A naive perspective to have in my opinion, everyone is incredibly nationalistic in today's world, Afghans, Arabs, Turks, Iranians, etc.I see things from an Islamic perspective.
Arab states are normalising ties with Israel, giving medals to Modi, and Afghanistan even under Taliban wants strong ties with India including in defence knowing how they treat Muslims, just how they did historically. It is simply naive.
If you look at things from a Pan-Islamist perspective all that means is you will naively be used by others for their personal interests. They will weaponise Islam to use you.
A unifted federation of Muslim states is completely out of the picture and would have several problems.Pakistanis & the rest of the Muslim world? Answer: A united federation or at least a confederation of Muslim states. If EU can do it, so can we.
But a political-economical-defence alliance similar to the EU is a good suggestion and more likely.
I used to think like you once and suggest a merger with Afghanistan but those people racially despise you to the core, literally at genocidal levels, and want nothing to do with you, it will never work. It's how Hindus despise Muslims.The OP and some of the others may curse me but instead of creating yet more instability (even if we could afford it), it's better to offer them to be an autonomous territory within the federation or form a confederation. They can do their own thing & we will do our own thing. The only condition is an end to TTP terrorism.
-Once joining the state they will destabilise it from within by promoting separatist novements and insurgencies. Polarise society further. We have enough of this already. More will be difficult to handle.
-They will leech off the resources of others while contributing nothing themselves.
-Severely tribal people and backwards i.e prone to terrorism.
-We already struggle with instability and insurgency in Waziristan and parts of Balochistan, we cannot absorb even more areas until these are not under full control of the state and fully assimilated.
I think you severely underestimate how much Afghans hate Pakistanis/Pakistan. If you seriously want to annex parts of Afghanistan you would probably genuinely have to cleanse entire areas, which I don't think many people will support.
