just a small question from all afghan pashtuns.

[rednwhite99]

90%? where did you get that from. I was talking about the ones with the sigs that you mentioned. I have only seen one. so its like .00000000000000000001%.

stick to the topic, no need to get insultive.

welll 90 percent is a right figure in regards to pakistani pashtuns..its just u who doesnt wana accept it .. ..well i dont need to prove it to u at all..u can think of whatever u like ..salam

[khushal]

there are about 50 million Pashtuns and that's the high end

so your saying 5 million pashtuns live in Afghanistan and 45 million live in pakistan?

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

So if someone can count in Pakhtu he is a Pathan?

Being a real Pashtun means you can:

1. speak pashto
2. maintain pashto with people ( pashtun social conduct)
3. Do pashto ( act upon principles of pashtunwal)

If a person claims to be a Pashtun but is unable to speak Pashto, his Pashtunwali is nullified. Just like a person who claims to be Muslim but does not pray. His Islam can be nullified.

And who will decide how much he is following and mataining Pashtunwali?

Thats up to him.

So if he thinks he is perfect and someone like me thinks that he is not I will call him a Pathan and greet him with cheap comments?

as i said i'm the real pashtun
where is the problem?

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

The problem with us human beings is that we consider ourselves to be perfect and we are occupied with finding faults in other people.

There are abstract matters such as identity and image. It is quite difficult to make sound judgements on these matters.

Study the explanation of Imam Nawawi's 42 hadith by scholars like Ibn Rajab al Hanbali or Ibn Uthaymeen.

It is an excellent tool to build the correct Islamic character. I have benefited allot from it. Still need allot of improvement.

[Michin Khel]

The best pathan cant even count in pashto. Enough said.

This is afghani propaganda to malign lar pashtuns.

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

This is afghani propaganda to malign lar pashtuns.

thats not propaganda. its a fact. many pathans are unable to speak proper Pashto.

[Michin Khel]

thats not propaganda. its a fact. many pathans are unable to speak proper Pashto.

I have watched many pashto programmes of Afghanistan channels...30 to 40% of their pashto is polluted with dari....even they speak pashto in dari accent.

[Khostai]

Most of the words that Pathans don't understand they say its Farsi LOL.
But its most of the time just Arabic words that PAshtun borowed becuase of the Quran is written in it.

Try watch Khyber tv, thats a true abomination and butchering of Pashtun language, especialy when they use Pashtu word in one sentance and than in other sentance replace it whith English....-_-

[Manzareh]

Brother, I dont give a sh*t. Persianspeakers in afghanistan use to say "afghan", just like pashtospeakers use to say "awghan". Even your pashtun partners can confirm this.

Tajiks are a mixture of Persians, Mongolian and Russians, I wonder if this mixed identity crisis is the reason why you are always paranoid and trolling over the internet like a decease, you are not accepted by anyone and virtually unknown in the world, maybe its because your people are always in the background and have never had no significance in history. You will never see a Pashtun join a Tajik forum giving boring lectures on petty words and expressing some burning anger, you doing this shows your absolute desperation and makes people lose respect for your people, the funny thing is its not even one person, the whole internet is FLOODED with Tajiks having panic attacks whenever the word Pashtun or Afghan comes up..your going to get a heart attack and high blood pressure, its not worth it bro.

Whether you like it or not, Pashtuns are known all over the world as lion hearts and people that are confident in their culture (I can post sources from many places and many people that have stated this I have a personal collection of references if you like ) - they haven't got this name from making profiles on the internet and bitching about petty issues like you are, it is very child like and jealousy is a bad thing it will consume your soul to an extent of when you hear a non Pashtun like M17arnold or other non Pashtuns showing any sort of interest in Pashtuns you get so butt hurt that you cannot sleep at night - this concern of yours will eat your soul so be cool and live your life, simple! you think that if you edit Wikipedia articles and defame Pashtuns in forums/youtube or in some grand scheme its suddenly going to change anything?, it is not, just face it and RELAX.
