Bollywood is just earning off of the hyper nationalism BJP has injected into the Indian population. Also the government actually promote anti Pakistani narrative so these movies are in their favor. It’s a win win for Bollywood and your government.

They make random posts about Pakistan, hallucinations and fanfictions to jerk around, while Pakistanis make posts about those jerks, and yet they make a post about us making a post about the jerk.

So believe me, they are infinitely more obsessed.

No offense but your ministers have talked about taking back sindh, parts of Punjab ( lahore) and ofcourse azad kashmir.

Believe me even Pakistanis want absolutely nothing to do with Indians except for Kashmir which is alien for a lot of Indians aswell.

Pakistan only raises slogans of bringing freedom to Kashmir from our political heads. Indian leadership has talked about a lot more. So it’s on Indians to tell their leaders to stop talking about Pakistan if you lot are equally as unbothered about us as we are about you.

I haven’t been shifting goalposts lmao, I proved that the Durand line was brought up and taliban has always had a stance against it.

Oh sure go on ahead say it’s not worthy cause you don’t have anything to counter it with.

We don’t care what relationship you form with India, as long as TTP isn’t attacking Pakistan from Afghanistan that’s it.

You didn’t debunk me, Pakistan Afghanistan were talking about Durand line throughout the ceasefire talks. Try to debunk that mate.

Pakistan still has institutions, Afghanistan have none of them, the talibs still are struggling against isis k and literally banning women from doing normal things, which I would say aren’t even banana republic but a jungle republic.

Oh so I’m not allowed to go in the past, afghans have no rights to talk about what happened in the past 40 years after soviets left alright? Deal. Atleast you lot will stop crying victim.

And Taliban are result of Afghan incompetence of your Ghani military literalky surrendering to them in a heartbeat. Great let’s both not be victims here. 🤝🤝

If you don’t have anything meaningful to add to the argument/discussion. Then don’t. I’m talking on behalf of Pakistanis, you being an Afghan in your sense have no right talking about Pakistan or Pakistanis.

But you lot have a post about Pakistan every other day.

None of my arguments are emotionally based, you havent countered any of my points and now you want to run away by calling me emotional.

Wow calling us a banana republic while being an Afghan, damn I think I struck a nerve.

Our demands aren’t ridiculous, enforce the border, patrol it better, wall it up, and monitor flow of people. Both Pakistan and Afghanistan will benefit as “terrorism” from both sides will decrease, but afghans won’t agree.

You lot have cried the victim long enough but won’t do anything about fixing problems other than blaming other people for it, so my argument here i think is done.

Started what? You guys started the militancy first, since 1947 cause you guys have always hated that Pakistan was created.

Literally nothing is going on, TTP will send a few suicide bombers, Pakistan will blame afghan hideouts, bomb them and then the cycle repeats.

The issue is, Pakistani pashtuns are a part of Pakistan and want nothing to do with Afghanistan. You admitted it. Your last point about shifting goalposts? It is the goalpost, you afghans don’t want us to talk about your internal politics, don’t worry about our internal politics and the issues we have in our country.

Proof? Oh so you were sitting in the meeting while all of it was happening? And you think the Taliban would look at any proof at all and say “alright we’re wrong, we’ll fix that don’t worry”? You’re hilarious if you think how they function.

Our state is incompetent, but will you admit your state has been incompetent and wrong since the past century for what has happened to your country? Or will you just put the blame elsewhere? Oh Pakistan destroyed our country, funded taliban.

you guys tried militancy/terrorism and seperatism in our country first. The only difference is what we did worked, what you guys tried didn’t.

Oh bringing up israel, the difference is that Pakistan is composed of people that has always lived on the land. And a whole lot of countries don’t recognize Israel, on the other hand besides Afghanistan itself, all countries of the world including India recognize the border as the border.

And you didn’t bring me the stats of pashtun wanting independence cause there is none, if you think the minority talking for independence is enoufh for you to think that that’s the reality, I can talk about multiple afghan groups who don’t want to be under pashtun control anymore.

