You were making fun of @CENTCOM on the basis that he had a Muslim name. Of which I took offense because my family has also participated as part of US military and one day inshAllah after my studies I will too (as I have told Armstrong already) so it is not so absurd to believe that he is a Muslim in the military. I defend USA where they deserve to be defended, yes the foreign policy of the US is sht I do not deny that however you were bashing US on a thread that had nothing to do with US foreign policy. I believe it was a thread about people helping Pakistanis or something, I do not fully remember what the thread was about. My passport is irrelevant because although I know so little about Pakistan I have made an effort to learn more or else why would I be on this forum to begin with?? I am in a more neutral position when it comes to Pakistan and US because I can identify with both, on this forum the other American posters are usually in a defensive posture because they are outnumbered and so they go into bashing mode. Audio is just an islamophobic imbecile so him aside the others feel they need to be defensive when an anti-US posture is taken in a thread. Also a lot of people here think since the US government has bad foreign policy the people must be just as bad which is also not the case. Talon was calling all Americans racist in naswar corner on the basis that she heard some stories, I however having lived here my whole life can tell you the racism is little and white Americans who are demonized are not so bad. I have a lot of white friends, I have been to the "bible belt", have family in Texas which is perhaps the most republicanized christian state in the union and have never felt ostracized. So yes I will defend America when they deserve defending, so no you did not catch me anywhere.
Identity and ethnicity is being mixed up here. You can identify with Pashtuns on the basis that they are fellow Pakistanis but cannot become a Pashtun because that is a matter of ethnicity aka genetic.
My friend switch your answer for mine... it is one and the same.
There is no issue here. Ethnicity I already told you I tried to abandon but you cannot abandon it until it is taken so seriously in Pakistan. I explained the entire thing. You did not try to abandon America did you? I did try to abandon any ethnic identity.
I wrote this when I quit Muhajir race for Pakistaniyat:
Phool watan key
Ik din, jab mai jaaga tha, bari gehree neend sey...

Khiley ga, is watan mein, har rang ka phool...
Sindhi, Balochi, Punjabi , Pathan... kahlayen gey yahan, Pakistan...
Har phool, hoga azad, na hongi nafratein...
Apni, ghalti sey, mainay seekha hai yehi...
Apney, phoolon mein, tafreek nahin hoti...
Zameen meri, aati hai, sab sey pehley...
Pakistan, hai toh hum hain, warna hum kuch bhi nahi...
I became a Pakistani and abandoned the Muhajir identity... later I understood that it was not enough and grew attached to the Pashtuns. My book played a part. Some of the biases I saw in Karachi myself played a part too-I mean anyone would grow attached to a Pashtun person whose ethnicity is insulted and he only says Pakistan zindabad. Lots of reasons. Pashtuns have sacrificed a lot for their land. They need to feel assured that the sacrifice is worth it. I will join the Pashtun race. Pwe shwi?
