Everytime there is an Afghani thread, I read of their hatred towards Pakistan, but I refuse to believe that normal Afghani families are full of thugs, thats just absurd to assume about any nation.. Whatever the problem is, I still feel proud that Pakistan has taken in so many people on humanitarian grounds, when we are plagued with problems ourselves. Gulf or GCC or whatever they call themselves, have refused straight up to take any refugees from Syria, with all their wealth and space.. They could learn a thing or two from us, but maybe they are too stuck up to do so..
And I find the comments unnessarily harsh and uncalled for, especially because I've seen literslly no Afghan here besides OP, so its like you are accusing someone who cant even defend himself.
A few notes:
1. Afghani is the Afghan currency -- like Rupee is the Pakistani currency
2. Afghans like to be called Afghan or Afghans (singular and plural respectively)
3. Afghans generally take offense if you call them Afghani
Afghans are as full of thugs as we Pakistanis are -- perhaps a little more or a little less. There are good and bad people everywhere.
The point that a lot of these threads allude to is that the Afghan elite has fed themselves and the rest of Afghan society such hate against Pakistanis that we have now become to the Afghans what Israelis are to the Palestinians.
You will often see Afghans say in person -- during heated arguments -- I wish India would take care of you guys -- ;-)
Like all hatred it has no basis in reality -- but this is how we are seen by Afghans.
For example I was trading some arguments with an Afghan member here
@Sher Malang , and he said this, I believe in all sincerity that the bulk of the rank and file of the Taliban are Pakistanis. And, this statement is not isolated -- Afghans will remark that the long hair exhibited by Taliban is actually from the areas of FATA, forgetting that religious Muslims wear that hairstyle because they think that is how the Prophet wore his hair. Never mind that no foreign ragtag force can operate in a locality, especially one where people are as armed as Afghanistan, until it is predominantly composed of a local component -- but such is the paranoia, and hate of the Pakistanis that behind every shadow is ISI and behind every misery a Pakistani. Pakistanis are now the Jews of South Asia -- just like the Jews, Pakistanis are blamed to be behind every mischief and are somehow able to control things that others can't.
If you pay attention -- you will find Afghans on the Internet vehemently supporting the Palestine cause and then a few posts later compare Pakistan to Israel. Don't believe me -- go for a Safari and you will find numerous examples.
