Introduction

God has created this beautiful world with immense love and kindness. With
Enormous affection Allah Almighty has given birth to his lovable creatures.
He has given multiple colors to this world. He has formed Rivers, Oceans,
Mountains, Stars and several other creations for the pleasure of mankind.
He has given millions of shades to this mortal world. All are made for the
gratification of human beings. Unfortunately, Human beings did not
understand the motives of the creation of this world. Destruction and
turmoil have become the fashion of the day. Terrorism is the gravest foam
of destruction and disaster. It damages the internal as well as external
infrastructure of every country. Insecurity and mental pressure have
created a sense of self deprivation among masses.
At present, Pakistan has been facing the gigantic problem of terrorism. It
has become the fashion of the day. It is regarded as headache for
federation and a nightmare for public. It has colossal roots which spread
inside the internal as well as external boundaries of Pakistan. Although it is
global issue yet Pakistan has to bear the brunt of it. Pakistan’s involvement
in war against terrorism has further fuel the fire. We are facing war like
situation in Pakistan .This daunting situation is caused due to several
factors. These factors included the followings which are summarized as
below: Political instability, social injustice, inequality, self deprivation,
religious intolerance, external hands and international conspiracies.
Definition of terrorism
The term terrorism has been used millions of times around the whole globe.
It is pertinent to know about the meaning of this soul trembling word.
Terrorism is a use of force to create harassment. It is also used to create an
environment of fear and violence. Basically there is no Specific definition of
the term terrorism. International law has no definition to define or elaborate
this term. Use of Authority for personal gains is also indicating towards
terrorism.
A handful of people who have their vicious interests to fulfill have not only
taken the lives of millions of innocent lives but also defamed the pious
image of Islam. Terrorist’s acts like suicide bombings have become norm of
the day. On account of these attacks Pakistan is suffering from huge loss
ranging from civilian to economics. People have become numerical figure
blowing up in every minute.
Terrorists have not left any place vacant. They spread around the whole
country. Markets, shrines, mosques, hotels, gardens and educational
institutes all are now under the thumb of just one click of terrorists. They
blasted everything. They are responsible for the innocent lives of people.
They hold special place in hell.
Islam response to terrorism Islam is the pious religion
around the whole orb. Purity of Islam reflects from the teachings of
 Holy Prophet PBUH.It always gives the message of peace , prosperity
, kindness, justice, equality and love. Islam forbids all kinds of corrupt
activities. Massacre of innocent lives are highly reprehensible in
Islam. Committing cruel activities are forbidden in pious religion
Islam. Islam openly negated terrorism.
Religion of Islam Advocates freedom, peace, mutual disagreement
and admonishes aggression.
Now let’s have a cursory look on the following verses of holy Quran
which indicates the fact.
“Do not aggress; God dislikes the aggressors”.
On another place holy Quran clearly says, “You shall resort to pardon,
advocate tolerance and disregard the ignorant”.
In Islam an immense emphasizes has been laid upon love and
sympathy towards all creatures. God has directed to be polite in
speaking. Thus Islam is the perfect religion of the world; it
condemned all stances of terrorism. How can a terrorist wish for
heaven? They are directly assigning their place in hell.

Causes of terrorism Now let’s have a cursory look on the causes of

terrorism. Terrorism is a crime. It is now become a hard nut to crack for
the triangular countries (Pakistan, Afghanistan, and USA).The causes of
terrorism is divided into spheres; internal causes and external causes.
Internal causes further divided into socio -economic causes, political
causes and religious causes. External causes include Soviet incursion of
Afghanistan 1979, Iranian revolution, War on terrorism 9/11 and
international conspiracies.
1) Socio economic causes Now let’s have a watch on internal
causes of terrorism. First of all, socio economic challenges this
aggravated the already deteriorating conditions. It include
injustice, inequality, poverty, unemployment, Inflation, food
insecurity, threat, dissatisfaction, illiteracy, over abundant
population and massive corruption. It is very important to know
these causes.
Injustice has been spreading since Independence. After the
emergence of Pakistan, as a sovereign nation in the world map, it
has encircled with several issues related to injustice. Lower class
people are always suffering. No proper system of justice is present.
Questions remain unanswered. Millions of people came from Indo
Pakistan Subcontinent to fulfill their shattered dreams but all hopes
were shattered by feudal class. This mighty class deprived people
to obtain their due share. This class joined hand together with
chief officers and usurped the rights of uneducated innocent
 people, who even did not know the hard realities of life.

