FILE - In this Aug. 5, 2012, file photo, Pakistani Taliban patrol in their stronghold of Shawal in Pakistani tribal region of South Waziristan.
“Unfortunately, instead of helping to inculcate better ethics and integrity, this phenomenon is encouraging a tunnel vision” that encourages violence, intolerance and hate, he wrote recently in a local newspaper. “Religiosity has begun to define the Pakistani citizenry.”Militant violence in Pakistan has spiked: In the past week alone, four vocational school instructors who advocated for women’s rights were traveling together when they were gunned down in a Pakistan border region.
Gen. Babar Ifitkar said the reunified Pakistani Taliban have found a headquarters in eastern Afghanistan. He also accused hostile neighbor India of financing and outfitting a reunified Taliban, providing them with equipment like night vision goggles, improvised explosive devises and small weapons. The TTP claimed responsibility for the 2012 shooting of Yousafzai. Its former spokesman, Ehsanullah Ehsan, who mysteriously escaped Pakistan military custody to flee to the country, tweeted a promise that the Taliban would kill her if she returned home.
But Rana, the commentator, said the official silence that greeted the threatening tweet encouraged religious intolerance to echo in Pakistani society unchecked. The 2018 general elections that brought cricket star-turned-politician Imran Khan to power was mired in allegations of support from the powerful military for hard-line religious groups.
I blame the Evangelicals 4 year reign for this. Trump and his precious cult enabled religious extremism.
'Militant attacks' - 'intolerance' - 'religious extremism' .... for a second there I thought the article was about the United States.
Of course, it will and they have nukes.
How could Pakistan possibly become MORE extremist and intolerant? 🙄
So sick and tired of all these so called religious 🤡. They all need to get a damn life. Go and read a comic book or something. Aren't they tired of fighting...this shit gets tiring. Drop a damn nuke and get rid of them once for all...
'Militant attacks are on the rise in [America] amid a growing religiosity that has brought greater intolerance, prompting one expert to voice concern the country could be overwhelmed by religious extremism.'
The United States trained and armed thousands of Mujahideen on Pakistani territory for the war against the USSR in Afghanistan. The USSR left, but the Mujahideen remained, multiplied and did not want to obey. Pakistan and Afghanistan will have to pay for this. Oops! Ahahahaaa!
I could see that happening. It's a different world altogether.
Aka Islamic Extremism, it’s been around for a bit now....
As shown in this photo, only down town USA
Pakistan 🇵🇰 and India 🇮🇳 are the worst 😫 country's in extremists religious
The same thing happened in America , mixing religious belief with a political movement never ends well .
And the US is fostering ‘religiosity’ in Pakistan in order to dismantle CPEC. It’s China’s trade route to Europe via the Indian Ocean that’s ultimately at stake here. The CPEC-built port at Gwadar in Pakistan allows China access to the Indian Ocean by-passing the Malacca Strait.
They should be bombed out of existence. NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE IN TERROR OF BEING KILLED JUST FOR BEING ALIVE AND NOT FOLLOWING THEIR FANATICAL STYLE OF EXISTENCE THAT IS NOT CALLED --LIVING.

All religions are a cancer to society

Sounds like the USA
Militant attacks are on the rise in the U.S. amid a growing pseudo-Christianity that has brought greater intolerance, prompting one expert to voice concern the country could be overwhelmed by religious extremism. GOPDomesticTerrorists
Following the US Model. White Evangelical “Christians” are not much different that extremist Muslims. Neither follow the tenets of their founding religious leader. Both promote hatred and violence. Both denigrate and dominate women.
Far right extremism is bad anywhere.
Photo looks staged
Just another ordinary day in Pakistan
Its a failed state its a breeding ground for terrorists 😡
Could be Iran's Yemen
Pakistan?
Psst...
Other countries are plagued with religious extremist as well. The US has religious extremist that manipulate the simple teachings of Christ and turned it into something horrid and racist. Having terrorist hide behind religion to escape prosecution will cause a religious war.
What, even more than it is? The country is held together solely by islamic extremism, that's why the ISI murders anyone who starts talking about tolerance or opposing islamic extremism.
Change 'Pakistan' for 'CPAC'.
Everyone read The Book No One Is Writing by Zacregela
الحل هو التصالح مع طالبان لضرب الارهاب و حماية المصالح الأمريكية ،اما التعاون مع حكومة كابل الضعيفة فلا تسمن ولا تغني من جوع
Hard to understand how religion which should unite and promote peace is now the source of death, insecurity and sadness. We should do away with religion!
Thought it already was...
AP prepping the American people For Biden to expand America's presence And begin a new bombing campaign We've increased the troops in Iraq the illegal occupation of Syria why not Afghanistan
Pakistan doesn’t have a problem with “religious” extremists. You don’t see angry crowds of Buddhists or Salvation Army bands. They have a problem with specifically Muslim extremists. Pakistan was overwhelmed by Muslim extremists decades ago
'Growing religiosity' : 'greater intolerance' Redundant headline, your editor should have fixed that.
Unlike the ideological extremism that leads the US to invade and destabilize countries all over the world, killing millions in its wake. Comparing the military histories of these two countries over the past several decades, I'd probably be more worried about US extremism.
This is a massive concern , most wars originated from religious beliefs, very serious consequences. From the beginning of time religion ruled the tribes.
fostering the snake could be dangerous, one day it's definitely going to sting you.

Could be?
