Our political leadership doesnt have the will to address the extremist elements thats why they have left the people and the masses at the mercy of militants and the extremist religious factions. We the Muslims believe that Islam is a religion of peace which educates its followers to deliver patience and honor each others values and respect. But here in Pakistan it is unfortunate to mention that people are going out of their limits. Different sects and faction dont let other sects to survive. Parents dont teach their children to respect the person on the grounds of human values. They are taught to live within the boundaries of a specific sect and they dont let others live considering them a major threat to the Ummah, Islam and the Muslim society. This was not the Islam which was taught by our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Political leadership never dares to address extremist religious element as they are afraid of them and second they dont want to lose their votes. They are making money by corrupt means and the masses already hard pressed by the inflation, unemployment, lawlessness and suicidal attacks are left to fight terrorism. The Army cannot fight alone with the menace like terrorism. It is the political will which always give results. We the Pakistanis have unfortunately mingled up theocracy and the democracy with one another. What sort of Islam is this where young boys wearing school uniforms are doing suicidal bombing. Militants are using Drone attacks as a tool to justify their attacks which they are doing on the instructions of anti Pakistan elements. I am amazed who are the parents who spare their young kids to go and carry out blast in the schools and public places killing many innocents. Recently an only girls college situated in Ourakzai Agency was targeted. Its not only an effort to create uncertainty among the masses but is meant to deprive younger generation of quality education. These extremists are no doubt throwing this nation into darkness of illiteracy and unawareness. I weep with tears when I see children being killed and being used in the hands of extremists. The only way to get our generation out of this menace is to educate and provide them the environment of justice and corruption free society which is not possible till the time our political parties get united to tackle the conservative and extremists factions of the society.