2) Unemployment Second issue which Pakistan has been facing as

a threat is massive unemployment. The ratio of unemployment is
increasing day by day. It created a big gap between developed
nation and developing nation. Employment is now become the
need of an hour. Without money you cannot survive in this
materialistic world. Terrorism spreads like a giant because of
unemployment; innocent people are trapped by terrorists. They
give all amenities and facilities in shape of monetary foam. They
pay heavy amount to them and in returns fulfill their selfish
motives. They ruined the young generation. Proper channel of
employment should be introduced. This disease should be
removed. It is biggest challenge which is the root of all evils.

3) illiteracy Third cause of terrorism is illiteracy, which should be

removed instantly. In Pakistan illiterate person can easily be
cheated by sharp minded terrorist. They only want to gain their
motives. They can easily ruined the life’s of people .they have no
feelings for others. They are burning in the own flame of revenge.
They can destroy the lives of people. Illiteracy rate should only be
decreased by promoting the importance of education. Campaign
should be introduced. Government should introduce new ways to
spread education in downtrodden areas. Illiteracy is more in
Baluchistan, KP, and Fata and in the rural areas of Sindh and
Punjab. This evil is eating the roots of Pakistan.

4) poverty Fourth problem of Pakistan is poverty. Poverty is a term

which has been derived from the Latin word pauper means poor.
Poverty refers to a condition having less or fewer resources than
others. According to various institutional reports I t has been
identified that poverty is the main reason of terrorism. Accordingto
undp, 65.5 percent population of Pakistan has been earning their
livelihood on 2$per day.
Another report of Spdc has revealed clearly the poverty status of
Pakistan, 65.5percent in Baluchistan, 58.5 percent in NWFP,
28percent in Punjab, 21 percent in sindh.
According to World Bank report Poverty is spreading as a giant’s
deficiently suffered because of World economic recession.EU
countries pushed millions of people in debt trap. Poverty should be
controlled with efficacious measures. Government should launch
new and effective opportunities to curb the menace of poverty.
Mismanagement of resources is one of the major challenges which
 Pakistan has been facing. God has provided bundles of natural
resources. These natural resources are now on the verge of
destruction. Terrorism is devastating the natural beauty and this
natural beauty is a channel of obtaining food. Government should
pay high attention to this side. These natural blessings of God
Should are managed properly.

5) Lack of accountability is another factor of terrorism.

Accountability is very necessary. Without it no one can perform his
duties in an organized and proper manner. Absence of
accountability is a vacuum. It paves the way for terrorist to fulfill
their selfish motives. They are playing their role without any
constraints.
Corruption is a threat to sovereignty. It is an alarm for national
integration. This term has been defined as; it is a use of force for
obtaining personal gains. Since independence Pakistan has been
culprit of corruption. This disease is eating the roots of Pakistan. It
is spreading like a cancer. Mighty hands are indulged in the
promotion of corruption. No sector is saving from this giant. The
main reason of corruption is low level of salaries, Unemployment,
poverty, illiteracy and overpopulation. These all are promoting
people to indulge in corrupt activities. Corruption has the following
kinds: bribe, nepotism, favoritism, political patronage, bidding
process and so on.
Dissatisfaction is also increasing to large extent. It is creating a
sense of insecurity. Terrorists in order to gain their selfish aims
spread the wind of turmoil and threat. Dissatisfaction has been
increased in every sphere of life.

