One of the most pathetic statements I have heard against the very word and spirit of the International Humanitarian Law and Refugee Law: the responsibility to protect those that you have abandoned and betrayed. If you can't help, "do no harm" to anyone in search of protection.

A disgraceful act of aggression from Pakistan's prominent cricket player @AasifAli2018 , pointing his bat like a gun towards Afghan players, who gave him and his teammates a tough time. Above all, sports is about healthy competition, friendship and peace. Time for war will come!

Some Peshawer-born Talib, who himself speaks broken Pashtu mixed with Dari and English words, is forcing a Dari-speaker Afghan to write in Pashtu. One of the Afghan official languages, Dari has been Afghanistan’s lingua franca since time immemorial. Former Afghan King Zahir…

A young Afghan has lost his entire family and buried them. He is grieving alone, as recurrent 6 magnitude earthquakes this week have decimated the poorest of the poor communities across northwest of Afghanistan. Aid's begun arriving, reaching few. Much more is needed soon.

When these illiterate and jobless youth in our neighborhood see that Taliban ruthlessly destroy mosques and kill innocent Muslims, they easily justify why they shouldn't target peoples of other faith. That's why the world must watch out this growing extremist-terrorist wildfire!

Temple attacked by Islamists in Pakistan’s Punjab. This is how minorities and their places of worship are being treated and erased in Pakistan. This has become a daily occurrence against the Hindu, Sikh and Christian communities of Pakistan. Not to forget the outcast Ahmediyas.

Make no mistake, Taliban hardly represent Pashtuns in Afghanistan. For the past 20 years, Taliban's killing fields have mostly been in the Pashtun populated areas where they've indiscriminately killed and destroyed. But they do employ ethnic-nationalism to their advantage.
