Pakistan General’s Troubled Journey: Against Extremism and Terror


The army chief has presided over the most crucial period of Pakistan's international isolation and is clearly responsible for it
Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani made a surprisingly frank assessment of what was wrong with Pakistan in his Independence Day address at Kakul. He described the state of extremism in Pakistan as a thinking norm, tracing it to religion. Unfortunately his Urdu definition of extremism was not carried in the English language press but it hardly had any effect among those who belong to the Urdu 'episteme' or consciousness.
He said that violence sprang from the absolutism (hatmi) of religious exegesis which is intolerant of other Muslims' interpretation of the same faith. He said no Muslim had the right of absolutist interpretation of Islam which was a creed of universal application. He said: 'The fight against extremism and terrorism is our own war and we are right in fighting it. Let there be no doubt about it, otherwise we'll be divided and taken towards civil war. Our minds should be clear on this'.
The army has to fight this war because no one else is willing or has the capacity to fight it after a period of promptings to the contrary from the Army itself