6) Food insecurity is also enhancing to great extent. Because of

terrorism, Government spends more budgets on the defense of the
country. The prices of commodities are increasing. It becomes very
difficult for an ordinary lower class people to bear the expenses.
Apart from this, Agriculture is the main blood of our country. It
also faces adverse impact. Our economy is totally revolves around
agriculture sector. Industries are wholly dependable on agriculture
sector. Everything is interconnected. Agriculture provides a strong
base to our industries. Industries are a major source of revenue
generation. Food insecurity is largely dependable on agriculture
sector. Government should invest heavy amounts of funds to this
sector.
 7) Political causes is also creating vacuum. It also paved the way
for terrorist to establish their foot. Political causes included the
followings; political instability, corruption within politics, no proper
set up, military intervention, Clash between institution, lack of
consensus, selfish motives of politicians, feudal dispensation and
lack of accountability.
Since independence Pakistan has been facing difficulties in the
establishment of political set. Basically, there is no political set up
in Pakistan. Everyone is pulling the leg of one another for the sake
of self motives. In the initial years of Pakistan, Muslim league faced
failure due to feudal class intervention. After passing some year’s
constitutional crises erupted. Pakistan took long seven years to
formulate first constitution. Corruption prevailed to large extent.
Military intervention to curb the spread of corruption became the
fashion of Pakistan. Constant four military interventions destroyed
the image of Pakistan. Clash between judiciary and executive class
have also come to forefront on several occasions. These all political
turmoil paves the way for terrorists.

Religious intolerance Religious causes also give sound ground to

terrorists. Now a day, religious intolerance is spreading around the
country. People are misunderstanding the religion (Islam).The concepts,
ideas and values which are presented by Almighty Allah in Holy Quran
are totally different from what people understand. This is termed as
misconception. Misinterpretation of religion has become a norm of the
day. Extremist considered themselves as the followers of Islam but
unfortunately they do not comprehend the message of Allah Almighty.
The message of Almighty Allah is peace, love, sympathy, kindness and
honesty. Terrorists’ are not following the message of Allah. They are
doing Jihad for themselves. Jihad means fight for the cause of Allah.
Fight in the way of Allah. Religious intolerance should only be controlled
by learning and understanding Quran. Quran is the complete Guideline
for the whole world. It is a sacred book which was revealed on Holy
Prophet PBUH. Holy Prophet PBUH is the biggest example of love,
sympathy and tolerance. Why we don’t follow the path ofvil war erupted and
continued for six years. This gave birth to drug trafficking, addiction, Weaponisation and
other criminal activities. It further aggravated the circumstances. Pakistan had to bear the
brunt of it. Weaponization culture entered inside the roots of Pakistan. Thus began a new
journey of disaster and turmoil known as Kalashnikovs Culture. Pakistan always supported
USA in the hour of grief’s always left Pakistan in the hour of pains. After fulfillment of
motives, this marriage of convergence ended between USA and Pakistan.
Iranian Revolution also created a sense of conflicts inside the boundaries of Pakistan.
Sectarianism conflicts erupted. Shia and Sunni rivalry began which further deteriorated the
condition. This also laid the strong foothold of extremist inside the boundaries of Pakistan.
War on terrorism9/11 began, when three hijacked planes collided with the World TRADE
CENTE NEW YORK and Pentagon building. This was the cowardly attack which occurred on
9/11.killed several innocent lives of people. People were buried under the roof of largest
building. This clearly showed the weakness of USA intelligence agency. President Bush
invited the whole international community to participate in so called war on terrorism.
Pakistan became the top non NATO ally of Pakistan. Pakistan moves heaven and earth to
curb the power of Taliban. After the long year of partnership, between USA and Pakistan,
USA has decided to evacuate Afghanistan before 2014.This war on terrorism has claimed
millions of innocent lives. Millions of USA military officers were lost their lives. It created
havoc around the whole globe.USA will assigned this responsibility to afghan forces.
External causes External influence is also instigating the terrorism. It is viewed on several
occasions that India is indulged in creating conspiracies. It created misunderstanding
between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Now let’s have a cursory look on the factors which are instigating terrorism. These factors
included the following; negligence of government, drone strikes, anti terrorism campaigns,
injustice, persecution of innocent Muslims of Palestine and Kashmir.

