For Pakistan the suitable definition can be borrowed from Vice-President’s Task Force’s 1986′s statement that terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence against persons or property to further political or social objectives. It is usually intended to intimidate or coerce a government, individuals or groups, or to modify their behavior or politics. Yet it can not be defined in terms of words as it purely relies on intentions and causes hence it should have the same way to analyze and cure this social pathogen.
When society comes out of box it compels others to pay attention towards it; terrorism has the same line of action but the fact is that there is no terrorism in Pakistan it is a reactionary wave of demands somehow reasonable and somehow lame that is called terrorism in Pakistan. Till the day some “book-maker” gives it a new nomenclature let’s use the same name for situation in Pakistan. Pakistan unfortunately faces two types of terrorism one is based on psychological grounds and other one is motivated by ideological demands but we are yet to understand the dichotomy between these two completely different salmonellae. We are unable to differentiate between the misguided, pauperized people in FATA and well-equipped masked Trojan horses of Jamia-Hafza in Islamabad. We go after both of these in same attitude with same slogan despite the fact that these need different treatments. Former one is a result of desperation added with fuel of ignorance while latter one is a systematic wave for ideological objectives. Both these may have external hands on there back and shoulder respectively but their personal goals are totally different. We need to address their demands not their goals since by meeting or treating their demands we can change their goals according to our national interest.
Talking about social and psychological demands of violent people its not hard to detect the fault-line, we can not persecute a person for doing wrong if we have not told him what is wrong and what is right. We can not ask the question of patriotism from those whom we have never taught the lesson of patriotism we can not expect the good from those with whom we have never done so. So instead of going hard on those we must access them and make them aware of what they should do and let them do what they need to do.
The real test of decision making and implementation is held when treating the other type of demands which is completely ideological with zero-tolerance on their part but here again it is not a fantasy ideology—- neither are those people iron made deaf robots that they can not get input signals if given in proper frequency ranging in their bandwidth. Time is gone when malfunctioning were resolved by hardware troubleshooting like hardware replacement or detachments now self programmed software systems are enough to remove any malicious insurgent.

only the point of brainwashing doesn't relate to educational background because when one is unaware of the true spirit of Islam will be more likely to be victimized...
