'? I would give all Afghan Pashtuns Pakistani citizenship but reject others and send them back. That would still be unfair to some as there are some nice Tajiks [I know some in UK] but this is all a game of realpolitiks and not about ummah chumma or other factors. This would also help to divide the Afghans and Pakistan should do everything to create dischord between the Afghan Pashtuns and Tajiks, Uzbeks, Shia Hazara etc.
I reiterate all this is fault of Musharaf. Strategic sell outs are worse then even the corruption of Nawaz like he bought the Avenfield apartments because they reverbrate through decades and the cost in life/treasure is felt for decades. And we are harvesting that now.