Terrorism puts adverse impact on the life of individuals. It is not only put bad impact on
individual’s life but also entire society is encircled. Flames and flames are encircling the
whole Pakistan. Every city is now under the influence of terrorism. It affects the mental
health of people. People fear around the whole country. Is this Pakistan? We were fighting
and demanding for. Our beloved father of nation who struggled to built this country so
called Quaid e azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Quaide azam condemned bloodshed on every
occasion. Unfortunately now at every place in Pakistan Rivers of blood are flowing. Dead
bodies are floating in this river, and all are happening because of terrorism. Terrorism
spreads havoc .It claimed millions of lives. Don’t know how many others will be victimized
in upcoming days. It puts bad impact on social life. Now Pakistani society has become the
hub of terrorism. Bomb blast has become the norm of the day. Every street comes under
the target of just one thumb click. Students are avoiding going to schools. Absences of
teachers are reached at its zenith. Overall infrastructure of FATA, KP, and Baluchistan are
damaged because of massive terrorist attacks. Girl’s schools are also targeting. The basic
motives of terrorists to damage the educational institutes. They do not give preference to
women education. They want to treat women as chattels. They openly negated the
concept of women empowerment. The recent attack on 14 year old blameless girl named
Malala Yusuf zai was regarded as cowardly act of terrorists. What they want? They actually
want illiterate Pakistan. They wanted to spread the condition of Pre Islamic Arab. Pre
Islamic Arabs were engaged in nasty circle of vices. They were the rulers of darkness. They
were unaware people. After the arrival of light in the shape of Prophet Pbuh the overall
world has been transformed. No one knows the hidden motives of extremist except
bloodshed. Education is regarded as the blood of a country. Nation cannot grow like a tree
in the absence of education. Education provides knowledge. It gives respectful position in
social cycle. Absence of knowledge is as similar as absence of humanity in men. God has
given full permission to avail knowledge. It is the right of every individual to attain
knowledge. Without knowledge, a man is like an animal.
Political turmoil is evident in Pakistan. This gives an opportunity to extremist .This turmoil
is further instigating by rebels. Pakistani Government should maintain healthy relationship
whether inside or outside the political spheres. It will be beneficial for the whole nation.
The recent clash of institution further fuelled the fire. Pakistan should play efficacious role
in countering terrorism. Sound policies are required.
Since independence, Pakistan has been facing several downfalls. These downfalls created a
gap inside and outside the infrastructure of Pakistan. Terrorism is the disease. It weakened
the foundation of Pakistan. From its inception it faced millions of difficulties. Early
problems of Pakistan which included war with india, rehabilitation of millions of people,
mismanagement, lack of resources, Water crises, massive corruption, lack of
accountability, unjust demarcation of state and mass massacre all were damaging the
existence of newly born state. After overcoming from these crises, Pakistan was encircled
with several others crises. These crises were democratic setup, constitutional crises,
feudalism, military intervention and institutional clashes. After ending these germs,
international influence were shacking the weak foundation of Pakistan. Hence it is clear
that Pakistan is hanging in the balance.
Economic turmoil is another impact of terrorism. Terrorism put worse impacts on economy
of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan is based on the agriculture sector.agricultre is the
blood of Pakistan. It is source of revenue generation. Apart from revenue generation it is
the source of food. Agriculture sector provides base to industrial sector. In the absence of
agriculture sector, industrial sectors have no existence. Both are interconnected. So in this
regard economy of Pakistan is adversely affected.
Lives of people are very much valuable. Almighty Allah has created his creature with love
and kindness. Millions of civilians have losted their precious life. God condemned scene of
carnage.
Effects on tourism Pakistan earns a lot of revenue from tourism. Tourism is regarded as
the source of revenue generation. Beauty of Pakistan is very famous around the whole
world. This beauty has been damaged by destructions. Tourism in Pakistan now diminishes
to great extent. This is another worse impact of terrorism.
