Just watched the movie "A Mighty Heart"
The movie is about an American journalist kidnapped in Karachi. The scenes of the movie highlight a very important but concerning issue for Pakistan (or any Islamic country) in general. It is clear that there is clearly a huge support (surreptitious or otherwise) for Islamic Jihad related groups. What is surprising is to see how this support runs across people irrespective of the education levels. You would have expected the less educated to be involved. But to see well educated (most of them in the West) individuals so whole-heartedly support these extremist organizations is a growing concern. The issue is no longer only relevant to the United States of America. There are enough instances of violence sparked of by Islamic organizations all over the world. America is not helping matters by their cold attitude towards jihadis or Islam in general.
Lets see what the future holds!!
