Wait what? Educated people are a part of the problem now?The educated chattering class in Pakistan will keep calling them extremists or terrorists. But they have fought this war for a just cause - to get rid of foreign occupiers and their local collaborators. This is the biggest jihad we have seen in our lives.

The supposedly pious Taliban were/are abettors of terrorism in the region.
How much development, prosperity and security the supposedly pious Taliban brought to Afghanistan by the way?

What kind of a society Pakistan would be where educated people are questioned but power-hungry militant forces are romanticized?
Please learn to respect the educated chattering class of Pakistan because it is keeping Pakistan afloat and striving to make it a better place for all. Pakistan would have been in dark ages otherwise.
My advice to fellow members in general: please learn to frame your posts with maturity and understand the significance of education.
