Pashtun Brotherhood versus Islamist Brotherhood; which one is beneficial for Pashtuns?

By Daud Afghan
Nation refers to a community of people who shares a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, and history. So in this regard, Pashtuns are a different nation historically though its politically Afghan nation today which also covers the non-pashtuns in Afghanistan due to a common government and territory. Afghan-cum-Pashtun Nationalists espouse Pashto & Pashtunwali, while the Pashtuns living in the territorial jurisdiction of the state of Pakistan are gradually losing their elements of societal/national originality (Pashto and Pashtun-specific code of life) under the state’s clandestine as well as blatant policy of Depashtunization (or in other words Punjabization/Pakistanization).
On the other hand, the state of Pakistan which is the brainchild of Islamic Brotherhood concept (Muslim Ummah) and the new definition or philosophy of Iqbal-e-Lahori that all Muslims are one nation and all other people are other nations (two-nation theory; believers and non-believers----Quran) espouses Islam & Islamic government, while Muslims living in its immediate neighbor Afghanistan are somehow being influenced by Americans and Indians which may result in re-conversion of them to their old societal originality (majorly Hinduism with a slight mix of Buddhism, Zoroastrianism and Judaism). This is what the expansionist Punjab-led security establishment teaches the Taliban. So, this gives the Islamic State of Pakistan a valid reason of announcing Jihad in Afghanistan and supporting Talibanization to fight back the American and Indian influences in order to keep the Afghans good Muslims.
But there are Nationalists equivalent of Taliban who have got the same valid reason of fighting the state of Pakistan for weakening and finally finishing the cultural/national originalities of Pashtuns under its depashtunization policy. So, in order to make a stable Afghanistan, the Afghan nationalists must protect the Pashtuns from depashtunization of Pakistan to promote unity and a strong national state of Afghanistan. Therefore, there is a clash between Afghan-cum-Pashtun Nationalism consisting of social democrats, seculars and liberals; and Pakistani and Saudi-backed Islamists consisting of today’s Taliban and former Mujahideen (some of them today are ruling elites in Afghanistan).
The war between Afghan Nationalism and Islamists took 35 years and is still continued which has divided the Pashtun nation into two major blocks; 1- Nationalists and 2- Islamists. The Afghan Nationalists (representing a national democratic state for Afghans) and Islamists (which generally represent Pakistan and Saudi Arabia) are killing one another till the last Pashtun is spared who will decide whether Afghanistan will be a secular nationalist state or an Arabic Muslim state or in other words; whether there will be Loy Afghanistan or the united Muslim Ummah.
Now, there are two opposing concepts; 1-Muslim Brotherhood (represented by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan) and 2- Pashtun Brotherhood (represented by the National Democratic Republic of Afghanistan). Now, we analyze which brotherhood concept is beneficial for Pashtuns in general. Under Pashtun Brotherhood Concept, there will be a stable and developed Afghanistan, which will present Pashtuns to the globe as a developed nation, will promote Pashto and Pashtunwali, and will be a peaceful nation, will be rich, prosperous and self-sufficient. A stable united Afghanistan will drag Pashtuns out of terrorism towards peace and will eliminate their miseries, poverty and finally Pashtuns will take a hold of their political destiny themselves.
While Under the Muslim Brotherhood Concept (United Muslim Ummah), Pashtuns will always remain a third class people polishing the boots of Punjabis and Arabs, will ever remain fighters and protectors of Punjabis and Arabs’ Islamic hegemony and capitalism. They will be drivers, guards, sweepers and their physical labour will used to be exploited in Lahore, Gujranawala, Karachi, Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. They will fight and kill their own brothers but part of (Pashtun Brotherhood) for the sake of Punjabis and Arabs and will destroy their schools, public places and will vandal their peaceful civilization. They will continue to kill among themselves and will try to weaken the Afghan Nationalism that is the ultimate goal of their Punjabi masters. The killings and bloodshed among Pashtuns will continue sponsored by the Islamist institutions in our villages, towns and cities funded by the government of Pakistan and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Our youth will be brainwashed in the centers run by Islamists for suicide attacks or in more respected words; the centers having back doors open into celestial paradise and to enjoy with 72 divine Hurs (young and beautiful girls considered to be offered to martyrs in the Heaven) while the real Hurs (girls of the Pashtun Brotherhood) will be left alone having no males available for them in their Pashtun brotherhood in the wake of suicide attacks, bomb blasts, and war constituting Jihad (the holy Islamic war to protect the money and cultural domination of Arabs).
The fate of females of Pashtun brotherhood will be, as usual, very pathetic and they will be exploited as prostitutes in the commercial places of Lahore and Dubai and this is what exactly the Arabs and Punjabis want. The children of Pashtun Brotherhood will be polishing shoes in plazas and markets owned by Punjabis and Arabs in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore.
Pashtuns will get bombed by the major nuclear and military powers of the world as the Russian Federation, the USA and in the foreseeable future even China for very good reasons as they will be blowing up themselves in the cities of non-Muslims for the protection and victory of Islam and this is what we have been observing since last 35 years. Pashtuns will have no place, no country and no state and even their own masters (Punjabis) for whose protection they are fighting will declare them terrorists and cheap people and this is what Punjabis and Arabs think about us today.
O Pashtuns! Please come, please come! Leave others, talk about yourself, talk about Pashto and Pashtunwali, establish a national state, make your civilization, be peaceful and civilized, don’t kill your own brothers from Pashtun Brotherhood for the favors of others, be united, and recognize yourself, your history, culture, descent and originality.
O Pashtun Youth! Please do not sacrifice your real Hurs (Pashtun girls) for the sake of heavenly Hurs (Young Arab and Punjabi girls) in paradise. What will they (the Pashtun girls) do, if you are nowhere here any longer? Protect them! Keep their honor and do not let them be exploited when you are killed in suicide attacks, bomb blasts or war for terrorism going on in your area due to your own involvement. This is stupidity! Extreme stupidity! Educate yourself on modern lines; educate your children and females. Stop the “war for the interests of others”! Stop the” war for the destruction of your own self”.
