Pakistan's politics has forever been plagued with extremist events. Why does a nation threaten its own survival because of a religion it calls its own? Are the reasons really related to religion in the first place? The murders of Salmaan Taseer and Benazir Bhutto prove again that religion, policy and politics are part of one giant jigsaw puzzle in Pakistan. Unless we understand this puzzle, it will become difficult to understand why terrorism prevails in Pakistan. Drawing from his large body of research, Haroon Ullah explains a new topology for understanding the the discourses put forth by the parties in Pakistan, discussing the origins, ideologies and supporting pillars for the plague of extremism in Pakistan. In doing so, he reveals how the West can better handle the situation, and how Pakistan can improve its situation through benefactory reforms rather than violence in the name of a God all of them believe in.
