Activist for several causes, Non Humans Rights, saving Mother Earth, alternative pagan spirituality, minority languages. I'm very much into interdimentional portals, cryptids, ancient lost continents and alternatives to the oppressive patriarchy
The only totalitarian group I can see here are the jihadists attacking the Kalash, endangering their lives. Anyone denying that is a dangerous hypocrite and an enabler.
For me, this mindset is core to fascism.
Also, I am not sure if these people need rescuing. I am not aware of them being persecuted, although perhaps suppressed. Their land is not rich, and religions are used as excuses for conquering resources. Unless ofc you are a fanatic that feels threatened.

Oh, all their pagan brethren have been converted to Islam already by the Pakistani imans and the recent Taliban attack obviously does not mean much to a bizarre mind like yours!

Your sophistry conveniently omits the fact that in Christian countries all native and pagan cults can practice their traditions and are actually thriven more than ever before, when these tribes attacked and killed each other in all the Americas, whereas in Islamized countries oppression rules.
Any monotheistic culture has a tendency for simplicity and homogenisation. Taken to the extreme, it kills diversity and leads to stagnation. The ancient European and American cultures were destroyed in the name of "our" truth, respectively by decree and gunpowder.

And who is exactly perpetrating it in its worst form, which is terrorist attacks all over the world whether in Africa, Europe or Asia? I'll answer that: Islamic supremacism in the jihadist strand, the Stealth Jihad being perpetrated in more poltical ways, obviously.
It's Manichaeism, the basic Zoroastrian notion of the eternal battle between opposite forces.
To feel good and righteous is a human need, but this denies human nature in its entirety. It's also Narcissism, the need to be perfect, pure and flawless, rejecting all that is not me.

Your analysis convenientely omits that the only religion which in modern days makes such sort of terrorist attacks for religious motives is exactly and only Islam, in its strand of jihadism. Sophistry at its worst!
Besides feeling supreme, it's more about intolerance, common to all Abrahamic religions, heresies and cults, but not unique to them.
A simplistic way to view things, splitting between the forces of good and evil, us identifying with good, and others (not us) with evil. It helps form an identity.

PESHAWAR: In the secluded valleys of Chitral, where the Kalash people have preserved their vibrant traditions for centuries, a long-awaited moment of recognition is finally within reach. The Kalash Marriage Bill, the first law of its kind in Pakistan, has crossed a key milestone with its draft formally sent to the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) cabinet committee on legislation. The initiative, co-drafted by Qamar Naseem, Programme Manager at Blue Veins, and Wazirzada, the Chief Minister's Focal Person on Minority Issues, promises to deliver what the community has long been denied: legal protection and a formal registration system for marriages conducted according to Kalash religious and cultural practices.

Stumbled upon this fascinating entry on the Kalash people of Pakistan. A minority still practice a polytheistic religion clearly derived from Indo-Iranian roots (pre-Vedic and pre-Avestan).

The Kalash are under threat from Pakistani Taliban
A remote and persecuted religious minority is an easy target for militants set on gaining territory by any means.

The Kalasha women are known for their long, flowing hair. They often braid their long hair, sometimes using intricate or traditional patterns. The Kalasha use henna, known as mehndi, for various cultural and symbolic purposes, including adornment, celebrations, and expressing joy and prosperity.

Usually I'm against the death penalty but when it comes to jihadists in the Mid East there's no other way out since they are received as heroes by their supporters if they get released, trying to make more terrorist attacks as soon as they get the opportunity.
