> anyone that seeks a better future to avoid problems in their own country is a refugee, which could be a point of view but not one I (or dictionaries) agree with.

Um that's literally the definition of a refugee. Or perhaps your definition of "problems" needs clarifying?

  Forced to flee
Were the pakistanis forced to flee, or chose to do so ?

I'm not following your point, or are you 'just asking questions'?

Pakistan is certainly a place some people would want to flee from, Malala Yousafzai being the most obvious example of the terrors that have happened there.

You simply cannot equate an attempted murder of an activist to full blown war or natural disasters. Do you remember Anders Breivik ? Can you claim that Swedish people moving abroad are refugees ?

Huh. I just noticed this reply. Very odd. I certainly wouldn't equate Brevik with the Taliban. I've no idea what your point is.
