I'm no Zionist but...

Khalil ur Rehman Haqqani, in civilized countries (Afghanistan does not count as one, which is probably why you are here rather than there), the way Muslims "protect" their minorities is well-known: it's called extortion, and carries a heavy prison penalty, and sometimes can be a capital crime when practiced the way Muslims practice it.

And, seeing how the Muslim-majority countries have expelled their Jews (in 1940, one in five residents of Baghdad was Jewish) and are now working on their Christians to ensure that the Muslim countries sink into even deeper barbarism, ignorance, and violence. Oh, yes. And let's not forget how Egyptian and Pakistani mobsters "persuade" Christians to become Muslims by abducting girls and raping them. Don't deny it, because you guys boast of such things when you speak Arabic, Turkish, Panjabi, or Urdu rather than English or Chinese, and are unaware that someone listening in isn't Muslim.

Indeed, for all the Leftist world's lachrymose support of the Falastin Arabs, no country in the Middle East is better to its minorities than Israel.

And, by the way, didn't some of you Pashtuns so provoke the 13th-century Mongols that they left the whole central third of your country looking like them rather than like the Bani Izrail from whom you claim to be descended? You are brave and alive only because you no longer have anything worth fighting for--and one day your tradition of brigandage will bring down on you someone who is more interested in staying safe than in winning your hearts and minds.
