Apologists are our worst enemy. Part 1 of 5 Today, Pakistan is in the grip of such a band of idealists called apologists, who defend militancy, favouring appeasement to a just retribution towards those who don’t cower or hesitate while targeting the innocent. Comprising of people from all walks of life, including prominent political and media figures, these apologists consider the presence of foreign forces on Afghan soil as root of all evil, declaring militancy as a religious struggle, while condoning the killing of forty thousand Pakistanis at the hands of militants and their terrorist cohorts. Militancy poses an existential threat to our national integrity and to combat it, we need to put these apologists on defensive by challenging their false ideals, and cleansing our collective thought of all doubts and misconceptions, about militants, their cause and objectives. After getting rid of this misplaced sense of apology and guilt, we would be able to undertake concrete counter militancy measures.
