#1 Despite what Rantburgers could think it is a positive development (at least for us). People who want Pashkhtunwa refuse Shariah they call "an Arab thing" and don't accept the Pakistani motto "these are petty differnces, we are Muslims first and Pashtun-Sindh-Punjabi later, we must concentrate on fighting infidels".

As I said, Pakistan's survival depends on radicalization of its population (and Afghanistan's failure) and has pushed it far beyond the "natural radicalism" of its populations. The sooner it implodes the best for us. And these guys want it to implode...

#2 A conflict among Mohammedans is always good. One thing must be kept firmly in mind, though: there are no good guys over there.

#3 I didn't say the Pashtunkhwa people are democrats or pro-women rights. Only that they want to be left alone, don't care about Jihad and are not fond of foreigners be they Americans, Punjabis or Arabs. It is OK with me. And if they cut a few jihadists throats I am all for providing them with better weapons than mere knives.

Also once you become nationalist it is not a too difficult step to think nation is more important than religion and from then, like Mustafa Kemal, to think that islam is keeping the nation down.

#4 I didn't mean you, personally.
