Afghans are not Aryans, we believe we are semitic, fro three reasons:

1) Hadith of the Holy Prophet PBUH (superior than any other soruce as credibility goes)
2) Our Old Oral Traditions from generation to generation and our folk tales
3) Islamic Scholars.

The features that you've described are of the Afghan Pushtuns, for example blue and green eyes, blond and redheads, these are common features even in my own family but are not present in non Pushtun Afghans

But that doesnt mean they arent present in other Pakistanis, Pakistani vary tremendously as Omar said

well, we all know, peshawar is a very historic city, with lots n lots of culture and civilization, but one thing, is there no recent development or major construction in peshawar aside motorway. just like lahore or karachi. thats disheartening.

Well, its not completely true but not wrong either. Sadly, new constructions and monuments are rare to say the least. On a civilian level many new sites have been built, I will post the pix, soon, God willing

Even in Lahore several projects have been put on hold.I think Lahore and Peshawar both are cultural cities (due to long cultural history..)..Both are cities of some of the greatest proud Pakistanis.The most natural beautiful city i guess is Quetta and Northern Areas damn i love Gilgit Chitral and Swat.I visited for almost 3 years regularly but my parents barred me in 2007 from visiting even Muree :(.

Once i was going to Islamabad with my uncle via motorway and he forgot to turn right into Islamabad at one point *i think the right road splits motorway into islo and the left splits it into Pehswar and we ended up at Peshawar Entrance Toll Post!

ahaha, nice sarcasm, i thank and appreciate every buddy, especially Omar bhai and righteous fire for your contribution buds. actually i wanted webby to open this thread, because i am slowly reaching the 700 mark, which i dont want. it'll make me look like i am really a senior member lol, and will equal me to jana, bull, growler ice cold. its not cool, we have karachi, lahore islamabad thread, but not beautiful cities like peshawar and quetta. i hope and wish all parts of our country flourish, and i want the pakistani govt should provide especial funds and they should have mayor like mustafa kemal who can manage development their with all his dedication. salam.

anyway i enjoy you people post such nice pictures and express your love for your country, its not so interesting to me when i post, not kool anyway.
