WHEN it comes to laying blame for terrorism in Pakistan, there are usually two schools of thought. One posits that all such acts are the work of the much-feared foreign hand, sometimes Indian, sometimes American or Israeli and, increasingly often, Afghan. Were it not for the active encouragement and support of these hostile powers, Pakistan would live at peace with itself. Muslims don’t kill Muslims after all, unless they’re Afghans. Or Indian Muslims. It’s clearly complicated. On the other side of the chasm are those who say that the exact opposite is true; that all the various groups brutalising Pakistan are home-grown and home-sponsored. That there is no proof of any kind of foreign involvement and that all those who point to such a possibility are deep in denial, and possibly part of the deep state. They’re both right and wrong at the same time. - By Zarrar Khuhro Read full article: dawn/news/1112916/easy-pickings
