'Poverty, joblessness' major causes of extremism: Asma
LAHORE: Chairperson Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, Asma Jehangir has said poverty, unemployment and injustice are major causes behind increasing Talibanization and extremism in the country.We're back to that again. Poverty, unemployement, and particularly ignorance are the major drivers allowing those who are in charge of Talibanization to harvest their cannon fodder. The major causes of the extremism driving them are Islam and the doctrine of jihad. She said this while addressing the concluding session of the international conference on religious freedom, minorities and supremacy of law here on Saturday. In Pakistain. Right. "Religious freedom." "Supremacy of law." Heh heh. Asma Jehangir observed that situation in Swat has failed to improve even after the agreement on implementation of Shariah in Swat. No! Reeeally?
