#1 Has Balochistan ever not been seething? Is this the weather report?

#2 so the pro-jihadi support in Quetta comes from Pashtun in migrants, not from ethnic Baluchis?

#3 Pretty much, Quetta has a Pashtun majority..

#4 If the Baluchis are less "extreme" in their Islam than the Pashtuns, then how do you explain the psychotic rantings of the Balochistan Post?

#5 The Baluchistan Post may be printed in Baluchistan, but that doesn't mean that most of it's readers are ethnic Baluchs. As far as I know, a majority of Baluchs are illiterate, and even if they aren't, it is only the Pakistani 'elite' that can read English.
