Re: Jihad and the state
We should ideally rehabilitate them and bring them into the fold of mainstream. Saudi Arabia has been able to rehab many "deemed terrorists", and it is a success story. We ought to be doing the same. Pakistan needs to mold the Mujahideen of yesterday into the realities of today, and give them a new scope. Russia is not considered a threat anymore. It would be in Pakistan's interests to rehab and bolster the remaining Muhajideen to develop Afghanistan where it is able to defend itself and serve as a defensive Asian nation against aggressors, and exploiters who come from outside and wreak havoc on the land.
