As someone of Bangali origin and somwhat relegiously inclined, you will never hear me praising Pakistanis. The pakistanis single handedly made muslim life unbearable with crimes, prostitution, drugs. They exhibit highly secterian tendency be in a berelewy or salafist form. They simply impose their jahil like tendency on relegion to beat other people with. The likes of EDL rose at the back of Pakistanis (Jehlemi, Mirpuri) moron shouting abuse. They need to be deported so they can drive there 4 wheel vehicle on rawlpindi highway shouting Quran and Sunnah without having any relegious sense or dignity or modesty as one would expact from people who claim to be more practicing then rest of the world. Most of the Pakistani educated women are marrying non muslim. This itself is indietment of this dissfunctional napakstan almost as bad as the zionist enitity.
Allahualam
"Mirpuris" are a minority. They are only a huge population in Britain because of this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangla_Dam

The project was designed primarily to increase the amount of water that could be used for irrigation from the flow of the Jhelum and its tributaries. Its secondary function was to generate electrical power from the irrigation releases at the artificial head of the reservoir. The project was not designed as a flood control structure, although some benefit in this respect also arises from its use for irrigation and water supply. The Government of Pakistan had agreed to pay royalties to the Government of AJK (Azad Jammu and Kashmir) for the use of the water and electricity generated by the dam. Over 280 villages and the towns of Mirpur and Dadyal were submerged and over 110,000 people were displaced from the area as a result of the dam being built. Some of those affected by the dam were given work permits for Britain by the Government of Pakistan, and as a result, in many cities in the UK the majority of the 'Pakistani' community actually originated from the Dadyal-Mirpur area of the disputed region of Jammu & Kashmir. In Pakistan, Punjabis and Pashtun are the largest ethnic groups.

1. Punjabis (42%)
2. Pashtun (17%)
3. Sindhis (14%)
4. Seraikis (10%)
5. Muhajirs (7.5%)
6. Baloch (3.5%)
7. Other (4.6%)

Mirpuri, Potohari/Pahari, Hindko, etc are not Punjabi and are not Pashtun. They are from the "Other" in the above list. They are academically classified as speaking "Western Punjabi" languages but a Punjabi speaker (such as from Lahore or Faisalabad or Indian Punjab) cannot understand them and vice-versa. They can all understand each other's languages.

Culture-wise they share some aspects with Punjabis and Kashmiris. Mostly with Kashmirs (however Kashmiris are a different group though they live nearby). They tend to mostly be Barelwi, conservative, fitting the stereotype of the Pakistanis you just mentioned. Almost all Pashtun are Deobandi. A large number of Punjabis are either Deobandi (especially from Central or South Punjab) or Barelwi but towards the East, so having not too much in common with "Pahari" culture. They seem to share culture with the Indian Punjabis (Sikhs) more than they do with the Mirpuri/Pahari people.

They are very anti-Deobandi and anti-Taliban.

Please do not confuse British Pakistanis with Pakistanis in Pakistan or even Pakistanis in the United States (most of whom seem to be Punjabi). They are not reflective of any other Pakistani demographic in the world except for these few cities in the border between NWFP/Punjab/AzadKashmir.

The most popular religious movements in Bangladesh (Deobandi movements and Jamaat-e-Islami) came from Pakistan (well Deoband technically started in India in 19th century).

Besides, this is a silly point to bring up. Do you really want to compare religiosity in the Western Pakistani and Bengali communities?
