I'm going to add something which will undoubtedly get the ethnology-supremacists incredibly. I can tell just by reading the comments - there is a strong under-current of hatred towards Pashtuns in KPK masked by using vulgar language against the Afghans. I have no love loss for the Afghans. I have personally dealt with their behavior in three separate continents.
This has come down to Muslims vs MINOs. I've shy away from using these terms but it has come to do that. KPK and Afghanistan are conservative and more in line with Islamic values than Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. The MINOs ruling Pakistan think that by assigning these terrorists cute-sy Islamic names as Kwarjites or whatnot - that the PR battle is won. The truth is - many Pakistanis who are still practicing Islamic values across the four provinces - I can see why they would provide support to the TTA and TTP ideology.
The state uses Islam like a tissue paper whenever it needs to suppress people or to support foreign initiatives that negatively impacts Muslims across the wider MENA.
Non-KPK areas of Pakistan are utter trash socially and culturally. The cities of Pakistan are infested by liberal western ideologies pushed by "Elite" US universities - who we now safely confirmed are J*w led which pushed BLM, Open borders, LGBTs, Promsciouslity under the guise of "freedom." But actually it was to mentally subjugate black and browns Global South. Pakistan is in fact just as wrapped up in all of this as the others many here make fun of.
Nudity, drinking, LGBT, Zionist-Christians are running amok freely across Punjab.
If you give two choices to the people of Pakistan - either have a rule under TTA/TTP or the regime that was left behind in 1947 - who do you think they will support? I could literally see the current regime just as easily siding with their Hindu cousins next door against Muslims and Pakistanis who would want a Sharia compliance country - which its not at all at this time.
I traveled to Gilgit and many Non-northerner Pakistanis dressed provocautely. The people of Gilgit are noble and upright. Too respectful and honorably to beat the living lights of the beta males that often bring these girls to the northern areas (on long-getaway weekend). Many northerners complaint about this but they can't do anything about it which leds me to believe the state of Pakistan is deliberately is pushing this lifestyles across Pakistan. On some level, I have to applause the people of KPK for standing up for their ideals and values. This is a bigger issue than just TTA or TTP.
In short - the deislamization of Pakistan is in full swing. I am not asking to become Iran or Afghanistan - but what you have is a half-a**ed attempt at both Islam and Western values. The state knows its Islamic credentials are dog-sh*t and hence the TTA is taking full advantage of it. The attacks on Pakistan are directly tied to the current system and its incompetency and inability protect the people of Pakistan. I am still waiting for 2,000lbs air strikes on Indians....
