Are there universal characteristics of belief systems that are common across all cultures? What are they and how can they bring us together?

This is a fact that we humans are intelligent, rational and social in nature. Human cultures were founded on their belief systems. With cultural evolution old beliefs have been reformed moreover new beliefs have been recognized. However characteristics of all beliefs remained more or less the same. All belief systems share same features like existence of God (or gods), life after death, worship of God (or gods) and societal principles like compassion, patience and forgiveness. All such social moralities are rational and get compliment by human nature. People easily accept such teachings in contrast to teachings of hatred and conflicts.
In pursuance to develop togetherness among different faiths, people must obey their instinct in addition to religious ethics. Because these two elements are leading commonalities of different cultures. These cultural commonalities promote harmony, which give birth to spirituality. Spirituality exists in all belief systems and serves a vital role to spread doctrines of mercy, acceptance and coexistence.
In fact societies based on compassion are often multicultural. In comparison to radical extremist societies, multicultural societies or countries have less conflicts and more progress.    

RISKS TRANSPORTING NATO SUPPLIES FROM PAKISTAN TO AFGANISTAN

LONG tankers that carries GP1 fuel that is basic need of american tanks, armored vehicles,power generators and other mechanized equipment at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan.

tankers drivers relatively feel safer driving all the way from Karachi to Mianwali,but after that as they enter Khyber-pahktonkhwa danger grows of militant attacks.

because of increasing militant attacks on oil tankers the insurance companies have been changed their policies against oil tankers and they pay 12.5% less than actural price of tanker.

lets say a HINO truck cost Rs 4.5 million but transporter gets Rs 4 million from insurance company,but they also have to pay Rs 60,000to register the incident with the police while towing the burned vehicle by a crane to Karachi cost another Rs65,000.
whereas 32 wheeler trucks worth Rs 12.5 million.

in transport business income is reasonable but increase in militant attacks has taken gross from it. transporter gets
-Rs 11.5 per liter to carry fuel to Bagram.
-Rs 11 to Kabul and Tarinkot
-Rs  9 to Jalabad
-Rs 6.5 to Kandahar.

Reality of extremism in PAKISTAN

over 35,000 Pakistanis have been killed so far during last decade.there are 4 types of militant groups in Pakistan

1) AL-Qaeda
2) afghan taliban
3)kashmiri groups
4)sectarian groups

Pakistani people are generally negatively inclined towards all 4 types. especially people living in violent parts like Khyber-paktunkhwa .they strongly dislike these groups because they have paid and still paying higher price.

however generally people are little inclined to kashmiri groups as they are providing public goods like health services and other basic needs. people say kashmiri groups haven't anti-Pakistan ideology as other 3 groups have and they are not killing Pakistani innocent people.another interesting aspect is that the poor class dislike militant groups more as middle class do.reason is,because militants target markets, mosques and shrines.where poor class presence in more than middle class.

and the myth,that individuals support militants because  they are poor and need money so they become militant to earn bread,is totally baseless and wrong. poverty is not the whole reason of extremism,rather its a small part of many other multiple reasons.

teenagers studying in religious centers and madrases are brain washed and then they have been taken to tribal areas where they get training n detonation.education in Pakistan in not free rather very expensive for poor class.which means 40% of population cant even think to take education here.and on other hand 7-8 children on average per family  makes impossible to even take basic education of primary.

and because the madrases are given religious education totally free and free boarding ,food,clothes,shelter and      other basic needs which government schools are not giving .so poor class take religious education from there.where they are targeted by religious fanatics and brain washed.


then economic growth is less then 3-4% is growing unemployment and inflation .and middle class is slowly sliding to lower class .and this cycle is continue.american aid for army goes directly of army pockets and have no effect on civilians and american aid for civilians is doing some betterment particularly in far villages,health,agriculture and education but it is very less and rare.that no one here accepts that Americans are even giving civilians a single dollar,they are just lying. Americans have to double civilians aid and built a strong and soft image in the hearts n minds of Pakistani civilians,the image which america deserves.
