If poverty and illiteracy are not the main cause than what is the factor that induce the young people to die while committing suicide bombing? If we rationally think people do some thing for getting reward.Either here or hereafter.
On the other hand yes i do agree the brain washing has nothing to do with literacy or illiteracy but it is related to level of maturity of a particular issue.As we are not enough mature on the religious issues due to lot of reasons, so any one of us could be come the victim of evil forces irrespective of education.

i disagree with the point that most of the terrorist belong to well-educated families..i think in Pakistan it is a short cut to earn a good to medium living standard for a family...
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... |

Most ambiguous term of this decade is Terrorism; having diverse delineation around the globe. For some it can be a fight for rights and some fight it for rights. Debate on theoretical study approach of terrorism can be a topic for those who want to send a literary masterpiece to market for the sake of best-seller’s tag but for those who suffer something like this it need practical approach. 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.

It was definitely an interesting article. I partially agree with the writer's point of view. My limited reading and knowledge on the subject concludes it to be an ideological war. It is not just breeding on poverty and unemployment but has strong ideological basis. A person motivated by its belief on a certain ideology can definitely go at any length to ensure its success. Hence not only the poors and unemployed but middle-class and educated people too have sympethies for such elements and can be a party to it. I believe that only force and our conventional politics will not be successful in curing this cancer in any time soon. It had to be fought back on ideological basis with politics being a strong tool to it.
P.S: As am a newbie, freshly started my preparation. Any constructive criticism is highly appreciated. |

For other type of insurgents, our modus operandi should be different, but forming an escalatory spiral will never help the cause. For nation building the terms like surrender need to be rephrased and redefined. We are never supposed to lose our system to any group but we need to make our system more acceptable for our public.
