This is not jihad-related, per se, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. The other day a colleague told me that Pashtunwali requires that if one of the parties in a dispute doesn't accept the ruling of the jirga, they can burn down that tribesman's house.
Oh, really? Wait, really? You mean to tell me that echoes of proto- Indo-European civilization survives in more than just Icelandic sagas? Perhaps Dumezil was right after all.
Next a reader is going to tell me there are Pashtun traditions of fostering other people's children, passing on a family "seat" from father to son, and warrior poetry.
