At first, the media reported that Times Square Bomber, Faisal Shahzad's Peshawar/Nowshera links (suggesting he may be Pashtoon) ... now it appears he's Kashmiri.

Several sources now cite him as Kashmiri (by birth, at least) ...

Well they went to his village and everything and by all accounts he is a pashtun.

the first day i saw his picture i just knew i have seen him somewhere or he reminds me of someone.

Yeah ... perhaps and quite typical of a hysteric media there's a lot of misinformation, such as these reports here.

Even Time Magazine said that he described his ethnicity as Kashmiri when he applied for a passport ... nothing to say they are right of course.

We live, as always, in the age of disinformation.

since when did Pashtuns have name like

Faisal Shahzad?

Name is a Name, most Pashtuns have arab names not Pashtun names.

He ruined the Pakistan image.

He ruined the Pakistan image.

Pakistan has ruined its own image a long time ago.

Maseed,
at least they work for their country.

And Maseed do you consider yourself Pakistani?
Doesn't your Passport list you as Pakistani?

My passport says British.

Iam tribal and iam part of no country, not Afghanistan nor Pakistan.

I find both nations as enemies of Pashtuns, both worked for others and both do nothing for Pashtuns.

^do you consider yourself Afghan?

I consider myself as Pashtun, and not Afghan nor Pakistani.

Due to these two so called identities, our own identity is destroyed.

Not to forget half of Kashmiris are Pashtuns by race, wouldn't make any difference if he is a Pashtun of Pashtunkhwa or Kashmir, at the end of the day he turn out to be a Pashtun.

It doesnt matter whether he is pashtun or kashmiri, he is a pakistani terrorist, so far he is considerd as pakistani.
If he is confirmed pashtun then we should'nt be so surprised, our nation is famous for producing religous terrorists.

Dear Luffy

How come Pashtuns are so easily misled under the name of Islam?

Is it due to poverty that we wish to have a easier life in the afterlife or is it because we are just born so extreme?

Kind Regards.