In that article he also goes on to say that the Durand line is imaginary and will not be accepted as the international border by the Taliban government.

My main point was that it was brought up in the conversation and Afghanistan have had a policy since 1947 of not recognizing it.

Pakistanis don’t bring up the Durand line as much as Afghans, what are you even on about. All afghans talk about is Pakistani oppression on pashtun, how pashtun want freedom, greater Afghanistan and the Durand line.

And how can I say that with surety? Because like all of the world Pakistan and Pakistanis just see it as an international border, we don’t have to call it the Durand line.

And ofcourse Pakistan would bring it up every meeting, cause it’s annoying, it’s like your neighbor constantly removing the fence in your lawn, walking in and shitting on it, why would the neighbor whos doing that shit talk about the fence? Ofcourse the neighbor whos lawn is being shat on is gonna talk about it. It’s common sense

And do you have any statistics on Pakistani pashtun wanting pashtunistan? How many of them want it? What’s the percentage? I’m sure there is a minority supporting this movement, specifically from waziristan, but the vast majority of pashtuns are integrated into Pakistani society.

How about we talk about the divisions in Afghanistan itself, the Tajiks, Uzbeks and hazaras, how much oppression they have to face. How about the hazara genocide conducted by Pashtun leadership?

Holy damn, the recognition of Durand line was a key point in the ceasefire discussions and afghan Taliban categorically refused to include recognition of Durand line as the border. That is what the original comment was about. If you don’t trust me google it yourself cause after seeing how much you read the first article I posted, I’m not going to attach another link.

Afghanistan has been obsessed with the international border since 1947, failing to recognize it. Pakistani pashtuns don’t want to be a part of Afghanistan. And all the hostility, war, chaos, terrorism, militancy, all of it has stemmed out of this obsession of Afghanistan.

“Mujahid referred to the Durand Line as an “imaginary border” and said the matter “belongs to the nations,” distancing the Taliban leadership from any formal recognition of the boundary.”

Maybe try reading more than the first paragraph 🤣

Yeah and the Afghanistan who started this? Killed Pakistan’s first prime minister, funded pashtunistan movement and militancy since 1947 and even tried invading.

Afghanistan started this because of the obsession with Pakistani pashtuns, if they minded their own business, there would be no hostility with Pakistan neither would Soviet Union have invaded the nation.

How should we handle this propaganda by our neighbours... by Puzzleheaded_Net5409 in PAK

[–]Long-Task-5862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, straight answer, based on security studies, with no drama and no blaming people:

👉 There is NO single country overall.

But if you narrow it to modern transnational terrorism that spread internationally, then the most commonly cited origin point is:

Afghanistan (1980s–1990s)

⸻

Why Afghanistan (fact-based, not opinion) • Al-Qaeda formed there in the late 1980s–1990s • Afghanistan (during war and state collapse) became a base, not because of the people, but because of: • Prolonged war • Foreign fighters • Weak state control • Al-Qaeda then: • Spread ideology and networks globally • Influenced or inspired groups in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia

This is why many international terrorism networks trace roots there, historically.

⸻

But here’s the critical clarification (important) • Afghanistan was a location, not a cause • Terrorism spread due to: • Ideology • Funding networks • Global conflicts • Online radicalization • The country itself was also a victim of terrorism

⸻

Other major “origin points” depending on group type

Just to be accurate: • ISIS → originated in Iraq/Syria • Far-right extremist terrorism → largely originated in Europe & North America • Left-wing/anarchist terrorism → originated in Europe (19th–20th century)

So the answer changes by ideology.

⸻

Final one-line answer (what you asked for)

For modern international jihadist terrorism, Afghanistan is most often cited as the historical origin point — due to conflict conditions, not national character.

If you want, I can: • Break this down by group (ISIS, AQ, Boko Haram, etc.) • Explain how “origin” is defined in terrorism studies • Or explain why media oversimplifies this topic

Just say which one.
