Well I suppose that a ghazi warrior can be respected by any muslim because they were acting in accordance with the koran when they were doing all their raping, looting and just general murder of non-muslims. I think thats why pakistan respects them, because they are ghazis.
Most pakistanis are afghani too, I think Alamgir even mentioned this in an earlier thread.

Do you know what "Hindu Kush" means? It is a mountain range that means 'Killer of hindus'. See, the Afghans would massacre the hindus in the region and invade further into the subcontinent without meeting any resistance. Instead the hindus would flee leaving their women and others behind. The Afghans would loot the hindus and kidnap those who did not escape to be used as slaves. The Afghans would keep trying to transport the captured hindus across the mountains into Afghanistan but the indian physique is weak and could not cope with the harsh environment of the mountains that separates Central Asia from the subcontinent. So, most of these enslaved hindus would die in the mountains before ever reaching Afghanistan, hence the nick, "Hindu Kush".

You can only imagine what muhammedans did to non-muslim women. Or if you don't want to imagine I'll tell you that muhammedans raped them. In the muhammedan belief, a non-muhammedan women captured in war is the legal sex slave of the muhammedan ghazi. That was a incentive for young muhammedan men to go to war, and just unleash islamically santified mayhem on idol worshippers(kind of funny because muhammedans venerate a rock in arabia).

See when afghan, persian(mountain arabs), turks and arab ghazis used to invade what is now pakistan, they would slaughter the men and keep the women, for sexual fantasies, and the children, for indoctrination. Most people identify with their fathers culture. So I think its only fair that pakistan be allowed to name their missiles after their heroes.
Also, another important point that I think alot of people are forgetting is that pakistan is a country run by the elite from across the muhammedan world. Syeds, mirzas, khan. All of these are ruling over the natives of pakistan. Even Sir Syed, the man who is credited with the idea of pakistan, mentioned this in one of his speeches.

The time is, however, coming when my brothers, Pathans, Syeds, Hashimi and Kereishi, whose blood smells of the blood of Abraham, will appear in glittering uniform as Colonels and Majors in the army.
Would our aristocracy like that a man of low caste or insignificant origin, though he be a B.A. or M.A., and have the requisite ability, should be in a position of authority above them and have power in making laws that affect their lives and property? Never! Nobody would like it (Cheers).

Therefore, its only fitting that pakistanis have their missiles named after foreigners, and not natives that the noble descendents of abraham are lording over.
I think that this is also a truism in countries like iran. The mountain arabs there mourn the death of Husayn, a muhammedan who had raped the last persian princess, shehrbanu. Its really interesting.
