almost but not quite hitting the nail onthe head there stav

historically the actual peole and religeons are a bit blurred, you can have afghani sikhs as well as afghani muslims, but it's them lot from the middle east that started the problems when they wanted people to convert to islam or die and so you had a fairly long and drawn out conflict in intrests

we all get along just fine when we need to but then you have the problems of partion which caused more ructions
india is more commonly known as hindustan because of all the hindu's that live there and when pakistan was created they split what we sihks afectionate know as khalistan (us being followers of the khasla) so we were a bit unfortunate

now this program seems to make out that sikh extremists have joined up with the taliban to discuss how to blow shit up, but that's about as far removed from the case as you could imagine, it's like the welsh starting trouble, it's just not going to happen is it but if the english and the scots were fighting over wales then they'd have something to say about it thats for sure

so in this example, it's like the welsh joining up with the ira to blow up bit's of scotland, which as you can probably figure out, is a bit more far fetched that ridiculous

i have yet to see the program in the links provided so until i do i can't comment, but others may have so that's who this is aimed at realistically
