Muslims make up many different ethnic groups, but each group still follows the Muslim religion. Malala’s ethnic group is called the Pashtun. Fifteen percent of Muslims are Pashtun. An additional 45% of Muslims are the Punjabi. Some of the other groups are the Saraiki, the Muhajir, the Balochi and a few others. One of the more strange rituals of the Pashtun is that they do not say thank you. The reason for this is that they believe that no good deed can be repaid with a simple word.
