Since Kafirstan is historically continuous with Nuristan, it seems more logical to merge the contents of this article into "Nurestan" or "History of Nurestan", and have "Kafirstan" to be a redirect to "Nurestan". Does that make sense?
All the best,

Having been to Kafirstan on 3 occasions I was a little dissapointed with the content here. some of it was innaccurate and it didnt even mention the fact that Kafiristan currently exists in Pakistan! and is a major tourist attraction there! furthermore, when I went there, I met several officials from Greece, that had established schools and uplift programs in the region. Can someone tell me if I can possibly upload some of my own personal pics here of the region that i've taken? is that allowed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.63.161.200 ( talk • contribs) 22:55, 20 June 2007
My friend, the Kalash Valleys were never part of Kafiristan the Kalash have been subjects of H.H. The Mehtar of Chitral for hundreds of years and that area is an integral part of Chitral. The term Kafiristan is errouneously used to refer to the Kalash Valleys and this ia a offensive practice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.99.177.219 ( talk) 22:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Could this be an example of Phono-semantic matching? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phono-semantic_matching 122.169.35.148 ( talk) 10:26, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

"After declining population figures because of forced conversion" makes me wonder how, in general, forced conversion causes declining population. Are we humans less prolific after conversion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gil Dawson ( talk • contribs) 06:55, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
