Most militant activities in Pakistan are carried out by Pashtuns and are hatched in the lawless Pashtun tribal belt, if anything, the primary language for actual Pakistani jihadis is likely Pashto. You will find most Taliban propaganda in Afghanistan aimed at Afghans is published in Pashto, it makes no sense to put it into Arabic as most Afghans, like Pakistanis, do not speak Arabic, lacking the resources of Western academics and psuedo-academics to spend a year in Jordan, Middlebury or purchase Rosetta Stone.

Could it be that many Pakistani jihadis have an affinity for Arabic since it is the language of the Q’uran ,the Prophet and the belief that Arabic is spoken in heaven and thus viewing Urdu as unworthy of communicating their ideas in? I know many Saudis feel that Pakistanis are inferior and consider hearing Urdu being spoken as somewhat like listening to a donkey bray. I also know for a fact that in debating Pakistani jihadis that they really get ticked off of you call them “ghulam” since this is what many Arabs will address them as such in an insulting manner.

Or a Chipotle Mystery as it were.
