were Afghan rulers pashtunist?

But Hashashahin weren't the same culture as Bukhari clearly. So clearly this statement is ludicrous. There was nothing overarching that they shared except Persian language. hence tenuous.

Refer to my other post, detailed analysis is required, not an poster online setting up false dichotomies.

Yes.. they were part of the same culture. Whether I like them or not they are part of our history. Hashashins were an offshoot of Persian civilization, not Arabic nor Indian nor Western nor Turkish. Persian. Same thing goes for Bukhari.

Now you are once again trying to divert and confuse the topic but truth here is we are not talking about Persians or Arabs, but about Pashtuns and their huge problem when it comes to religious fanaticism and violence.

repeating a faulty argument doesn't make it less faulty.

To be fair though, the Northern Alliance wasn't exactly a peacekeeping group. They were also warlords, not ignoring the violence in the Pashtun areas but still. Plus the role of Pakistan in keeping Pashtuns ignorant can't be ignored either.
