Deep Roots of #pakistan's Extremism #Terrorism #Religion #Islam HT @afghancorner

Pakistan has changed little in the more than 80 years since a carpenter killed a Hindu for allegedly publishing a book that insulted the Prophet Muhammad.

A country that was founded on the basis of religion remains in a dark morass presided over by insidious, violent ideologies.

The cancer of extremism is spreading in Pakistan -- from suicide bombings, to religiously motivated murders, to zero tolerance of moderates, and more - whose ideas are daily warping the minds of Pakistan's youth.

The country is still walking the path laid out by Jinah and Iqbal during the Ilmuddin case.