Foreign direct investment also declined. This is another disastrous impact of terrorism. We
are going back day by day. Efficacious policies are required to cut the throat of terrorism.
Now multinational companies are not investing in Pakistan. It reduced our economic graph.
The picture of Pakistan in the modernized world is soul trembling. Most of the people are
going and settling abroad. Industries are closed. Economic condition reached at zilch. This
is Pakistan which is facing the curse of terrorism. Taliban is the slogan of carnage. They are
not human beings. They are dragons. They are creating havoc around the whole globe.
Name of Pakistan is iniquitous around the whole world.
Steps recommended by government Pakistan Now let’s have a cursory look on the steps
recommended by Pakistani Government to curb the power of terrorism. Pakistan has taken
several stances to reduce the intensity of extremism. The efforts of Pakistan military are
commendable. Thousands of military officers’ losted their precious and valuable life .Lots
of anti terrorism campaigns have been launched. Several bans on terrorist organizations
have been enforced. Numerous operations had done to eliminate terrorists such as
Operation Rah-e-Rast and Operation Rah-e- Nija, operation Rah-e –haq and operation rah-
e-rast swat. Operation Rah-e-Haq was the first battle of swat between Pakistan and the
Taliban. It was carried on 2007 in swat. Operation Rah- e- rast was operated on
30june2009.Operation Rah-e-nijat began on June 19 2009.the place of operation was
South Waziristan in FATA. All these operations were carried on to curb the power of
Taliban.
Pakistan, USA, Afghanistan Now let’s have a glance on the triangular relationship among
Pakistan USA and Afghanistan. Pakistan joined hand with USA to curb the power of Taliban.
The relationship between USA and Pakistan is well known as the marriage of convergence.
Pakistan is the non NATO ally of USA. Pakistan supported USA in every walk of this journey.
Since 9/11, Pakistan and USA have been working to curb the power of terrorism. Because
of USA strict policies this war creating a sense of turmoil around the whole globe. Drone
strikes are creating tension. Growing civilians’ causalities are becoming a threat for USA.
Now let’s have a cursory look on Afghanistan, USA Wrong policies and our options.
America is going to face the worst ever defeat of its history. The crusade that USA
launched after 9/11 against Taliban, the much desired victory has not fallen in to his lap in
accordance with its plan. The Taliban are proved to be a hard nut to crack for USA. Instead
USA realized the ground realities and make strategies for negotiations, it is committing
blunders after blunders. The rulers in Pakistan and the national security institutions must
keep eye on the situation of various steps taken by USA in Afghanistan. America is
committing blunders by holding backdoor negotiations with traliban. They cannot work
without Pakistan. It is the bitter reality.
Why does USA Leave Afghanistan? The answer of this question has so many reasons. First,
USA and NATO occupation created civilian casualties.
Second, military occupation has hampered humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts.
Third, Afghan women continue to face violence and oppression under occupation.
Fourth, NATO allies and military leaders are now questioning the occupation.
Fifth, USA troop’s casualties in Afghanistan are on height.
Sixth, Afghans are now calling for a negotiated end to the war.
Seventh, the occupation contributes to violence.
Now let’s have a cursory look on the recommendations for USA to change his policy
towards Afghanistan.
Setting permanent timetable for withdrawal. It would be better.USA should immediately
cease air strikes because it is the main reason of civilian casualties. It further damaged the
image of USA. It should also support negotiated process. Compensate afghan families
affected by war.
Conclusion Thus, Pakistan puts several efforts to curb the danger of
terrorism. Terrorism should only be controlled with mutual efforts. It
is not a war of one country but it is a war of whole world. Overall
international community should come forward to eliminate this
gigantic threat. Negotiations are now only the safe solution to curb
this menace. We don’t want more casualties whether in Pakistan,
Afghanistan or USA.Whole nation should come forward to defeat this
threat. We should join hands together and safe this globe from
violence. Proper and effective measures should be laid down by
government. Pakistan is considered as a land of purity. Purity can
only be remained if we understand the motto of extremists. Let’s pray
Almighty Allah to shower his blessings on Pakistan. Save this pious
land from the selfish aims of terrorists.
